Methods— We identified all first-ever strokes between November 2000 and July 2003 in a defined population of 51 246 residents in the Sanzona suburb of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, using overlapping sources of information and standard diagnostic criteria. Results— A total of 233 first-ever strokes occurred during the study period. The crude annual incidence rate was 165 (95% CI, 145 to 188) per 100 000 residents. The corresponding rate adjusted to the standard “world” population was 103 (95% CI, 89 to 117). In terms of stroke subtype, the crude annual incidence rate per 100 000 inhabitants was 89 (95% CI, 74 to 106) for ischemic stroke, 44 (95% CI, 34 to 57) for intracerebral hemorrhage, 16 (95% CI, ...
