Medium-term Survival Following of Stroke in Yaound é (Cameroon): a prospective observational cohort study
With 5.7 million deaths per year, stroke is the second cause of mortality worldwide, and 70% of these deaths occur in developing countries especially in relation to inappropriate clinical pathways and resources. The aim of our study was to assess the survival rate of stroke patients within 90 days and to identify its determinants.

Management of blood pressure in acute stroke: Comparison of current prescribing patterns with AHA/ASA guidelines in a Sub-Saharan African referral hospital
High blood pressure (HBP) is common at acute phase of stroke. It may reflect untreated or uncontrolled hypertension before stroke, or it may relate to stress response. The present study was designed to compare current American Stroke Association (ASA) guidelines with actual prescribing patterns for management of HBP at the acute phase of stroke, in a tertiary care Hospital in Douala, Cameroon.
