Sex Differences in Clinical Presentation of Women and Men Evaluated at a Comprehensive Stroke Center for Suspected Stroke
Although clinical presentation was similar in both sexes, cortical and nonfocal symptoms were more common among women with suspected stroke. Awareness of sex differences and acknowledgment of the full clinical picture are important to ensure optimal management for women and men with suspected stroke. Our findings might serve as a target for educational programs in order to improve preclinical stroke detection in patients with predominantly nonfocal or subtle symptoms.
