Talk:Stroke

The average survival rate
The average survival rate figure states that the survival after a stroke is only one year, but this is dated from 2008, 16 years ago. Even then, stroke survival rates depend on many factors- where in the brain it occurred, age, history of previous stroke or TIA or cardiovascular/neurovascular disease or other serious condition (especially kidney or liver disease), how long before EMTs arrived or until arrival at ER, and whether the patient was treated quickly in a hospital, ideally a large level I trauma center with a stroke center. It's likely not 1% anymore.

Wrong noun
The stroke emergency words should be changed to emergency medicine in the specialty section i guess.2404:8000:1027:85F6:A140:91BB:6B11:B462 (talk) 11:35, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Stroke and the opening declarative statement
Stroke is a very loose term clinically.

NOT all stroke events are actually caused by underlying disease states -

Consider trauma, spontaneous dissections, idiopathy etc. Perhaps semantics - but being so strident at the get go - not sure - think it was fine tbh.

 * I agree. If notable, any medical conditions similar to stroke or containing the term "stroke", should be created as standalone articles, and then mentioned in stroke (disambiguation). &mdash; CrafterNova  [ TALK ] [ CONT ] 14:05, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
