Abstract
Background: Infarct and hemorrhage are frequently encountered problem. Assessment of possible hemorrhage in acute stroke before appropriate therapy remains important. Causes, outcome and treatment strategies differ from patient to patient. Aim: To determine the incidence of stroke (infarct and haemorrhage) in patients and mortality admitted to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Medical College Jabalpur. Methods: 100 patients of both genders and age > 15 years presenting with stroke were included in the study. All patients had CT scan brain. The results were them compared with clinical diagnosis on case to case basis and precision of clinical diagnosis was as refrained. Results: In current study highest incidence in the age group was 61-70 yrs in 32% cases. In current study the incidence of stroke was much more common in males. Results showed that of the 100 cases studies cerebral infarct was seen in 65% cases, cerebral hemorrhage in 33% cases, and subarachnoid hemorrhage in 1% and cerebral venous thrombosis in 1% cases. The mortality form cerebral infarct was 30 % from intra cerebral hemorrhage was 36%. As a whole out of 100 patient of stroke of all types, 32 patients died within span of 30 days. Conclusion: As the age increases incidence of stroke increases, increased mortality was seen in present study.
