Description
Viviane Zetola and co-authors pool studies on stroke smarts in Brazil in a 2026 review. Stroke care works best when bystanders spot signs fast and call for help. Brazil set a stroke care plan in 2012 with public teaching at its core. The team searched five data banks for studies of stroke grasp in the broad public. Sixteen studies with 17,569 people made the cut.
About 72 percent of people could name stroke in the pooled read. Sign spots ran low: near half knew mouth droop, weakness, or speech change. Fewer than half would call an ambulance first. More school years tied to far better stroke grasp. The call rate rose after the 2012 plan, but sign spots did not. The authors urge school and town teaching built on the local SAMU cue word set.
