Regional Burden and Region-Specific Stroke Risk Factors in Lower and Middle-Income Countries
In this chapter, we outline the trends in incidence, prevalence, and the burden of stroke in developing countries (lower- and middle-income countries—LMICs) over recent decades. We highlight the changes in risk factors and types of stroke (ischemic vs. hemorrhagic) in LMICs, comparing them to high-income countries (HIC). We will also use statistics from specific countries as case examples. The lack of resources and its impact on stroke management will be discussed. The authors include stroke physicians who are part of the World Stroke Organization Future Leaders Program and have carried out quality improvement projects in Sub-Saharan Africa, among other initiatives.
