Abstract
Stroke is the third largest single cause of death in Chile, responsible for 7.3% of all deaths in 2019. Large declines in stroke mortality rates in most Latin American countries in recent decades have been reported. To analyze the trend in stroke mortality in Chile between 1980 and 2015. We extracted data for age-standardized death rate (ASDR) stroke mortality per 100,000 inhabitants in Chile for the period 1980-2015from the WHO Mortality Database. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to analyze the trend and compute the average annual percent change (AAPC) by gender in Chile. The ASDR from stroke decreased from 92.8 per 100,000 in 1980 to 34.4 per 100,000 in 2015. The AAPC was -2.8% (-3.5, -2.1), with two jointpoints, 2008 and 2012. By gender, the AAPC was -2.4% and -2.9% in men and women, respectively. Stroke mortality rate decreased significantly between 1980 and 2015 in Chile, mainly in women.

mortalidad por enfermedades cerebrovasculares en Chile - Á
La tasa de mortalidad por enfermedades cerebrovasculares (ECV) en Chile ha disminuido significativamente entre 1980 y 2015, en ambos sexos, principalmente en mujeres, lo que podría ser explicado por la reducción de la letalidad de las ECV en Chile en las últimas dos décadas
Summary
Stroke is the third largest single cause of death in Chile, responsible for 7.3% of all deaths in 2019. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la tendencia de la mortalidad por ECV en Chile en el período 1980-2015. Se obtuvieron las TMEE por 100.000 habitantes en Chile entre los años 1980 y 2015, desde la Base de Datos de Mortalidad de la Organización Mundial de la Salud[5].
