Excerpt
Trends in stroke have shown a decline over the last few decades but stroke remains a very common and important cause of mortality and morbidity. The situation is in particular unfavourable in central and eastern European countries where mortality rates are about twice as high as in western European countries and these rates have increasing trends. There is no doubt that primary prevention has clear importance for reducing the burden of disease due to stroke. Therefore strengthening of preventive activities will remain a cornerstone in the further reduction of cerebrovascular mortality. However, there is compelling evidence that better stroke management and rehabilitation can reduce mortality and morbidity as well. In order to achieve better standards in stroke care in Europe a meeting on stroke management and rehabilitation was organized by the WHO Regional Office for Europe. The function of this meeting was to share knowledge about the best ways of managing acute care, secondary prevention and rehabilitation. Dr Asplund was elected as chairman of the meeting and Professor Ebrahim as rapporteur.
