How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: According to the official statistics of the Ministry of Health, 40 thousand cases of stroke are registered annually in Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, the study of issues of organization of medical care in the admission of patients with stroke to hospitals in Kazakhstan remains relevant and requires a number of decisions to improve care. AIM: The aim of the study was to study the prevalence of stroke among the population of Kazakhstan and the organization of medical care in hospitals for the years 2018–2020. METHODS: The data were obtained from the Information System “Electronic Register of Dispensary Patients.” More than 60.0% of patients diagnosed with cerebral infarction caused by cerebral artery thrombosis were admitted to the hospital. RESULTS: The availability of medical care for stroke is of great importance. As the analysis of survival rate showed, the average survival time directly depends on the patient’s condition at admission to hospitals. The survival rate of patients with various nosologies of cerebral circulation in men and women differs significantly and reaches 80 years. CONCLUSION: The correct organization of the management of medical care for patients with acute circulatory disorders is of paramount importance. It is necessary to strengthen the integration and coordination of the systems of emergency care and primary health care.
