Prevalence of stroke symptoms among stroke‐free residents: first national data from Lebanon

ConclusionsThis is the first study conducted in the Middle East, assessing self‐reported stroke symptoms among stroke‐free residents. Our study showed that almost one in eight residents without a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack has had stroke symptoms. Major vascular risk factors are associated with these symptoms, thus allowing for prevention strategies.
