In the article ‘Frailty and stroke: Global implications for assessment, research, and clinical care—A WSO scientific statement‘ by Nicholas R Evans et al., recently published in the International Journal of Stroke, the role of frailty in the settings of post-stroke conditions is dicussed.
Frailty significantly affects stroke outcomes and will become more prevalent as populations age—especially in low- and middle-income countries.
The World Stroke Organization urges global action, calling for:
- Standardized frailty assessments in research
- Inclusion of frailty measures in clinical trials
- Studies on how frailty alters stroke treatment and recovery
Addressing frailty is essential to improving global stroke care and outcomes!
