Assessment of Clinical Profiles, Risk Factors, and Management of Stroke
Abstract: Globally, stroke is a leading cause of death and disability which is associated with several risk factors. Identifying these risk factors is essential for the effective prevention and management of stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical parameters and risk factors associated with stroke and its management. The present prospective, retrospective, observational study was conducted in the neurology ward of Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad. Over a period of 6 months, 150 patients who met the study criteria were included. The required data was collected and analysed statistically using SPSS version 24. Out of the 150 patients (118 males, 32 females; mean age 53.74 ± 13.29), 95 (63%) were diagnosed with ischemic stroke while 55 (37%) were diagnosed with hemorrhagic stroke. The majority of the patients had risk factors (75%). Among the observed clinical investigations, abnormalities were majorly observed in LDL, HbA1c and homocysteine. A significant association was found between stroke type and major risk factors (p < 0.05). Ischemic stroke patients were primarily treated with statins and anti-platelets while anti-hypertensives were used for hemorrhagic stroke. A total of 53 patients (35.3%) underwent surgical interventions. The findings of this study highlight the predominance of ischemic stroke and the importance of early identification and management of modifiable risk factors.
