Trends in cerebrovascular disease mortality in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020 / 预防医学

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the trends in cerebrovascular disease mortality among residents in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020, so as to provide insights into the development of cerebrovascular disease control strategy. @*Methods@#The cerebrovascular disease mortality data were collected from residents in Hangzhou City through household registered death cards recorded in county- and city-level hospitals, township-level health centers and community health service centers in Hangzhou City and standardized by the national population census data in China in 2010. The changes in the crude and standardized mortality of cerebrovascular diseases were estimated using annual percent change (APC) in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020.@*Results@#A total of 109 891 deaths were reported due to cerebrovascular diseases among residents in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020, accounting for 17.72% of all deaths in Hangzhou City during the 15-year period, and the crude and standardized mortality rates were 105.83/105 and 65.15/105, which both appeared a tendency towards a decline (crude mortality: APC=-0.80%, t=-3.832, P=0.002; standardized mortality: APC=-4.69%, t=-24.084, P<0.001). The crude mortality of hemorrhagic stroke showed a tendency towards a decline among residents in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020 (APC=-7.97%, t=-30.704, P<0.001), and the crude mortality of both ischemic stroke (APC=5.76%, t=6.106, P<0.001) and sequelae of cerebrovascular disease (APC=13.20%, t=18.103, P<0.001) appeared a tendency towards a rise. The crude mortality of cerebrovascular diseases was significantly higher in men than in women (110.15/105 vs. 101.51/105; χ2=183.078, P<0.001), which both appeared a tendency towards a decline among residents in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020 (men: APC=-0.90%, t=-4.669, P<0.001; women: APC=-0.70%, t=-2.658, P=0.020). The crude mortality of cerebrovascular diseases was 101.95/105 and appeared a tendency towards a decline among urban residents in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020 (APC=-1.19%, t=-3.655, P=0.003), and was 112.46/105 and showed no remarkable changes among rural residents in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020 (t=-0.719, P=0.485). In addition, the crude mortality of cerebrovascular diseases appeared a tendency towards a rise with age among residents in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020 (χ2trend=502 711.682, P<0.001), and the crude mortality of cerebrovascular diseases appeared a tendency towards a decline among residents at ages of 35 years and above in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020 (P<0.05). @*Conclusions@#The cerebrovascular disease mortality appeared a tendency towards a decline among residents in Hangzhou City from 2006 to 2020, and a high mortality rate of cerebrovascular diseases was seen among rural residents, men and the elderly.
