Final answer:

Hemorrhagic strokes have worse survival rates compared to ischemic strokes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hemorrhagic strokes, which occur when an artery in the brain ruptures and causes bleeding, have worse survival rates compared to ischemic strokes. Hemorrhagic strokes account for about 10% of all strokes but are more likely to be fatal. Ischemic strokes, caused by a blood clot blocking an artery in the brain, are more common but generally have better survival rates.
