Abstract
Stroke is becoming a main cause of early death and disability in developing countries like India, and it is mostly enhanced by increased predominance of major risk factors. A detailed knowledge about the nature and magnitude of the stroke cases in this particular area is not only important for acute treatment but also it helps to prevent hospital admissions due to reoccurring stroke. The present study was conducted in the Department of Stroke at MGM Hospital, Warangal, India, to study the patterns of stroke admissions. All the collected data were compiled and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools. The mean age of study population was found to be 58.9 ± 18. Only 2.7% of stroke incidents occurred in people aged ≤40 years old, 4.9% of cases concerned people between 41 and 50 years old, 18.2% of the incidents happened when the subjects were between 51 and 60 years old, and in 74.2% of the cases, the individuals were ≥60 years old. The frequencies of ischemic (IS), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in Warangal region were 57.9%, 7.3%, and 29.2%, respectively. A statistically significant association was found for both smoking (χ2 = 419.1 and p < 0.001) and alcohol (χ2 = 68.7 and p < 0.001) as risk factors in stroke. From this study, it was apparent that in Telangana region, there is a need to provide structured clinical management in treating emergency stroke cases and implement stroke care services with organized multidisciplinary teams.
