Likelihood of rising Stroke in populace of western India - A case control study
Bhavesh Shroff
Medical College Baroda, India
Statement of the Problem: Cerebrovascular accident
(Stroke) is a non-communicable disease of increasing
importance. According to the World Health Organization
(WHO), 15 million people suffer from stroke worldwide
each year. Globally, in 2013 there were 6.5 million stroke
deaths; this makes stroke the second most common
leading cause of death.
The National Commission on Macroeconomics and Health,
India, has estimated 1.67 million stroke cases in India in
2015. Due to the increasing prevalence of hypertension,
diabetes, dyslipidemia, fast changing lifestyle and re-
structuring of population, stroke will be an epidemic in
India in the days to come.
Few studies have been carried out in developing countries
like India. So, this case control study intended to know the
presentation in addition to risk factors, patterns of warning
signs and symptoms of stroke in patients admitted to state
tertiary care Hospital.
Assuming the power ratio of the number of controls
same as numbers of cases specifying values for two
sided confidence level 95% and odd ratio 2.15 which was
the minimum risk factor in previous study was taken to
calculate sample size.
Conclusion & Recommendations: After studying of 148
cases of stroke and same controls, we conclude that most
common type of stroke is ischemic stroke followed by
haemorrhagic stroke. After multivariate analysis we found,
modifiable risk factors were mainly mental stress, active &
passive smoking, hypertension and obesity.
Due to the sheer magnitude, devastating consequences
and residual sequelae of the stroke, early intervention in
the form of patient education, modification of the lifestyle,
non - pharmacological and pharmacological interventions
for modifiable risk factors should be an integral aspect of
patient care.
