The correct answer is D) An apparently longer survival time among persons identified during a screening program because they were identified at an earlier stage of their disease

Explanation:

In medicine, screening is a method to diagnose diseases even if the person has no symptoms; due to this, screening is related to earlier detection of diseases than traditional diagnosis based on symptoms. Early diagnosis does not imply longer survival time, but it can lead to doctors or individuals to perceive the survival time was longer, this phenomenon is known as lead-time bias.

For example, a person diagnosed with cancer at an early stage when he is 45 years old,  dies at 50 years old, this means his survival time was 5 years. If the same person is diagnosed at 48 years based on symptoms and he dies at 50 it seems the survival time is less (2 years); however, this is biased as the diagnosis did not change the effect of the disease. According to this, lead-time bias can be described as "an apparently longer survival time among persons identified during a screening program because they were identified at an earlier stage of their disease".

Clinical manifestations of stroke include severe headaches accompanied by vomiting and vertigo.

<h3>Clinical manifestations of stroke</h3>

The symptomatology depends on the location of the ischemic process, the size of the ischemic area, the nature and functions of the affected area and the availability of collateral flow.

The main sequelae resulting from a stroke are the neurological deficits that will be reflected throughout the body, unilaterally or bilaterally, as a result of the location and size of the brain injury, which may present as signs and symptoms of loss of voluntary control in relation to motor movements.  

With this information, we can conclude that the main symptoms of stroke are severe headache, nausea, and vomiting.
