Sex differences in mortality and functional outcomes across stroke subtype: A nationwide cohort study
In this national cohort, sex disparities in stroke outcomes differed by subtype. Despite lower adjusted mortality in females, functional outcomes were not uniformly better. These findings underscore the importance of adopting sex- and subtype-specific approaches to stroke care, secondary prevention, and rehabilitation.
