Abstract

Stroke or cerebrovascular Accident according to WHO is focal or global neurological deficit of vascular origin lasting more than twenty-four hours or resulting in death before twenty-four hours. Stroke is a health condition with global impact, causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Many economies of the world commit to combating this problem. Worldwide and especially in subsaharan Africa, the victims are mainly in the productive age ranges, leading to huge economic loss. Stroke is currently the second leading cause of death worldwide after Ischaemic heart disease. Most strokes are preceded by modifiable risk factors. Controlling these risk factors would reduce the occurrence, morbidity and mortality of stroke. And trend of socio-clinical demographics in stroke patients is not elucidated in the literatures hence this study comes in handy
