Correlation of Stroke Risk Factor With Outcome in Non-thrombolysis Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

Introduction: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of chronic disability worldwide with over 50% of survivors. Indonesia has the highest stroke mortality rate among countries in Asia. Stroke is associated with modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors. Stroke patients will have limitations in their daily activities. The limitations vary depending on their outcomes. This study aims to determine the correlation between stroke risk factors and stroke outcomes. Materials and methods: This research used cross-sectional observational analytic study and non-probability sampling with total sampling technique. The research subjects consisted of 77 non-thrombolysis acute ischemic stroke patients who came to the emergency room of Mohammad Noer General Hospital from September 2022 to February 2023. The stroke risk factors were assessed using the R-FSRS (Revised Framingham Stroke Risk Score) and patient outcomes were assessed using the NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale). Results: The correlation between the risk factor of stroke were assessed using the R-FSRS and the outcome of non-thrombolysis acute ischemic stroke patients was significant with a P value <0.001. The correlation between blood pressure and type 2 diabetes mellitus with stroke outcome as assessed by the NIHSS was significant with a P value <0.001. Conclusion: There was significant correlation between the risk factor of stroke as assessed by R-FSRS and the outcome of stroke as assessed by NIHSS in ischemic stroke patients. Hypertention and diabetes mellitus are the predominant risk factors of stroke.
