Acute cerebral stroke is a disease that ranks among the leading causes of today's “non-infectious” epidemic, becoming a significant economic burden for global economies. The aim of the study was to investigate the dynamics of disability rates due to acute cerebral stroke and their features among the adult and working-age population in Ukraine under conditions of martial law. This work is fragment of the DSMU research project “Improvement of scientific and methodological approaches to determining the criteria for identifying signs of permanent disability, optimization of rehabilitation programs for patients and persons with disabilities”, No. 0124U005028, 2025-2028. Medical and social cases and referrals for medical and social examination (Form 088/o) of patients who were diagnosed with disability for the first time during the period of 2014-2024 were analyzed in accordance with ICD-10 codes: stroke (I 60 I 64), hemorrhagic stroke (I 60, I 61, I 62), ischemic stroke (I 63, I 64), and consequences of stroke (I 69). Statistical processing was performed using parametric and nonparametric statistical methods implemented in the STATISTICA 6.1 software package (StatSoftInc., serial number AGAR909E415822FA).The results of the study conducted over the last decade from 2013 to 2024 in Ukraine determined the dynamics of primary disability rates due to acute cerebral stroke. Among the adult and working-age population during 2011-2019, a stable dynamic of the indicator was found, which averaged 1.67 per 10,000 people, with a minimum level in 2020 – 1.3 and 1.7 per 10,000 people, respectively. The conclusions of the study are the identified characteristics of primary disability rates due to acute cerebral stroke ubder conditions of martial law. In 2022-2024, an increase in this indicator among both the adult and working-age population was identified, being approximately twice as compared to pre-war indicators.
