↵4-150 The ICD-9 code for stroke is often “unspecified”, therefore we have estimated the proportion of deaths that are of haemorrhagic origin using proportions form the Oxford Stroke Study (Bamford J et al. A prospective study of acute cerebrovascular disease in the community: the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project 1981–1986. J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 1990;53:16–22).
