Abstract

 The  study  was  aimed  to evaluate  the  factors  that  contribute  to  a  pre-hospital
delay in acute stroke patients at the hospital settings. Stroke  is  the leading  cause  of  disability,  with  rising  rates  in  emerging
nations.  The  majority  of  strokes  are  caused  by  ischemia  due  to  arterial  blockage.  However,  for
endovascular  treatment  and  thrombolysis,  as  well  as  conservative  medicinal  care,  the  period
between symptom onset and therapy beginning remains a critical element in functional success.
This period is known as prehospital delay.
