Abstract 110: Prevalence of Neurological Illness, Stroke and Associated Mortality on a Ugandan Neurology Ward [Session Title: Poster Session AM]

Conclusions: Among patients admitted to a Ugandan neurology ward, stroke was the most common diagnosis and the most frequently associated with mortality. Given that such non-communicable diseases as cerebrovascular disease is becoming increasingly more important causes of death in resource-limited settings, future research should seek to understand how mortality relates to other factors during hospitalizations and whether interventions to improve delivery of care to patients at higher risk of mortality may affect patient outcomes.
