    Abstract : This thesis, based on studies conducted in Örebro, the main municipality of Örebro County in Sweden, sought: 1) to determine the incidence rate and case fatality of first-ever stroke in a well-defined population; 2) to show the effects of selection bias on the frequency of different stroke characteristics; 3) to establish the incidence of neglect and anosognosia and their impact on disability; 4) to show the impact of pre-stroke risk factors on stroke severity and case fatality; and 5) to show the influence of stroke severity and other risk factor on one year mortality, on dependency after one year and on the risk of recurrent stroke.
