Associated Factors of Long-Term Functional Outcome and Recovery Pattern After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Prospective Population-Based Study in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.

Background: Long-term patterns of functional outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) have not been well elucidated in population-based studies from low- and middle-income countries. The aim of this study was to define long-term functional outcomes, associated prognostic factors, and recovery patterns for patients with acute ICH.

Methods: We conducted a prospective population-based stroke incidence study in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, with prospective follow-up.

Incidence and outcomes for stroke in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, during 2019-21: a prospective population-based study.

Background: In the absence of reliable data to quantify the burden of stroke, we aimed to determine the incidence and outcome of stroke through the conduct of a prospective population-based study in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, during 2019-21.

Methods: All cases of stroke were identified through surveillance of multiple overlapping sources of hospitalised, ambulatory, and deceased individuals, using standardised diagnostic criteria in adult (aged ≥16 years) residents of the six urban districts of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (population person-years, N=1 896 965) between Jan 1, 2019, and Dec 31, 2020. Data on sociodemography, medical history, and management were collected.
