Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Stroke is the third leading cause of death globally , act on modifiable risk factors is now the best prevention strategy. Medical complications are common in patients hospitalized for stroke , the valuation of income NIHSS , is associated with the final result in terms of duration of hospitalization, survival and discharge location.
OBJETIVE
Determining risk factors ( RF) in patients hospitalized for stroke in Hospital Nacional de Clinicas de Córdoba (HNC) and characterize neurological complications NIHSS relative to income.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Prospective study of patients admitted to the Service of Neurology at HNC diagnosed with the first of September , 2010 to December 30, 2012 , we applied the admission NIHSS scale. Were determined cerebrovascular risk factors , we evaluated neurological complications during hospitalization.
RESULTS
The total number of patients admitted for stroke was 200 , with 168 ischemic stroke ( 84%) and hemorrhagic stroke 32 (16 % ) . The FR Hypertension was the most frequent ( 83.5 %), over 40% had 3 or more FR for stroke. Had complications : 32 % of patients , the respiratory infection was the most frequent (14.5 % ). Patients with NIHSS greater than 10 points had a higher rate of complications.
CONCLUSION
The multiple RF control is an effective strategy to decrease the incidence of stroke . Prevention of medical complications enable better patient care and reduce morbidity associated with stroke.
