Trends and Projections in Hemorrhagic Stroke‐Related Mortality in the United States: A 1968–2030 CDC WONDER Analysis

Key Points

The aim is to evaluate mortality trends related to hemorrhagic stroke in the U.S. from 1968 to 2030, particularly focusing on disparities.
Analysis of CDC WONDER data covering hemorrhagic stroke mortality
Examination of disparities by sex, race, and geography
Projection of future mortality trends until 2030
Overall mortality from hemorrhagic stroke has decreased due to better hypertension management.
Significant disparities in mortality exist by sex, race, and geography.
Projected trends indicate that these disparities will likely persist or worsen.

Abstract

While hemorrhagic stroke mortality has fallen due to hypertension control, substantial disparities by sex, race, and geography persist and are projected to continue. Current interventions may be reaching diminishing returns, emphasizing the need for targeted, equity-focused strategies addressing structural drivers of inequity and the rising impact of an aging population.
