Caregivers key component in poststroke care

22 Apr 2021 by

Caregivers play a big role in poststroke outpatient follow-ups, according to a recent Singapore study. While a co-residing caregiver encourages late poststroke specialist outpatient care (SOC) visits, caregiver burden lessens early visits to primary care (PC).
