Abstract
Abstract: Cerebrovascular accidents (CVAs) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Indian population. The objective is to study thyroid dysfunction in patients of CVA.Seventy five (Case group) patients of CVA were compared with 25 normal patients (control group, no CVA)in the Department of Medicine, JA Hospital, Gwalior between March 2015 to September 2016. Detailed history, thyroid profile, blood pressure and fasting blood sugar weredone. Stroke pattern was analyzed using brain CT/MRI for each patient.Most common age group among Cases and Control was 61-80 years (44%) and 41-60 years (42%) respectively. Malesoutnumbered in Cases (60%) whereas in Control group females (84) were more. Maximum patients were smokers (57.33%) and hypertensive (62.66%) in Case group. Out of 75 CVA patients, Infarction was the most common stroke type(60.25%). Among smokers, infarction (55%) was more common compared to hemorrhage (51%). Among Cases, 46.66% were diabetic. Thyroid dysfunction was reported in 28% cases. Among thyroid dysfunction, hypothyroidism was more in Cases (21.33%).Out of 14 patients who expired, 50% had thyroid dysfunction.Thyroid dysfunction is one of risk factor for the occurrence of CVA leading to increased mortality.
