Background: Smoking influence on poststroke prognosis remains controversial. These conflicting results could be due to some residual confounding factors not fully considered in previous studies, including social deprivation. This study aimed to assess the joint impact of deprivation and smoking on functional outcomes after ischemic stroke.

Aims: The social parameters of an individual impact the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. French Guiana, an overseas French territory with a lower standard of living than France, has a prevalence of diabetes mellitus that is twice that of mainland France. In this context we aimed to study the relation between precariousness, diabetes complications and glycemic control.

- Social deprivation negatively impacts the 1-year survival rates of patients with ischemic stroke, with higher mortality observed in deprived individuals compared to those who are not deprived.
- The study involved 1,540 patients, using the EPICES score to evaluate individual social deprivation and found no significant difference in mortality within the first 90 days but a marked excess in mortality from 90 days to 12 months for deprived patients.
- In patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, social deprivation did not influence 12-month mortality, indicating that specific post-stroke care may be necessary for those with ischemic strokes who are socially deprived.
Background: French Guiana has the highest incidence of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke of all French territories. However, there is no further information on the epidemiology and management of stroke in French Guiana. Our goal was to describe the characteristics of patients in French Guiana in order to generate hypotheses regarding the determinants explaining the magnitude of this public health problem.
