TL;DR: These guidelines provide risk charts, Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), predicting the 10-year risk of fatal cardiovascular disease including stroke deaths in the 40–65-year age group at given levels of blood pressure and cholesterol in women and men, smokers and nonsmokers.

TL;DR: The incidence of thromboembolic complications and vascular mortality were significantly lower in the warfarin group than in the aspirin and placebo groups, which did not differ significantly.

TL;DR: Until better and more stroke studies are available, the WHO stroke estimates may provide the best data for understanding the stroke burden in countries where no stroke data currently exists.
