Materials and methods: This study included 35 patients of hemorrhagic stroke coming to MGM hospital, Kamothe. Results: The study contained of 13 females and 22 male patients. Group A consisted of 5 patients. As the patients expired within 24 hours, only a single value of PDW was available in these patients.
