Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the world, it is the first leading cause of
adult .disability. Many clinical and laboratory risk factors are accllsed to be
predisposing for the occurrence of stroke such as hypertension, diabetes cardiac
diseases and hypercholestrolemia. The current study is a case control study,
conducted on 450 subjects attending Kasr EI Aini hospitals (I SOstroke patients and
300 control subjects). The objective of this study is to detect these risk factors, and
assess their relation to the disabling effects of stroke to be used in the future as
alarming signals for early diagnosis. Tools of the study included physical
examination, dietary pattern, lab investigations, duplex, ECG and Echo cardiography.
P_atients group was subjected to additional investigations such as Neurological
assessment scales including: Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Motoricity
Index, Barthel Index and Modified Rankin out" come scale. CT scan was also
performed. Results showed a statistical significant difference between patient and
control groups regarding most clinical and laboratory risk markers. Hypertension,
smoking and transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)were considered among the most'
predominant risk markers among the patient group with a poor outcome on cognitive,
motor deficits, and disability. Hypercholestrolemia recorded the worst outcome as
regards Modified Rankin disability scale. Moreover, prompt control of these risk
factors are associated with lowering these disabilities. Dietary habits played a major
role in stoke. The most frequent food categories consumed by the patient group were
fats, proteins, and caffeine; yet vegetables, and carbohydrates were the most
frequently consumed by control subjects. It is recommended that knowledge about
risk factors together with their effects on the outcome of the stroke attack be used in
planning of a national preventive program directed to the risk groups and also be
included in the primary care facilities for early detection and proper management of
such risk markers. |
