Discussion

Ecological analysis reports increased stroke mortality rates in Maranhão, indicating urgent public health interventions are needed.

Stroke mortality increased significantly until 2008, then began to decrease through 2021, showing distinct trends over time.
The mortality rate rose from 36.28 to 52.92 per 100,000, with a 2.0% annual percentage variation, p < 0.001.
Analysis used ecological time-series data from DATASUS, focusing on temporal trends by sex and age group.
Impressive potential years of life lost amounted to 363,786 years, with younger age groups being crucial areas for intervention.

Abreu et al. (2025) studied this question.
