Then they should come up with specific responses to reduce that risk. But they didn't.

A couple of selected paragraphs;
Nearly one in six teens and adults who initially survive a stroke
before age 50 die over the next decade, a Finnish study showed.
The mortality rate of people who survived at least a month after having a stroke at age 15 to 49 was 15.7% over a mean 10 years of follow-up
and 23.0% cumulatively with up to 17 years of follow-up, Karoliina
Aarnio, MD, of the Helsinki University Central Hospital, and colleagues
found.
That rate was seven-fold higher than that of the age- and
sex-matched general population, they reported in the September issue of Stroke.
"The high mortality rates and the striking impact of recurrent stroke on
the risk of death should lead to development of more robust primary and
secondary prevention strategies for young patients with stroke," they
argued. (What a pathetic response)
