Ischemic Stroke Outcomes in Oman: Experience of a University Hospital Based Stroke Registry (P6.278)

Conclusions:Ischemic stroke in Oman reflects the high morbidity/mortality seen in most communities in the region. Characteristics of incident stroke such as stroke recurrence, type, severity and cardiovascular comorbidity are likely the major determinants of stroke outcome. A relatively lower prevalence of extracranial artery disease and possible greater prevalence of multiple stroke mechanisms may also influence on outcomes and merit further study.Disclosure: Dr. Gujjar has nothing to disclose.
