A study on short term outcome of stroke in a rural tertiary care center of Sub Himalayan Terai

Background: Stroke is the second most common cause of mortality in the world, causing immense morbidity and economic burden. The proper knowledge of the factors which influence the good clinical outcome in stroke is utmost strength of the clinicians in India, where post stroke rehabilitative measures are limited.Aims and Objective: To find out the association of outcome of stroke with different risk factors.Materials and Methods: A descriptive observational design study was formulated for a period of six months on hundred stroke patients in internal medicine unit of at North Bengal Medical College & Hospital, India. Patients were selected after proper screening by inclusion and exclusion criteria. The “In-hospital-outcome” of CVA patient was determined by Glasgow outcome scale. The neurological condition was determined by National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The Modified Rankin Scale and Barthel Index were utilized to asses disability status of patient in different period of hospital admission. The data were analyzed by EPI INFO software.Results: Clinical outcome showed statistically significant (P<0.05) correlation with age, sex, level of consciousness, blood pressure, diabetes, past history, mass effect, size and depth of infarction and intra-ventricular extension of intra cerebral bleeding. Other parameters like type of stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic), delay in admission, dyslipidemia, presence of heart disease, smoking, alcoholism, family history, depth and volume of intra cerebral bleeding, although showed poorer clinical outcome, their correlation was not statistically significant.Conclusion: In-hospital outcome of stroke as determined by Glasgow outcome scale correlates with diverse clinical parameters including various risk factors.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.9(4) 2018 1-9

First Choice

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of Gelfoam as an effective embolizing agent in patients with hemoptysis presenting to a tertiary care center in developing nations. Material and Methods: A retrospective analysis of data from 30 patients treated by Interventional radiologist at St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore, India, was performed. The study included 22 males (73.3%) and 8 (26.65%) female patients. Gelfoam was used as the sole embolizing agent and arteries with features of abnormal blush and hypertrophy were targeted. Analysis of the etiology, immediate, and short-term outcome and complications, when present, was performed. The median follow-up period was 45 days following an embolization procedure at this center. Results: A high short-term efficacy was noted following embolization procedures with Gelfoam as the sole agent. Twenty-eight out of 30 procedures were deemed successful, and post-tubercular changes were noted to be the cause for hemoptysis in 23 patients. The high short-term efficacy (93.3%), evidenced by a complete stoppage of hemoptysis, along with a relatively low rate of complications (spinal cord ischemia in only 2.3%), strengthens the position of Gelfoam as the sole embolizing agent in a resource-limited setting. Conclusion: In an economically constrained setting, Gelfoam proves to be a useful first choice single embolization agent, while polyvinyl alcohol particles coupled with microcatheter systems remain within reach of only those who can afford them.
