Projected stroke volumes to provide a 10-year direction for New Zealand stroke services
Aim
Stroke incidence and mortality are declining due to effective public health initatives and modern healthcare advances. However, due to population growth and ageing, the burden of stroke continues to rise worldwide. This paper aims to provide stroke volume projections for the next 1-2 decades and explores potential solutions to anticipated challenges.
