Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To determine the influence of risk factors (modifiable and non-modifiable) in the development of ischemic and hemorrhagic types of stroke. STUDY DESIGN: A Cross-sectional/observational study PLACE AND DURATION: Public tertiary Care Hospitals of Rawalpindi city over a period of 6 weeks i.e. 1st June 2017 to 10th July 2017. METHODOLOGY: This study include all patients of either gender with age >20 years who had stroke verified by CT-Scan and clinical correlation. All patients were assessed through history, clinical examinations and investigations. Modifiable and non- modifiable risk factors included were hypertension, cigareet smoking, diabetes mellitus, family and personal history of stroke, NSAIDs use, Stress, Physical inactivity, History of previous vascular events i.e. myocardial infarction and Stroke. RESULTS: Total of patients with 52. Mean age of 65.37 years, having 65.37 years. There was female to male predominance i.e (female: male= 5:4). Hypertension was the most common risk factor in stroke (84.6%) followed by stress i.e. 42.3%. The 3rd most common risk marker was cigareet smoking(30.7%).The frequency of naswar addiction, diabetes mellitus and NSAIDs use was equal i.e. 26.9%.Similarly the frequency of history of previous stroke, family history of stroke and sedentary lifestyle was almost same(i.e. 25%).Ischemic heart disease was least common risk factor(9.6%). Most of the patients included in our study belong to middle class about 30%. CONCLUSION: All most common risk factors leading to stroke are modifiable risk factors.
