Abstract

Background: According to the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), cerebrovascular diseases are the second leading cause of death in the world. This is a cross-sectional study on deaths due to cerebrovascular diseases in southern Iran.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, data on all deaths caused by cerebrovascular diseases in the Fars province between 2004 and 2019 was extracted from the Electronic Death Registry System (EDRS). To eliminate or minimize the influence of age composition, standardized mortality rate was used based on the 2013 Segi standard populations of low- and middle-income countries. In order to measure the years of life lost (YLL) from cerebrovascular diseases, the standardized life table was considered. The Joinpoint Regression method was used to examine the trend of the crude and standardized mortality rate and the YLL rate.

Results: Over the study period, 24,051 deaths occurred due to cerebrovascular diseases in Fars with 12,586 cases in men (52.3%). The trend of standardized mortality rate in males and females was decreasing ( value=0.001 and<0.001 for males and females, respectively). All YLL due to premature mortality from cerebrovascular disease during the 16-year study period were 119,436 (3.8 per 1000 persons) in men, and 111,172 (3.6 per 1000 persons) in women. Based on the joinpoint regression, the 16-year trend of YLL rate due to premature death was decreasing: annual percent change (APC) was -1.6% (95% CI -3.4 to 0.3, =0.098) for males, and -2.0% (95% CI -3.6 to -0.4, =0.017) for females.

Conclusion: The trend of mortality rate and YLL caused by cerebrovascular diseases has decreased in our study. Necessary measures, mainly primary and secondary prevention, should be taken to continue the diminishing trend of cerebrovascular diseases.
