Risk factors in patients diagnosed with stroke in the Regional Hospital of Coronel Oviedo
Keywords:
stroke, arterial hypertension, ischemiaAbstract
Cerebrovascular accident, also called ictus or stroke, is a brain injury that can also seriously affect the body. It occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is interrupted or when a stroke occurs in or around the brain. Knowledge of the etiological factors and mechanisms involved in the production of stroke is essential in order to establish a proper diagnosis and implement effective prevention and treat ment measures.
In this study the objective was to identify the modifiable and non-modifiable Risk Factors in patients diagnosed with stroke in the Regional Hospital of Coronel Oviedo during the year 2021.
A total of 69 cases of stroke registered inthe year 2021 were recorded in the study. Of which, 31/69(44.9%) patients were fe- male and 38/69 (55.1%) were male. The most affected age range for both sexes belonged to the 70 to 79 years age group, with 20/69 (29%) cases. The age range between 30 and 39 years was the one with the fewest cases of stroke for both sexes, with 1/69 (1.5%). In relation to the types of stroke, there was a greater pre- dominance of ischemic stroke, with 61/69 (88%) cases registered in that period. The most frequent modifiable risk factor was arterial hypertension, with a total of 61/69 (88.4%) patients with this factor. Finally, the mortality rate was 2.9%.
