This study analyzed the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of stroke cases in Andijan city based on data from the hospital registry. The research showed that ischemic stroke was the most common type, affecting mostly elderly patients with comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. The majority of cases occurred in males, with seasonal variations showing a higher frequency in winter months. The results highlight the importance of early diagnosis, preventive measures, and timely medical intervention to reduce mortality and disability rates associated with stroke. The findings can serve as a foundation for improving regional healthcare policies and stroke management strategies in Andijan and similar urban settings.
