Sex-Specific Differences in Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes in Acute Stroke Patients from Qatar

Abstract: Background: Sex differences may determine presentation, utility of treatment, rehabilitation, and occurrences of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in acute stroke (AS). Objective:The purpose of the study was to evaluate the short-term prognosis and long-term outcomes in MACEs in Qatari nationals admitted with AS. Methods: All AS patients admitted between January 2014 and February 2019 were included. We evaluated the preadmission modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, etiology and severity of symptoms, co… Show more

“…However, during long-term follow-up, men tend to have higher MACE, especially in the presence of previous coronary artery disease. 11 The primary objective of the present research is to evaluate the short-term and long-term prognosis of AS and stroke mimic patients in an ethnically distinct Arab population in Qatar. We investigated the outcomes in patients who had an acute IS in the presence and absence of previous CVD and similarly in SM with and without previous CVD.…”

In brief, HGH is a Joint Commission International accredited 600-bed hospital, where ~95% of all strokes in Qatar requiring hospitalization are admitted.…”
