Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the work was to study the demographic characteristics, clinical features and neuro-imaging finding of stroke in a tertiary care hospital of southwest Rajasthan. METHODS: A prospective observational study on stroke was carried out for a period of 2 year (October 2016 to September 2018). A total of 230 patients from Neurology department of Geetanjali medical college and hospital were enrolled in the study. The data were collected and evaluated by reviewing case files and patient interview using preformed proforma. RESULT AND CONCLUSION: In our study, incidence of ischemic stroke was found to be higher. The occurrence of stroke steeply rises with age and was more common in male. The burden of stroke tends to be more in rural, illiterate, and low socioeconomic status population. The study reveals risk factors such as sedentary lifestyle, consumption of alcohol, tobacco smoking and underlying disease like hypertension, diabetes. Topographic distribution of cerebral infracts and hemorrhage was found to be more in supratentorial region, respectively. The study highlights the need for aggressive management of traditional risk factors, need for extensive work up in patients to find etiologies and need for more active intervention in community for the prevention of stroke.
