Hi, Crystal!
What a pleasure to have someone who answers clarifications in such a
timely fashion and is so willing to work with the researchers here at
GA!!
I hope the following statistics prove helpful for you! Some of them
may overlap but I wanted to make the actual statistics easy to access.
==
The American Heart Association has compiled some extensive statistics
on Stroke, updated for 2004.
"Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics - Update 2004." AHA

From "New stats show heart disease still America's No. 1 killer,
stroke No. 3." AHA Journal Report. 01/01/2004
http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3018015
"Stroke is the third leading cause of death among Americans. Each
year, about 700,000 people experience a new or recurrent stroke. **
About 500,000 of these are first attacks, and 200,000 are recurrent.
Stroke accounted for more than one of every 15 deaths in the country
in 2001"

Highlights from the US Stroke Statistics from the Internet Stroke Center
http://www.strokecenter.org/pat/stats.htm
* At all ages, 40,000 more women than men have a stroke.
* 28% of people who suffer a stroke in a given year are under age 65.
* Compared with whites, young African Americans have a two- to threefold
greater risk of ischemic stroke, and African-American men and women are more
likely to die of stroke.
* About 47 percent of stroke deaths occur out of hospital.
* About 4.7 million stroke survivors (2.3 million men, 2.4 million women) are
alive today.
* The estimated age-adjusted prevalence of stroke for Americans aged 20 years
and older is 2.2% for non-Hispanic white men and 1.5% for women; for non-
Hispanic blacks, 2.5% for men and 3.2% for women; and for Mexican Americans,
2.3% for men and 1.3% for women (NHANES III, 1988-1994).
* Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disability in the United
States.
* 7.6% of ischemic strokes and 37.5% of hemorrhagic strokes result in death
within 30 days.
* 8% of men and 11% of women will have a stroke within six (6) years after a
heart attack.
* 14% of people who have a stroke or TIA will have another within a year.
* 22% of men and 25% of women who have an initial stroke die within a year.

Statistical Reports from the Centers for Disease Control:
"Atlas of Stroke Mortality: Racial, Ethnic and Geographic Disparities
in the United States."
http://www.cdc.gov/cvh/maps/strokeatlas/atlas_download.htm
"The third in a series of CDC atlases related to cardiovascular
disease, which have been published through a collaboration between
CDC, West Virginia University, and the University of South Florida.
This Atlas provides, for the first time, an extensive series of
national and state maps that show local disparities in stroke death
rates for the five largest racial and ethnic groups in the United
States (i.e., American Indians and Alaska Natives, Asians and Pacific
Islanders, blacks, Hispanics, and whites)."

The National Center for Health Statistics has compiled some FasStats
concerning Stroke/Cerebrovascular Disease. You may want to look up the
individual reports, but the list of relevant statistics may prove to
be just as useful.

International Statistics including Europe (Updated for 2004)
============================================================
Statistics regarding stroke deaths per year in individual countries
have been compiled by the World Health Organization. You can see
stroke statistics broken down for males and females ages 35-74.

HeartStats.org has compiled a series of reports on their website that
relate to stroke deaths in Europe. Most of the reports are in
powerpoint or Excel so you will need to go to the website and download
the reports of interest

Hi, Crystal!
Recent comprehensive stroke statistics for European countries are
scarce. I don't think you will find anything more comprehensive than
the following article, which I did not initially include because I
thought the data might not be recent enough for your needs. The
article makes mention of the fact that recent (and future) statistics
are not to be expected any time soon.
"Acute Neurological Stroke Care in Europe; results of the European
Stroke Care Inventory." European Journal of Neurology (2000)
http://www.efns.org/guidelines/gl_16.pdf
** This article DOES contain stroke statistics by country, (including
patients treated per year, mortality, not hospitalized, recurrent
strokes, hemorrhagic strokes, etc)
** Please see "Table 1: Clinical epidemiology of stroke in Europe."
(I am not sure exactly what year the actual data was collected, but it
is considered the most recent as of the article's published date)
==
Unfortunately, the article I provided in my initial answer -
"International Cardiovascular Disease Statistics" - lumps stroke
statistics under Cardiovascular disease, which doesn't help you much.
However, there is hospital discharge data as well as statistics for
the number of strokes per year.
* The average rates of hospital discharges in the European Union were:
* For Stroke - 356,000
* CVD is the leading cause of death in Europe (accounting for 4
million deaths each year, of which
* nearly one-third are from stroke
"International Cardiovascular Disease Statistics"
http://www.americanheart.org/downloadable/heart/1077185395308FS06INT4(ebook).pdf
==
From another article I provided initially:
"About 100,000 people in the UK suffer a *first stroke* each
year...around 300,000 people in England and Wales are currently living
with the effects of a stroke."
http://www.nmc-uk.org/nmc/main/news/expertsCallForBetterStrokeCare.html
==
Unfortunately, this is really the only European data that is even
slightly comprehensive in nature. Any other articles I found were
simply small studies based on localized populations.
I hope the results published by the European Stroke Care Inventory
can be used for your presentation, as they are likely the most
comprehensive statistics that currently exist.
