Background: One out of every four strokes is a highly preventable recurrent stroke. However, while low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) experience a disproportionate global burden of stroke, individuals in these regions seldomly participate in pivotal clinical trials, which form the basis for international expert consensus guideline recommendations.
Objective: To evaluate a contemporary and globally prominent expert consensus secondary stroke prevention guideline statement for the participation of clinical trial subjects recruited from LMICs in formulating key therapeutic recommendations.
