  Acute Stroke  Mortality GRAPH   BACK to List of IndicatorsD        R        A        F        T

   A stroke is a disruption in the blood supply to the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel bringing oxygen and nutrients to the brain bursts, or is clogged by a blood clot or some other particle. Because of this rupture or blockage, part of the brain doesn't get the flow of blood it needs, and the nerve cells in the affected area of the brain cannot function. When nerve cells cannot function, neither can the part of the body they control. The effects of stroke often are permanent because dead brain cells are not replaced. Mortality rates will vary based on the cause of the stroke, the severity of the stroke, other patient illnesses and speed of arrival at the hospital. Some advanced treatments may be helpful only in the first few minutes or hours following the onset of the stroke, and administrative data do not provide this information.
