Cost of stroke in low and middle income countries: a systematic review
ConclusionCosts of stroke are variable because of heterogeneous healthcare systems prevailing in low and middle‐income countries. Length of hospital stay and stroke severity appear to be the main predictors of cost. Understanding the costs of stroke in low and middle‐income countries is important. However, the evidence remains limited because there is a lack of standardized research. Future research should focus on using a uniform method across low and middle‐income countries for estimating the costs of stroke.

Childhood arterial ischemic stroke in Senegal (West Africa).
Abstract
Etiological factors of childhood ischemic stroke depend on the epidemiological context. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors, the clinical and radiologic features, and the outcome of arterial ischemic stroke in a case series of Senegalese children.
