Objective: Stroke in young patients is not common. The purpose of this study was to find out the risk factors of stroke in young adults in Bangladesh and to compare with different other studies. Methods: 85 young adult cases of stroke patients with the age ranging from 14 to 45 years, admitted in different medical units of Dhaka Medical College Hospital from January 2008 to July 2009, were studied. The risk factors for stroke and the distribution of stroke types were analyzed. Results: The specific age group (14-45 years old) included 6% of patients of all ages admitted for stroke. Among 85 patients, cerebral infarction was diagnosed in 52 patients (61%). Intracerebral hemorrhage (without trauma) was diagnosed in 25 patients (29.4%). Subarachnoid hemorrhage was found in 7 young patients (8.24%). The most common risk factors for ischemic stroke were hypertension (57.68%), hypercholesterolemia (38.46%), diabetes (34.61%), smoking (32.69%), premature atherosclerosis (11.54%). Regarding aetiology of cerebral infarction, the majority due to cardiogenic emboli (75%). The use of oral contraceptives, pregnancy, SLE, migraine and moya moya disease were infrequent causes of cerebral infarction. In ischemic stroke, the ratio of cardiogenic emboli & other factors were 3:1. The most common risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke were hypertension (63.63%), hypercholesterolemia (39.39%), diabetes (36.54%) & smoking (33.33%). Conclusion: Hypertension, Diabetes, tobacco smoking, premature atherosclerosis & rheumatic valvular heart disease are growing problems in the developing countries. According to our finding, identification & treatment of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes & rheumatic valvular heart disease & cessation of smoking are proper measures to prevent morbidity & mortality.

Stroke In Young

Introduction. Stroke is the second cause of mortality worldwide, after the ischemic coronary disease, and the first cause of long term-disability. Recent studies report that ischemic stroke (IS) in young patients is increasing in incidence, even though the overall stroke hospitalization rate is decreasing. Stroke in the young, working individuals significantly affects the quality of life (QoL) and also determines an important, negative economic impact by reducing the workforce. Material and method. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a 4-year observational, retrospective study on all patients between 18-49 years, who suffered from acute IS and were admitted and investigated in the Neurology Clinic of Sibiu and the CVASIC Research Center. Clinical evaluations, imaging investigations, and risk factor evaluations were performed on all patients in order to elucidate the etiology and organize according to the TOAST classification. Results and discussions. 114 patients with ischemic stroke were included in the study. 76% of the subjects fall into the 40-49 age class. In respect to the TOAST classification, most cases of IS were of UE (rural<urban), while the fewest cases of IS were represented by SAA in both populations. The most frequent vascular risk factors were hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking and thrombophilia. Confirmed cervical arteries dissection caused 2/3 of the severe carotid stenosis and 45,5% of the carotid occlusions. Conclusions. Hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking are the main risk factors for stroke in young patients. The most common TOAST stroke subtype was stroke of undetermined etiology, followed by stroke of other determined etiology (carotid artery dissection and thrombophilia).

Background: The relation between serum lipids and ischemic stroke remains controversial in young patients. The aim was to determine the serum lipid profile and the vascular risk factors for ischaemic stroke in a series of patients under 45 with an ischemic stroke and to compare them with a series of controls of the same age. Material and method: This case-control study was conducted in the Department of Neurology and Department of Biochemistry of BSMMU, Dhaka, between the period of July 2007 and June 2009 for duration of two years. A total number of 50 patients presented with recent ischemic stroke and 50 control person were enrolled in this study. All patients of both sexes, aged between 15 to 45 years presented with ischemic stroke, from 0 day to 1 month that was confirmed by CT scan of head/MRI of brain. Vascular risk factors were recorded and blood sample was collected from the cases and the controls and analyzed at the Dept. of Biochemistry, BSMMU for estimation of serum fasting lipid profile. Result: Multivariate analyses showed that other than serum lipids- family history of dyslipidaemia, family history of stroke or TIA, history of HTN and smoking habit are found significant risks for stroke in young adult. Conclusion: The present study does not confirm the role of serum lipids as risk factors for ischemic stroke in young adult. Other than serum lipids- family history of dyslipidaemia, family history of stroke or TIA, history of HTN and smoking habit are found significant risks for stroke in young adult.

Introduction: Few studies have compared the proportion of ischemic strokes attributable to traditional vascular risk factors (population-attributable risk percent or PAR%) between genders and races. The PAR% is a function of the population prevalence and strength of association of a risk factor. Methods: A population-based case-control study of ischemic stroke in young adults ages 18-49 in the Baltimore-Washington region was used to study the prevalence, odds ratios, and PAR% of hypertension, diabetes, and smoking among blacks and whites. Logistic regression was used to calculate age-adjusted odds ratios. All analyses were stratified by gender. Results: There were 1044 cases and 1099 controls. Of the cases, 47% were black, 54% were women. Roughly a quarter to a third of all strokes in women were attributable to smoking. Due to the higher prevalence of hypertension and a higher odds ratio for hypertension in black men (OR 3.9, 95% CI 2.6-5.9) compared to white men (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.3-2.6), there was a much higher PAR% for hypertension among black men than white men. See Table 1 for prevalence and Table 2 for PAR% stratified by gender and race. Conclusion: Traditional vascular risk factors have the potential to explain a high proportion of ischemic stroke in young adults. The high proportion of strokes in women attributable to smoking underscores the need for targeted smoking cessation interventions in this population. Diabetes and, especially, hypertension are important contributors to the excess population burden of ischemic stroke among blacks. These findings support the value of early screening and treatment for hypertension in young blacks.

Background and Objective: Evidence indicates that genetic factors may be involved in the risk of ischemic stroke (IS). The aim of this study was to assess the effect of genetic polymorphisms located in exons or untranslated regions of MTHFR as well as FV genes on ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 106 patients with IS and 157 healthy volunteers (age <50 years) were genotyped for MTHFR C677T, A1298C, C2572A and C4869G, FVL, and prothrombin G20210A polymorphisms. Results: The MTHFR 677CT genotype was more frequent in patients and increased risk of IS with Odds Ratio = 1.9. The MTHFR A1298C and C2572A polymorphisms were not associated with IS in dominant and recessive models. Our findings showed a significant decrease in the MTHFR 4869CG genotype in IS patients, and this variant was associated with a decreased risk of IS in the dominant model. The CAAT haplotype was associated with increased risk, and the GAAC haplotype was associated with decreased risk of IS compared to other haplotypes. There was no relation between FVL G1691A polymorphism and IS risk. Conclusions: The present study showed that the MTHFR 677CT genotype was more frequent and the MTHFR 4869CG genotype was less frequent in young IS patients.

The aims of this study were (i) to evaluate the clinical features of a consecutive series of young patients with ischemic stroke and (ii) to assess the changes in the clinical management of these patients over the study period. All consecutive cases of young adults aged 16 to 44 years, with ischemic stroke, that were admitted between 2000 and 2005 in 10 Italian hospitals were included. We retrospectively identified 324 patients. One or more vascular risk factors were present in 71.5% of the patients. With respect to the diagnostic process, an increase in the frequency of cerebral noninvasive angiographic studies and a decrease in the use of digital subtraction angiography were observed (P<0.001andP=0.03, resp.). Undetermined causes decreased over 5-year period of study (P<0.001). The diagnosis of cardioembolism increased. Thrombolysis was performed for 7.7% of the patients. PFO closure (8%) was the most frequently employed surgical procedure. In conclusion, the clinical care that is given to young patients with ischemic stroke changed over the study period. In particular, we detected an evolution in the diagnostic process and a reduction in the number of undetermined cases.

Abstract Background The risk factors for ischemic stroke in young people are complex, varied and closely related to prognosis. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for ischemic stroke in Chinese young people and to explore the main factors influencing the prognosis. Method A total of 444 patients aged 16 to 45 years with ischemic stroke admitted to Suzhou tertiary hospital from 2011 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Risk factors were identified according to the IPSS definition of pediatric stroke and the TOAST classification. All patients were followed up, and the modified Rankin score was used to evaluate the prognosis. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of poor prognosis. Results Among the patients, 12 risk factors were found according to the IPSS definition of pediatric stroke, and 5 types of stroke were found according to the TOAST classification. A total of 299 patients had a good prognosis. Anemia, venous sinus thrombosis, isolated large-vessel occlusion, and high baseline NIHSS score were significant risk factors. Conclusion The IPSS definition enables patients to be classified on the basis of more risk factors than other classification methods. The prognosis of ischemic stroke in young people is generally good in the 5 years following the event. Anemia, venous sinus thrombosis, isolated large-vessel occlusion and high baseline NIHSS score were associated with poor prognosis.
