Subtype distribution for early-onset vs overall stroke based on the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) classification system. Data sources: subtype distribution for early-onset stroke is based on data from 3331 first-ever IS patients, aged 15 to 49 years, from hospital-based registries across Europe (Yesilot Barlas et al) and for overall stroke based on data from 1594 white first-ever IS patients from the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Stroke Study (Schneider et al).
