Résumé
India is a large country with geographically diverse populations and varying risk factors. Identification of regional differences can improve healthcare policy decisions. To study regional differences in stroke between North and South India. We analyzed data from the Indo-US Collaborative Stroke Project, a National Institute of Health-funded multicentre prospective study conducted in five academic centers in India with a US-based coordinating center. Risk factors, severity, mechanisms, management, complications, and outcomes among ischemic stroke patients were compared between North and South Indian centers. Of the 2066 patients enrolled from North ( The substantial regional differences in stroke risk factors and mechanisms may be partly explained by factors such as differing dietary habits and lifestyle, which can be addressed at a national level. Differences in acute and inpatient stroke care suggest a need for better adoption of national stroke management guidelines.

BACKGROUND
India is a large country with geographically diverse populations and varying risk factors. Identification of regional differences can improve healthcare policy decisions.
AIM
To study regional differences in stroke between North and South India.
METHODS
We analyzed data from the Indo-US Collaborative Stroke Project, a National Institute of Health-funded multicentre prospective study conducted in five academic centers in India with a US-based coordinating center. Risk factors, severity, mechanisms, management, complications, and outcomes among ischemic stroke patients were compared between North and South Indian centers.
RESULTS
Of the 2066 patients enrolled from North (
CONCLUSIONS
The substantial regional differences in stroke risk factors and mechanisms may be partly explained by factors such as differing dietary habits and lifestyle, which can be addressed at a national level. Differences in acute and inpatient stroke care suggest a need for better adoption of national stroke management guidelines.
