In risk factors, 31 (62%) patients had hypertension, 14 (28%) patients had diabetes mellitus, 11 (22%) patients had history of smoking, 5 (10%) patients had previous stroke/TIA and 14 (28%) patients had high cholesterol level. the patients belonging to low GCS score had bad prognosis. We found that hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking and high cholesterol level were major modifiable risk factors in the development of stroke. Controlling of these risk factors might reduce the risk of stroke.
