In-hospital survival and predictors of mortality among stroke patients at a tertiary hospital in Ghana: A retrospective cohort study

Female stroke patients experienced higher mortality and lower survival compared to males. The identified mortality predictors underscore the importance of focused interventions to enhance survival outcomes at TTH. Given the retrospective design and possible unmeasured confounders, the lower mortality risk among diabetic patients should be interpreted with caution, and prospective studies are warranted to confirm these associations.

Abstract

Female stroke patients experienced higher mortality and lower survival compared to males. The identified mortality predictors underscore the importance of focused interventions to enhance survival outcomes at TTH. Given the retrospective design and possible unmeasured confounders, the lower mortality risk among diabetic patients should be interpreted with caution, and prospective studies are warranted to confirm these associations.
