SHORT-TERM IMPLEMENTATION

Health status indicators

MORTALITY

Mortality rate:  annual deaths from ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage, unspecified stroke per 100,000 population. ICD codes: occlusion, stenosis and thrombosis of cerebral arteries (ICD-9 434; ICD-10 I66, I63); subarachnoid haemorrhage (ICD-9 430, ICD-10 I60); intracerebral haemorrhage (ICD-9 431, 432, ICD-10 I61, I62); unspecified stroke (ICD-9 436-437; ICD-10 I64, I67, I68)

MORBIDITY

Hospital discharge rate: annual hospitalisations for ischaemic stroke, subarachnoid haemorrhage, intracerebral haemorrhage, unspecified stroke per 100,000 population. ICD codes: occlusion, stenosis and thrombosis of cerebral arteries (ICD-9 434; ICD-10 I66, I63); subarachnoid haemorrhage (ICD-9 430, ICD-10 I60); intracerebral haemorrhage (ICD-9 431, 432, ICD-10 I61 I62); unspecified acute stroke (ICD-9 436; ICD-10 I64)

Attack rate/incidence rate: annual stroke events (first and recurrent) per 100,000 population. ICD codes: fatal and non-fatal (ICD-9 430-438 ; ICD-10 I60-I69, G45)

7-day case-fatality rate: the proportion of ischemic and hemorrhagic (subarachnoidal and intracerebral) stroke events that are fatal within 7 days from the onset. ICD codes: fatal and non-fatal (ICD-9 430-438 ; ICD-10 I60-I69, G45)

Health system indicators

HEALTH CARE UTILISATION

Brain imaging per population: number of CT-scans (Computerized axial Tomography of head) and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging of brain and brainstem) per 100,000 population. ICD codes: CT-scan (ICD-9-CM 87.03) ; MRI (ICD-9CM 88.91)

Median length of stay for cerebrovascular diseases: median number of days spent in hospital per patient. ICD codes: ICD-9 430-438 ; ICD-10 I60-I69, G45
