Dr Radha Mahadevan, Dr Rachel. C, Dr Tina Jeyaraj

Abstract :

 Background: Stroke is one of the commonest neurological disorders causing significant morbidity and mortality. There are various risk factors that contribute to the occurrence of stroke and determine the prognosis. Objective: To study the recovery of neurological deficit in a patient suffering from stroke with respect to common risk factors associated with stroke. Materials and Methods: 100 patients of stroke who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were included in the study.  MRS was used for quantitative assessment. Recovery pattern was analysed in correlation with various parameters (Diabetes, Hypertension, Alcoholism and Smoking, size of infarct and volume of bleed in CT/MRI). Results: 22.2% of the patients in ischemic stroke with large size infarcts and combination of multiple risk factors had a poor prognosis while 41.11% patients with small size infarct and single risk factor had a good prognosis. In haemorrhagic stroke, large volume bleeds with associated persistent hypertension showed a poor prognosis.
