- Abstract
Background:- Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and disability in Asian population. Changes in the HbA1c and Uric acid levels have been suggested as a risk factor for developing ischemic stroke. The present study was designed to evaluate the HbA1c and Uric acid levels in a patient diagnosed with ischemic stroke and correlating it’s severity with the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and prediction of outcome based on Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scoring system after 28 days from day of admission. Material methods:- A Hospital based Prospective Observational study included 150 Patients of Acute ischemic stroke visiting OPD and IPD of Medicine department of MGMC&H Jaipur. We estimated HbA1c and uric acid levels of these patient’s and compared them with severity of stroke according to NIHSS scale and correlated the outcome based on Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scoring system after 28 days from day of admission. Results:- Increased HbA1c and Uric acid levels positively and significantly (p <0.001) correlated with NIHSS scale. Increased HbA1c and Uric acid levels positively and significantly (p <0.001) correlated with mRS scale. Conclusion:- It could be concluded that higher HbA1c and uric acid levels can be considered as a risk factor for ischemic cerebral events and higher level is associated with the more severe stroke and poor outcome.
