Epidemiological studies have quantified the seriousness of stroke. Its incidence averages 179 per 100 000 per year worldwide with a prevalence of 500-600 per 100 000. Eight to 20% of its victims die in the first 30 days.' Early recurrence adds to the neurological deficit and lengthens hospital stay. Late recur- rence affects 4%-14% per year and five year survival averages only 56% for men, 64% for women.2 Overall, recurrence contributes to the $16 billion in health care costs and lost productivity seen annually in the USA alone.3

Marshall et al. (1993) conducted a review in Ischaemic stroke. Management of ischaemic stroke was evaluated. Ischaemic stroke carries a substantial global burden, with an incidence of 179 per 100,000 per year, high early mortality, and 5-year survival rates averaging only 56% for men and 64% for women.
