  "abstract": "<p>Background: Globally, stroke appears as a major cause of preventable death and disability.<br>\nIn Ethiopia, the intra-hospital mortality of stroke is significant and there is scarcity of<br>\nepidemiologic data whether there is a difference in the overall survival time between<br>\nhypertensive and non-hypertensive adult stroke patients admitted in specialized hospitals.<br>\nObjectives: To determine the survival of stroke patients according to their hypertension<br>\nstatus admitted in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northern Ethiopia from<br>\nMarch 1, 2012 to February 28, 2019.<br>\nMethods: A facility-based retrospective cohort study conducted among all cohorts of<br>\nconfirmed first-ever stroke patients admitted in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital,<br>\nNorthern Ethiopia. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis applied to estimate the survival<br>\nprobability of hypertensive and non-hypertensive first ever stroke patients. Cox proportional<br>\nhazards regression model used to determine the adjusted hazard ratio of death for each main<br>\nbaseline predictor variable, with 95% CI and P-value &lt;0.05 was used to declare statistical<br>\nsignificance. The assumptions of Cox proportional hazards regression model assessed by the<br>\nglobal test, Schoenfeld residuals</p>",
