RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Stroke is the third leading cause of death globally , act on modifiable risk factors is now the best prevention strategy. Medical complications are common in patients hospitalized for stroke , the valuation of income NIHSS , is associated with the final result in terms of duration of hospitalization, survival and discharge location. OBJETIVE: Determining risk factors ( RF) in patients hospitalized for stroke in Hospital Nacional de Clinicas de Córdoba (HNC) and characterize neurological complications NIHSS relative to income. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective study of patients admitted to the Service of Neurology at HNC diagnosed with the first of September , 2010 to December 30, 2012 , we applied the admission NIHSS scale. Were determined cerebrovascular risk factors , we evaluated neurological complications during hospitalization. RESULTS: The total number of patients admitted for stroke was 200 , with 168 ischemic stroke ( 84%) and hemorrhagic stroke 32 (16 % ) . The FR Hypertension was the most frequent ( 83.5 %), over 40% had 3 or more FR for stroke. Had complications : 32 % of patients , the respiratory infection was the most frequent (14.5 % ). Patients with NIHSS greater than 10 points had a higher rate of complications. CONCLUSION: The multiple RF control is an effective strategy to decrease the incidence of stroke . Prevention of medical complications enable better patient care and reduce morbidity associated with stroke.
El Accidente cerebro vascular (ACV) constituye la tercera causa de muerte a nivel mundial; actuar sobre los factores de riesgo modificables constituye hoy la mejor estrategia de prevención. Las complicaciones médicas son frecuentes en los pacientes internados por ACV; la valoración del NIHSS de ingreso, está asociado al resultado final en términos de duración de internación, supervivencia y ubicación al alta. Objetivo. Determinar los factores de riesgo (FR) en pacientes internados por ACV en el HNC de Córdoba y caracterizar las complicaciones no neurológicas en relación al NIHSS de ingreso. Material y métodos. Estudio prospectivo de pacientes internados en el HNC con diagnóstico de ACV del primero de septiembre de 2010 al 30 de diciembre de 2012, se aplicó la escala de NIHSS al ingreso. Se determinaron los factores de riesgo cerebrovasculares; se evaluaron las complicaciones no neurológicas durante la internación. Resultados. El total de pacientes ingresados por ACV fue de 200, con ACV isquémico 168 (84%) y ACV hemorrágico 32(16%). La Hipertensión Arterial fue el FR más frecuente (83,5%); más del 40% tenía 3 o más FR para ACV. Tuvieron complicaciones: 32% de los pacientes, la Infección respiratoria fue la más frecuente (14.5%)Pacientes con NIHSS superior a 10 puntos presentaron mayor porcentaje de complicaciones. Conclusión. El control de FR múltiples constituye una estrategia efectiva para disminuir la incidencia de ACV. La prevención de las complicaciones médicas permiten un mejor cuidado del paciente y reducen la morbilidad relacionada al ACV.
