Clinical and pathogenetic approaches to early rehabilitation of ischaemic stroke patients

Abstract

Stroke is the most important medical and social problem, both worldwide and in Uzbekistan, owing to its high morbidity, mortality and disability rates. Uzbekistan's official statistical authorities consider cerebrovascular disease (CVD) to be a single nosological form, without distinguishing it from stroke. Given that the structure of CVDs includes both acute cerebrovascular disorders (ACS) (various types and subtypes of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke) and chronic CVDs (various forms of so-called dyscirculatory encephalopathy), reliable epidemiological data on stroke prevalence in Uzbekistan are not available. According to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Uzbekistan, there were 62876 cases of stroke in Uzbekistan in 2019. 15% were fatal, 10-15% relapsed and 55-70% became disabled.
