Abstract

[...]it is important to know a set of variables that reveal: the risk factors for the occurrence of a cerebrovascular event(10-12); the social, economic and demographic characteristics that can influence the early recognition of the event(13); the immediate actions of the victims and people around them in face of its manifestation; and access to treatment. [...]benefits are also greater when the appropriate therapeutic management starts early, which includes etiological investigation, early rehabilitation and clinical stability, prescription of appropriate drugs according to the etiology of stroke and hospitalization in stroke units(4,6). [...]it is equally necessary to know the access to reperfusion therapies in stroke and the specialized units capable of reducing disability and mortality™14™. Authors highlight the scarcity of epidemiological and health care studies on this event in Latin American countries, such as Brazil. [...]research on prevention, incidence, prevalence, results, acute treatment and rehabilitation is recommended, with emphasis on those aimed at improving prevention and prognosis™. Other studies carried out in the state of Bahia with people who suffered strokes are relevant, but they focused their investigations on potential predictors for community integration after the event(16), on the validation of a hospital mobility scale(18) and on the proposal of a new predictive scale of falls for people who have suffered a stroke(19). [...]there are few records on the sociodemographic and clinical variables in people with CVA in the state, and these variables may have specificities due to the culture, income level and education of the population, race/color and characteristics of the pre-hospital and in-hospital care network™.
