Background:This study determined the current status of the incidence, management, and prognosis of stroke in Japan using a population-based stroke registry.Methods and Results:Shiga Stroke Registry is an ongoing population-based registry that covers approximately 1.4 million residents of Shiga Prefecture. Cases of acute stroke were identified using standard definitions through surveillance of both all acute-care hospitals with neurology/neurosurgery facilities and death certificates in 2011. A total of 2,956 stroke cases and 2,176 first-ever stroke cases were identified. The age- and sex-adjusted incidence rate for first-ever stroke using the 2013 European Standard Population as standard was per 100,000 person-years: 91.3 for ischemic stroke, 36.4 for intracerebral hemorrhage, and 13.7 for subarachnoid hemorrhage. It was estimated that approximately 220,000 new strokes occurred in 2011 in Japan. Among the 2,956 cases, most stroke patients underwent neuroimaging, 268 received surgical or endovascular treatment, and 2,158 had rehabilitation therapy; 78 patients received intravenous thrombolysis. A total of 1,846 stroke patients had died or were dependent at hospital discharge, and 390 died within 28 days of onset.Conclusions:Incidence rates of stroke by subtypes were clarified and the total number of new strokes in Japan was estimated. More than half of stroke patients die or become dependent after a stroke. This study re-emphasized the importance of public health measures in reducing the burden of stroke in Japan.

Background:Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and mortality in Japan. The aim of the present analysis was to determine the non-acute survival rate after first-ever stroke using data from a large-scale population-based stroke registry in Japan.Methods and Results:Shiga Stroke Registry is an ongoing population-based registry of stroke, which covers approximately 1.4 million residents of Shiga Prefecture in central Japan. A total of 2,176 first-ever stroke patients, who were registered in 2011, were followed up until December 2013. The 2-year cumulative survival rates were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method according to index stroke subtype. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess predictors of all-cause death. During a 2-year follow-up period, 663 patients (30.5%) died. The 2-year cumulative survival rate after first-ever stroke was 69.5%. There was heterogeneity in 2-year cumulative survival according to stroke subtype: lacunar infarction, 87.2%; large artery infarction, 76.1%; cardioembolic infarction, 55.4%; intracerebral hemorrhage, 65.9%; and subarachnoid hemorrhage, 56.7%. Older age, male sex, medical history, higher Japan coma scale score on admission, and stroke subtype were associated with risk of all-cause death in ≤2 years.Conclusions:In the present population-based stroke registry with a real-world setting in Japan, 2-year cumulative mortality after first-ever stroke is still high (>30%), particularly for cardioembolic infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage.

Background: To avoid lateral misplacement of midcervical pedicle screws, we developed a method for Minimally Invasive Cervical Pedicle Screw (MICEPS) fixation via a posterolateral approach. This intramuscular approach allows for horizontal pedicle screw insertion and reduced intraoperative bleeding. We reviewed our initial experience with MICEPS fixation for patients with cervical metastases.Methods: This study included 18 consecutive patients who received cervical spinal surgery for metastatic tumor. We treated 12 patients with conventional cervical pedicle screw fixation, and 6 patients with the MICEPS fixation technique. Average follow-up was 14 months (range 3 to 34). We inserted 117 pedicle screws using the navigation system. Average fusion area was 4.9 vertebrae (range 3 to 8). Alpha-angles between a line perpendicular to the posterior cortex of the vertebral body and the screw trajectory in the transverse plane were also measured.Results: The average surgical time was 250 min (range 151 to 420 min) with the conventional pedicle screw fixation and 234 min (range 154 to 300 min) with the MICEPS fixation. The average total blood loss was 780 mL (range, 180-1430 mL) in the conventional pedicle screw fixation group and 180 mL (range, 70-400 mL) in the MICEPS fixation group. At the level of midcervical (C3-5), average alpha-angles was 52 degrees (range 43 to 62) in MICEPS fixation group, and 39 degrees (range 19 to 55) in conventional cervical pedicle screw group.Conclusions: The MICEPS fixation technique uses an intramuscular approach, which is minimally invasive and reduces intraoperative bleeding. Intramuscular approach allows for horizontal pedicle screw insertion, and reduced critical screw deviation.
