Sažetak
Osijek-Baranja County is region of Eastern Croatia with high incidence of stroke. The most of the hospitalised patients with this disease are coming on medical treatment to the Department of Neurology, University Hospital Osijek. On the base of medical records and protocols the authors have analysed the epidemiological peculiarities of hemorrhagic stroke (CH) during an eleven-years� period (1988-1998). In this period (1988-1998) 958 HS were registered and treated. A constant increase in the incidence of HS was observed, from 60 (in 1988) to 139 (in 1998), with an average annual proportion of 16.7% of all stroke cases. A sharp increase in proportion of CH in total stroke incidence was recorded during the war in Croatia (1991-1995), with a peak incidence of 27.6% in 1993. Typical hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) was the most common (56.9%), atypical ICH occurred in 26.4%, subarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH) in 16.7%. Analysis of the annual number of hypertensive-ICH and SAH disclosed peculiar rising and falling oscillations. These variations were in correlation with heavy living conditions. During the war-period the SAH incidence sharply rose. Immediately after the war it suddenly decreased: The authors named this phenomenon a � pool depletion� , supposing the relatively stable proportion of the bearers of aneurysms in population. The observed variations seem to be the consequence of the war stress and other negative psychosocial and economic factors in post-war period, which increases the risk for SAH and typical hypertensive-ICH through complex pathophysiological mechanisms.
