- Almost two thirds of acute stroke patients fail to survive more than a decade. Researchers analyzed data from more than 300,000 patients admitted to the hospital following a sudden stroke between 2008 & 2017 & found that Only 36.4% of patients survived beyond 10 years, and 26.8% had another stroke. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.038155 49 comments science
