Impacto de políticas de control de alcohol en las tasas de mortalidad por ictus hemorrágico e isquémico en Lituania: Análisis de series temporales interrumpidas

Abstract

Given the causal impact of alcohol use on stroke, alcohol control policies should presumably reduce stroke mortality rates. This study aimed to test the impact of three major Lithuanian alcohol control policies implemented in 2008, 2017 and 2018 on sex-and stroke subtype-specific mortality rates, among individuals 15+ years-old.Joinpoint regression analyses were performed for each sex-and stroke subtype-specific group to identify timepoints corresponding with significant changes in mortality rate trends. To estimate the impact
