Our analysis from Hospital Based Stroke Registries from India is published in @IntJStroke . https://t.co/OCwAY61YU0
Key findings (n=34,792):
• Young stroke burden (13.8%)
• Major delays in hospital arrival
• Underuse of reperfusion therapies
• High 3-month mortality (27.8%)

Our latest analysis from the @icmrnine Hospital-Based Stroke Registry shows that Cerebral Venous Thrombosis frequently affects younger individuals in India. Control of risk factors and recognizing warning signs early can save lives. @WorldStrokeOrg @strokeindian

🇮🇳📋Study of stroke using hospital based registries in India

Of 34,792 stroke patients:
👉13.8% were young stroke
🕐20.1% arrived within 4.5hrs of symptom onset
🗓️At 3-months over half had poor functional outcomes

🚨 Time is Brain — but many patients arrive too late.

⏱ Only 20% reached hospital within 4.5 hours
⏳ 38% arrived after 24 hours
Delayed arrival was the main reason for not receiving Thrombolysis (clot-busting treatment).

Awareness saves lives.

⚡ Stroke is not just a disease of the elderly.

🔹 13.8% of patients were <45 years
🔹 Mean age: 59 years
🔹 72% patients were from rural areas
India faces a growing burden of young stroke.

#ISC2026
🌎ISC delivered fewer “home runs” and more hard truths: what works, what doesn’t, and where selection matters most in stroke care
From extended-window thrombolysis to FXIa inhibition, #ISC26 highlights where stroke care is truly moving — and where it isn’t.

#WATCH | Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya says, "...We've seen the rise of strokes and it is good that the ICMR has done detailed research on it. Research suggests that the reason for stroke is- if you are an alcoholic or consume tobacco. The risk is high...Every individual should care about their health..."
