Abstract
We previously published rates of pediatric stroke using our population-based Greater Cincinnati Northern Kentucky Stroke Study (GCNK) for periods July 1993-June 1994 and 1999. We report population-based rates from 2 additional study periods: 2005 and 2010. We identified all pediatric strokes for residents of the GCNK region that occurred in July 1, 1993-June 30, 1994, and calendar years 1999, 2005, and 2010. Stroke cases were ascertained by screening discharge ICD-9 codes, and verified by a physician. Pediatric stroke was defined as stroke in those <20 years of age. Stroke rates by study period, overall, by age and by race, were calculated. Eleven children died within 30 days, yielding an all-cause case fatality rate of 15.7% (95% confidence interval 1.1%, 26.4%) with 3 (27.3%) ischemic, 6 (54.5%) hemorrhagic, and 2 (18.2%) unknown stroke type. The pediatric stroke rate of 4.4 per 100 000 in the GCNK study region has not changed over 17 years.Entities:
