Stroke survivors and medications

A story on science blog points to research from UCLA showing that a fairly large number of stroke survivors don’t take their medication after leaving the hospital. People who survive stroke are usually prescribed drugs to prevent blood clotting. These range from aspirin to warfarin. Looking at data for more than 4,000 patients over a seven year period, the researchers found that nearly 20% of them were not taking these medications.
