Divergent Causes of Death After Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke in the Reperfusion Era: A Contemporary Cohort Study

Background: Contemporary data on long-term, cause-specific mortality among stroke survivors are sparse, and much of the existing evidence derives from studies performed before the modern reperfusion era.
