Stroke subtypes in southern Iran

Objective: To investigate about frequency of different subtypes of stroke in south of IranMethods: This is a retrospective, single-center study conducted at Namazi Hospital, Shiraz, south of Iran. Age, sex, length of hospitalization and mortality of stroke patients were recorded by reviewing hospital medical records.Results: 16 351 patients (53.6% male, 46.4%female) were recruited. Ischemic stroke (10750 patients, 65.7%), intracerebral hemorrhage(3282 patients,20.1%) and subarachnoid hemorrhage(1057 patients,6.5%) were the most common subtypes of stroke, respectively. In 1262 patients (7.7%) the stroke subtype could not been specified. Ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage were more common in men but subarachnoid hemorrhage was more common in women. Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred significantly in younger patients. Mortality was significantly higher in intracerebral hemorrhage. Hospital stay was significantly longer in subarachnoid hemorrhage group.Conclusion: the distribution of the different subtypes of stroke in Iran is similar to Caucasians.

Background Cardiovascular events while driving have occasionally been reported. In contrast, there have been few studies on stroke while driving. Aim The objectives of this study were to (1) report the frequency of stroke while driving and (2) evaluate its association with automobile accidents. Methods Clinical data prospectively acquired between January 2011 and December 2016 on 2145 stroke patients (1301 with ischemic stroke, 585 with intracerebral hemorrhage, and 259 with subarachnoid hemorrhage) were reviewed to identify patients who sustained a stroke while driving. The ratio of driving to performing other activities was evaluated for each stroke type. Furthermore, the drivers’ response to stroke was reviewed to understand how automobile accidents occurred. Results Among the 2145 patients, 85 (63 ischemic stroke, 20 intracerebral hemorrhage, and 2 subarachnoid hemorrhage) sustained a stroke while driving. The ratio of driving to performing other activities was significantly higher in ischemic stroke (4.8%) than in intracerebral hemorrhage (3.4%) or subarachnoid hemorrhage (0.8%). A majority of drivers either continued driving or pulled over to the roadside after suffering a stroke. However, 14 (16%) patients were involved in automobile accidents. In most patients, an altered mental status due to severe stroke was the presumed cause of the accident. Conclusion Stroke occurred while driving in 4.0% of all strokes and accidents occurred in 16% of these instances.
