Stroke is leading cause of death after cardiacdisease and there has been a paradigm shift in the managementof stroke after the advent of intravenous thrombolysis andmechanical thrombectomy. Clinicians are often challengedregarding the outcome as the morbidity and mortality are highif not managed appropriately. As there are various factorswhich influence the mortality in each type of stroke, our studyhas been designed out find the mortality rates and to identifythe factors influencing in each type of stroke.Material and
Out of the 190 patients, 151 had ischemic and 39had a haemorrhagic stroke. Regarding the outcome 22.6%died. Elderlypatients, patients with stress hyperglycemia anddiabetes, patients with prior history of CVA, raised intracranialtension, low Glascow coma scale, higher BP on admission,altered renal function and presence of nosocomial infectionswere predictors of mortality in both stroke types. Additionallyin ischemic stroke we found that the involvement of more thanone vascular territory of the brain and the presence of atrialfibrillation have higher mortality.
Conclusion:
Considering these factors with larger sample sizein both tertiary and other care centres we can evolve bettercriteria and guideline in the management of stroke.
