ABSTRACT
Objective:
To find out the
frequency of hypoalbuminemia and mortality rate in cases of acute ischemic stroke.
Material
and methods: Between
April 2020 to October 2020, total 180 patients of acute ischemic stroke, age
between 40-60 years of both gender were selected from Department of Medicine,
Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur.
Type of study was cross sectional. Hypoalbuminemia and mortality rate
was assessed.
Results:
In present study,
mean age of the patients was 49.78 ± 4.43 years. Out of 180 patients of acute ischemic stroke,
hypoalbuminemia was found in 68 (38%) patients. Mortality rate was 10 (26%) and
rest of the patients were alive. Hypoalbuminemia was found in 28 (28.28%)
patients and 40 (49.38%) patients respectively in age groups 40-50 years and
51-60 years. Association of
hypoalbuminemia with age group was significant (P = 0.005).
Conclusion:
Results of this study
showed a higher rate of hypoalbuminemia and mortality in cases of acute
ischemic stroke. Hypoalbuminemia was
more common in 5th decade and significant association of
hypoalbuminemia with age was noted. Most
of the stroke patients were male and hypoalbuminemia was also common in male
patients. Significant association of hypoalbuminemia with diabetes mellitus was
observed.
