Evaluation of stroke in pregnant and non-pregnant women of reproductive years: A multicenter ambispective cohort study in a low- to middle-income country.

Our findings show that stroke is prevalent among reproductive-year women, posing a significant mortality risk if not adequately recognized and treated. Awareness, research, and screening of stroke risk factors and their often-overlooked early presentation (i.e., headache and weakness) in reproductive years are essential to reducing stroke occurrence among reproductive-year women.
