Use of Outpatient Rehabilitation Among Adult Stroke Survivors - 20 States and the District of Columbia, 2013, and Four States, 2015.
Abstract Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and disability in the United States (1,2). Approximately 800,000 American adults experience a stroke each year (2,3).

Level of awareness regarding stroke among Riyadh population
CONCLUSION: This study found that the majority of participants had a high level of awareness regarding stroke.
