Epidemiology of acute cerebrovascular disease before the age of 55 in the Stockholm County 1973-77: I. Incidence and mortality rates.
The incidence and mortality rates of cerebrovascular disease (CVD) before age 55 were estimated for the Stockholm county between 1973 and 1977 using community based diagnosis and death statistics registers. Annual validation procedures concluded that less than 5% of hospitalized patients may have es...
