Abstract :

Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in India. The objective was to study the clinical profile, risk factors and type of stroke as per CT scan findings in patients with stroke. Methods: 50 cases of cereovascular accident confirmed after CT scan of ain over a period of 18 months (January 2018 to June 2019) were analysed. Results: The incidence of stroke was maximum in 61–80 years of age group. The average average±SD was 58.68±16.73 in our study. 31(62%) patients had ischemic stroke and 17(34%) patients had intracereal hemorrhage and 2(4%) had subarachnoid hemorrhage. The male to female ratio was 1.38:1. Hypertension (58%) was the most common risk factor. Conclusions: In developing countries like India, there is a huge burden of stroke with significant morbidity and mortality. We will be extremely benefited if we assess the condition and prognosis of stroke patients by clinical parameters, risk factors stratification, CT scan of ain and electrocardiographic changes.
