Prevalence and factors associated with pre-hospital delay among acute stroke patients at Mulago and Kiruddu national referral hospitals, Kampala: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

Prevalence of pre-hospital delay among acute stroke patients presenting to public tertiary hospitals in Uganda is very high. The causes of pre hospital delay should be further explored qualitatively. Efforts to reduce prehospital delay should include improving pre-hospital transport systems for stroke patients.
