“…This condition has been the third leading cause of death in Taiwan (Ministry of Health and Welfare 2012). The incidence of first-time stroke among Taiwanese over 36 years of age is 330 per 100,000; this value is higher than those reported for the United Kingdom and the United States but is comparable to those of Japan and Mainland China (Hu et al 1992). A number of studies have reported one-month (Hu et al 1992;Jeng et al 1998) or 3-month (Chang et al 2006) mortality rates of stroke; however, the one-year mortality remains to be investigated in Taiwan.…”

Moreover, previous studies have determined the risk factors for the oneyear mortality of stroke in Australia (Anderson et al 1994), Greece (Vemmos et al 2000), and Hong Kong (Wong and Li 2003); however, the studies involved only a limited number of study participants.…”

Long-term follow-up and comparison of serial changes in the one-year mortality after stroke are important in assessing the quality of stroke management. This study determined the one-year survival rate and prognostic factors of hospitalized hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke patients from 1991 to 2008 in a teaching hospital in Taiwan. We also evaluated the improvements in the one-year mortality after stroke during an 18-year study period. Patients admitted for cerebral hemorrhage (n = 3,678) and cerebral infarction (n = 16,010), identified from an in-patient electronic database, were linked to the National Death Registry of Taiwan. Actuarial analysis was used to determine the one-year survival rates, and Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to investigate the predictors for the one-year mortality of stroke patients. For patients with cerebral hemorrhage and infarction and who were admitted from 1991 to 2008, the one-year survival rates were 71% and 84%, respectively. In addition, stroke patients who also suffered from myocardial infarction, chronic renal illness, and pneumonia and had high Charlson comorbidity index scores showed increased risks of mortality due to cerebral hemorrhage and infarction. Compared with the patients admitted from 1991 to 1996, those admitted from 1997 to 2002 and from 2003 to 2008 showed 15%-20% and 20%-25% reduction in one-year mortality risk in cerebral hemorrhage and infarction, respectively. This result demonstrates the continuous quality improvement of stroke management in the hospital from 1991 to 2008. Further reduction in one-year mortality can be achieved by early recognition and prompt treatment of certain comorbidities.

“…With respect to salt intake, the regional difference was rather small in Japan; that is, daily salt intake ranged between 11.1 g/d and 13.2 g/d (17). When the incidence rate of stroke in Taiwan (18), which is located close to Okinawa, was adjusted with the world standard population, it was 320 (with 95% confidence interval of 258-382) per 100,000 persons/yr for those aged 36 yr and older. This value was apparently higher than that in Okinawa.…”

We performed a cross-sectional survey of the incidence of stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Okinawa, Japan, with a census population of about 1.2 million. A total of 3,644 cases of first-ever stroke and 898 cases of initial AMI were detected. The age-adjusted annual incidence rate of stroke was 105 per 100,000 of the standard population of Japan based on census population taken in 1985, and that of AMI was 26 per 100,000. The case-fatality rate of stroke within 28 days of onset was 12.8%, and that of AMI was 22.2%. Of the stroke cases, 51.4% were diagnosed as brain infarctions, 38.7% as brain hemorrhages, and 9.3% as subarachnoid hemorrhages.The diagnoses of stroke subtypes were confirmed by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging in 98.4% of all stroke cases. The long-term prognosis of patients with stroke and AMI was studied by examining their 10-yr survival rates (follow-up rate 89.8%). The cumulative survival rate was 38.2% in brain infarction cases, 40.4% in brain hemorrhage cases, and 38.2% in AMI cases. The 50% reduction of survival had occurred at 2,880 days after onset in brain infarction cases, at 2,764 days in brain hemorrhage cases, and at 2,658 days in AMI cases. In Okinawa, the incidence rate of AMI was still considerably lower than that in the Western population, and the rate of stroke was similar to that in the Western population. The ten-year survival rates were quite similar in AMI and stroke, and both were unexpectedly high. (Hypertens Res 2000; 23:127-135)

“…For the analysis, we used the RR reported by the authors for any CVD death (total CVD mortality, stroke or CHD mortality) adjusted for the most number of covariates • High-risk populations: n 4 (34)(35)(36)(37) • Different studies analysing the same cohort: n 2 (16,17) • Cardiovascular mortality not reported by levels of Na intake or only data of total mortality: n 6 (38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43) Excluded because outcomes not related to the objectives of the study: n 25 11 articles included for analysis (to reduce bias). RR were reported very differently depending on the way in which Na intake was treated as a variable (continuous, categorical or as the ratio of Na intake divided by total energy).…”

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether elevated dietary Na intake could be associated with CVD mortality. Design: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective studies representing the general population. The adjusted relative risks and their 95 % confidence intervals were pooled by the inverse variance method using random-effects models. Heterogeneity, publication bias, subgroup and meta-regression analyses were performed. Settings: MEDLINE (since 1973), Embase (since 1975), the Cochrane Library (since 1976), ISI Web of Science, Google Scholar (until September 2013) and secondary referencing were searched for inclusion in the study. Subject: Eleven prospective studies with 229 785 participants and average followup period of 13·37 years (range 5·5-19 years). Results: Higher Na intake was significantly associated with higher CVD mortality (relative risk = 1·12; 95 % CI 1·06, 1·19). In the sensitivity analysis, the exclusion of studies with important relative weights did not significantly affect the results (relative risk = 1·08; 95 % CI 1·01, 1·15). The meta-regression analysis showed that for every increase of 10 mmol/d in Na intake, CVD mortality increased significantly by 1 % (P = 0·016). Age, hypertensive status and length of follow-up were also associated with increased CVD mortality. Conclusions: Higher Na intake was associated with higher CVD mortality in the general population; this result suggests a reduction in Na intake to prevent CVD mortality from any cause.
