Hospitalizations due to stroke and their relationship with Chagas disease: a population-based analytical study using data from the Hospital Information System of the Brazilian National Health System, Minas Gerais, Brazil, 2022
Although there was a high number of stroke-related hospitalizations in the Brazilian National Health System in Minas Gerais, only 18 of these records were associated with Chagas disease/sentinels, which may suggest underreporting of Chagas disease and uncertainty regarding the quality of such records.
