Knowledge Regarding Basic Facts of Stroke Among Final Year MBBS Students and House Officers: A Cross-Sectional Survey of 708 Respondents from Pakistan.

This multicenter survey shows that the knowledge and confidence of medical students and HOs in Pakistan regarding initial diagnosis and management of stroke are inadequate in most domains. There is a need to improve the medical training for stroke in emergency departments for optimal outcomes. Public education campaigns about stroke should be conducted to increase the general awareness of the population about the prevention, signs, symptoms, and emergency steps to be taken when encountering a case of stroke.
