Glad to work with @adriaquigley @DocMarkBayley @canstroke to advance research in understanding why women have been underrepresented in stroke trials and what we can do about it
11 Feb 2025
Women have traditionally been underrepresented in stroke RCTs, accounting for only 38.8% of participants. Two ongoing trials at CanStroke are looking to change that. @DocMarkBayley @adriaquigley @MacstrokeCan
