Socio-Demographic factors and risk factors related to ischemic stroke subtypes and outcomes in a tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka

Abstract

Stroke is a heterogeneous, catastrophic disease. An in-depth clinical analysis of ischemic stroke(IS) risk factors and outcome is crucial for optimum management in resource-poor settings. The current study aimed to describe the acute-cerebrovascular-disease(ACVD) subtypes and subtype-categories with risk factors, severity, and outcomes.
