Predicting pain and its association with mortality in patients with stroke.

Background And Objectives: Poststroke pain (PSP) is a prevalent and severe consequence of stroke, encompassing central, neuropathic, and nonneuropathic pain. In this study, we aimed to investigate clinical factors associated with PSP three months after stroke and concurrently explore the association between PSP and one-year mortality.

Methods: This registry-based study comprised data from stroke patients admitted to three hospitals in Sweden between November 2014 and June 2019.
