    • Ischemic stroke in a general population: Time trends in incidence, case fatality and the impact of risk factors. 

      Vangen-Lønne, Anne Merete (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2017-10-13)
      About 80-85% of all strokes are due to reduced blood flow to the brain (ischemic strokes). Lack of knowledge regarding time trends in incidence and case fatality of ischemic stroke in Norway represented a main motivation for this study. Data from the Tromsø Study, following >40,000 attendees from six surveys through 2012, provided an excellent opportunity to reveal time trends of ischemic stroke and ...
    • Temporal trends in incidence and case fatality of intracerebral hemorrhage. The Tromsø Study 1995-2012

      <p>Background: The aim of this study was to explore temporal trends in incidence and case fatality rates of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) over the last two decades in a Norwegian municipality. <p>Methods: Incident cases of primary ICH were registered in the period from 1995 through 2012 in 32,530 par ticipants of the longitudinal population-based Tromsø Study. Poisson regression models were used ...
