Mortality Data Related to a Stroke

  • Audiology in the News

Audiologists may encounter patients who have either had a stroke or are at risk for one. Unfortunately, not all individuals who experience a stroke survive. 

Curtin (2024), using mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics, explored the rate of death from stroke over the time period of 2002 to 2022 among those aged 45 to 64 years. The death rate from stroke declined from 2002 to 2012, but then increased through 2021. In 2021, the death rate reached a high of 24.4 per 100,000 individuals. The rate declined significantly in 2022 to 23.9 per 100,000 individuals.

Curtin (2024) explored the relationship between stroke death rate and sex. Analyses were also conducted to examine stroke death rate by sex and geographic region of the country (i.e., South, Midwest, West, and Northeast) for that same time period, and by race and ethnicity for men and women by region of the country for 2022.
