    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Background: Globally, stroke appears as a major cause of preventable death and disability.&lt;br&gt;
In Ethiopia, the intra-hospital mortality of stroke is significant and there is scarcity of&lt;br&gt;
epidemiologic data whether there is a difference in the overall survival time between&lt;br&gt;
hypertensive and non-hypertensive adult stroke patients admitted in specialized hospitals.&lt;br&gt;
Objectives: To determine the survival of stroke patients according to their hypertension&lt;br&gt;
status admitted in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northern Ethiopia from&lt;br&gt;
March 1, 2012 to February 28, 2019.&lt;br&gt;
Methods: A facility-based retrospective cohort study conducted among all cohorts of&lt;br&gt;
confirmed first-ever stroke patients admitted in Ayder Comprehensive Specialized Hospital,&lt;br&gt;
Northern Ethiopia. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis applied to estimate the survival&lt;br&gt;
probability of hypertensive and non-hypertensive first ever stroke patients. Cox proportional&lt;br&gt;
hazards regression model used to determine the adjusted hazard ratio of death for each main&lt;br&gt;
baseline predictor variable, with 95% CI and P-value &amp;lt;0.05 was used to declare statistical&lt;br&gt;
significance. The assumptions of Cox proportional hazards regression model assessed by the&lt;br&gt;
global test, Schoenfeld residuals&lt;/p&gt;</description>
