Adjusted risk of death within 30 days was significantly higher in women than men, and this difference increased over the 20-year period (adjusted OR in 55 to 64 year olds 1.51, 95% CI 1.39 to 1.63 in 2005).

Overview

Higher 30-day mortality in women after stroke warrants vigilance; leaves open whether sex-specific strategies can narrow the widening gap.

Structured PICO

While younger women have lower stroke incidence and mortality than men, short-term case-fatality is higher in women of all ages and this disparity has worsened over time.
