Trends in the Incidence and Survival of Intracerebral Hemorrhage by its Location in a Japanese Community

Stroke in Asia: geographical variations and temporal trends

“…The Hisayama stroke registry is one of their most established cohorts 45. They report a decline in the incidence of ischemic46 as well as haemorrhagic strokes over time,47 although the decline was steeper before the 1970s and since then has been less sharp. The Miyakojima study conducted in another area of Japan reports no major changes in incidence of stroke and all its subtypes from 1988–1991 to 2002–2005 7.…”

Impact of Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants on Intracranial Bleeding in Asian Patients With Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation

“…15 The Japanese also have the highest incidence of Moyamoya disease, which manifests as hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke and seizures. 16, 17 However, relatively large numbers of patients with Moyamoya disease have been found in other East Asian countries (eg, Korea and China).…”

Management of atherosclerosis risk factors for patients at high cardiovascular risk in real-world practice: a multicentre study

“…(31) However, the benefits of statin for primary prevention in real-life practice should be studied, especially among Asian patients who have a higher incidence of haemorrhagic stroke. (32)(33)(34) It is worth noting that in the past decade, several studies have looked at the associations between LDL-C, statin potency and cardiovascular events, leading to the lowering of LDL-C goals, as reflected in the current updated recommendations. In addition, during the enrollment of the CORE-Thailand registry, the 2013 ACC/AHA (American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association) Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults was published, and recommended statin potency based on patient risk rather than LDL-C goal attainment.…”
