Background: Egypt is a densely populated country with living habits and health care services that differ from urban to rural regions. We aimed to study how characteristics of stroke vary among these regions. Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study of ischemic stroke, thus hemorrhagic and venous strokes were excluded. A total of 1475 ischemic stroke patients were recruited for analysis from a tertiary hospital in Cairo representing urban area and from a secondary care hospital in Suhag representing rural region.
