Does the multisectoral CARDIO4Cities initiative reduce stroke-related hospitalizations and mortality in urban populations in Brazil and Senegal?
Population-level interventions to improve hypertension management can rapidly translate into reduced stroke-related hospitalizations and mortality.
p-value: p=<0.05
BACKGROUND: Stroke is one of the major causes of death worldwide, mainly in low- and middle-income countries. The implementation of multifaceted strategies aiming at blood pressure control may change the global burden of stroke. METHODS AND RESULTS: <0.05). The COVID-19 situation did not change this dynamic. CONCLUSION: The implementation of the multisectoral CARDIO4Cities initiative correlated with positive trends in stroke outcomes. Interventions to reduce cardiovascular risk and improve hypertension management at population level appear to rapidly translate into reduced stroke-related hospitalizations and mortality.
Ferrer et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in Hypertension and stroke. CARDIO4Cities initiative was evaluated on Stroke-related hospitalizations and mortality (p=<0.05). The multisectoral CARDIO4Cities initiative correlated with positive trends in stroke outcomes, rapidly translating into reduced stroke-related hospitalizations and mortality (P<0.05).
