摘要
背景:在撒哈拉以南非洲地区和加纳,脑卒中被认为是一个重大的公共卫生问题,因为它会影响人们的生活质量。然而,加纳缺乏有关中风流行率和发病率的综合数据。更新这些信息将有助于决策机构了解减少加纳中风负担的措施。本系统综述旨在批判性地评估在加纳进行的研究中收集的有关加纳人口中风患病率和发病率的证据。方法:检索了四个数据库(CINAHL via EBSCOhost、Web of Science、MEDLINE via PubMed 和 PsycINFO via EBSCOhost)中 2000 年 5 月至 2020 年 5 月间发表的有关中风负担的文章。搜索仅限于在加纳进行的、以英语发表的、经过同行评审的研究。采用 Cochrane 偏倚风险工具评估证据质量。进行了 Meta 分析,以估算加纳的总中风患病率和发病率。结果:根据纳入标准,共审查了三项研究,这些研究记录了 1,197,498 名参与者中的 12,974 例中风病例。荟萃分析表明,按 95% 的置信区间计算,该国中风的全国总患病率和发病率分别为 7.96% 和 1.17%。结论根据综述结果,加纳或加纳人口的中风发病率和患病率都很高,而且还在不断上升。
A Systematic Review of the Burden of Stroke in Ghana.
Background: Stroke is considered a significant public health concern in sub-Saharan Africa and Ghana due to its impact on quality of life. However, there is a lack of comprehensive pooled data on the prevalence and incidence rates of stroke in Ghana. Updating this information would help inform decision-making bodies on measures to reduce the burden of stroke in Ghana. This systematic review is aimed at critically appraising evidence gathered from studies done in Ghana on the prevalence and incidence rates of stroke among the Ghanaian population. Method: Four databases (CINAHL via EBSCOhost, Web of Science, MEDLINE via PubMed, and PsycINFO via EBSCOhost) were searched, for articles published between May 2000 and May 2020 on stroke burden. The search was constrained to studies conducted in Ghana and published in English that have been peer reviewed. Cochrane risk of bias tool was used to assess the quality of evidence. Meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the pooled stroke prevalence and incidence in the country. Results: A total of three studies that documented 12,974 stroke cases in 1,197,498 participants based on the inclusion criteria were reviewed. The meta-analysis revealed that the overall national prevalence and incidence rate of stroke for the country were 7.96% and 1.17%, respectively, calculated at 95% confidence intervals. Conclusion: According to the review findings, the incidence and prevalence rates of stroke are high in Ghana or among the Ghanaian population, and they are increasing.
