Journal: Cerebrovascular Diseases - Manuscript Submission Deadline: Closed
Cerebrovascular Diseases Journal is pleased to announce that it will publish papers and an article collection on “Sex and Gender Disparities in Stroke”.
Despite recent landmark achievements in stroke research and treatment, there remains a pressing need to address the sex and gender disparities associated with stroke incidence, treatment outcomes, and access to healthcare. This call for papers has a broad scope, and we invite researchers, clinicians, public health experts, and other stakeholders to submit their original research articles, brief reports, review articles, and letters presenting a perspective to deepen the understanding of sex and gender disparities in stroke. We particularly welcome submissions from low- and middle-income countries where sex-disaggregated stroke data are lacking, as well as insights into disparities faced by the LGBTQI community affected by stroke. Additionally, we value the sharing of local and regional experiences in this field and encourage proposals for evidence-based approaches to mitigate these inequalities.
