Résumé
Stroke is a neurological emergency affecting both developed and developing countries. In Djibouti, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death. Our objective was to describe the demographic, clinical, paraclinical profile of stroke in Djibouti and identify the possible underlying risk factors. We conducted a cross-sectional multicentre study carried out over a period of 6 months in the medical services of the Soudano-Djibouti military hospital, the General Peltier hospital and the emergency department of the National fund for social security health centre. A total of seventy patients were included. The mean age was 59.61 years with a male predominance (sex ratio: 2.5) and a statistically significant female-related difference beyond the age of 60 years (p <10 Stroke had primarily modifiable risk factors in Djiboutian patients dominated by high blood pressure, tobacco use and khat chewing especially in the male population under the age of 60 years. These findings could have implications on future preventive measures and a better approach to public health policy.

Discussion
UNASSIGNED

These findings could have implications on future preventive measures and a better approach to public health policy.
