Key result
Among 100 patients with stroke, ischemic stroke (60%) was more common than hemorrhagic stroke (40%), with hypertension (48%), anemia (63%), and proteinuria (39%) identified as major risk factors.
Why the study?
Stroke prevalence is rising in India, and larger studies are needed to evaluate stroke risk factors.
Cross-Sectional (n=100)
No
This cross-sectional study highlights that ischemic stroke is the predominant type in Jharkhand, India, primarily affecting males aged 41-80 years with traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
Supports regional stroke patterns in India; leaves open need for prospective studies before guiding prevention.
Introduction Stroke is a devastating and disabling cerebrovascular disease with a significant amount of residual deficit. The prevalence of stroke is in a rising trend in India. Larger studies are needed for the evaluation of risk factors. Material and methods This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the clinical profile of patients with stroke. The demographic details of the patients were taken, comorbidities were noted, and laboratory tests were done. Observation The most common age group who presented with stroke was 61-80 years, followed by 41-60 years, comprising 47% and 46%, respectively. Ischemic stroke was more common (60%) than hemorrhagic stroke (40%). Male patients were more than female patients. Alcohol, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, anemia, and proteinuria were present in the study group. Conclusion Regular evaluation of blood pressure, blood sugar, lipid profile, and proteinuria should be routinely done in patients with diabetes and hypertension who are more than 40 years old.
