Study on prevalence of CVA using non-invasive non-contrast ct scan in our population
Abstract
Background: The burden of stroke is increasing in India; stroke is now the fourth leading cause of death and the fifth leading cause of disability. Previous research suggests that the incidence of stroke in India ranges between 105 and 152/100,000 people per year. However, there is a paucity of available data and a lack of uniform methods across published studies. Objectives of this study: The objectives of this study is to estimate the prevalence of stroke in our population. Materials and Methods: All the patients were subjected to a detailed clinical history, including risk factors, previous stroke, transient ischemic attack, physical examination including vital parameter assessment, serial neurological examination, other systems examination, computed tomography (CT) of brain. Concurrently, the patients were also worked up for complete hemogram, coagulation profile, and basic biochemical parameters. Statistical Analysis: Statistical analysis was done using Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 software. Results were derived using frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation. Results: It is evident from our study that the Ischemic stroke accounted for 76% of the total and haemorrhagic stroke accounted for 24% of the total stroke.
