Factors associated with stroke recurrence and mortality in ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke: Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis
Recurrent strokes are associated with greater mortality and poorer functional prognosis than first-time events, imposing greater economic burden on healthcare services. This review will identify factors that increase one's risk for recurrence, thereby informing the development and refinement of clinical guidance for secondary stroke prevention; a key priority for both those living with stroke and the wider health service.
