Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of patients with stroke death in Brazil and to analyze the temporal trend of stroke mortality according to geographic region. Methods: A descriptive observational time series study with secondary data obtained from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), referring to the period between 2007 and 2016. Categories I60-I69 of the International Classification of Diseases, 10th edition (ICD-10), were used. It was not necessary the submission of the project to a Research Ethics Committee. Results: In the period analyzed, there were 998,529 stroke deaths in Brazil, of which 50.3% were male, 51.2% white, 35.9% aged 80 years or older, 37.2% married and 46.8% with education equal to or less than 3 years of schooling. There was a tendency of mortality reduction in the country, (β = -0.262), being strongly associated with time (r = 0.861) and statistically significant (p = 0.001). The southeastern and southern regions showed the highest mortality reduction trends (β = -0.519 and -0.461, respectively). Conclusions: Deaths from stroke occurred predominantly in male, white, older adults, married and with low education. The reduction in mortality from stroke occurred unevenly in the country, so that the regions with the best socioeconomic conditions, southeast and south, had the greatest downward trends.
