Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to announce the launch of the Special Issue of “Stroke in the Elderly”. As the population ages and advances continue that see improvement in stroke for people of older age, it is becoming increasingly important to properly evidence this area.
We are looking forward to a range of articles covering all aspects of this exciting area. They may explore the differences in outcomes between older and younger stroke populations or reflect new data purely studying older people suffering stroke. There is also considerable scope for studying stroke in the oldest old.
We would be particularly keen to see how common concepts in Geriatric medicine, such as frailty, sarcopenia, falls or polypharmacy (to name but a few) play a role in this population.
We look forwards to receiving your work.
Dr. Jonathan Hewitt
Guest Editor
