Cross-sectional analysis reveals distinct characteristics in clinical and metabolic profiles of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke in adults, suggesting varied risk factors.
Key Points
Ischemic stroke is prevalent in 565 out of 800 patients, while hemorrhagic stroke accounts for 235 cases, indicating a higher occurrence of ischemic types.
Higher mortality rates were observed in hemorrhagic stroke patients, with 24.3% mortality compared to 13.1% in ischemic counterparts, highlighting serious outcomes.
The study employed a cross-sectional observational design, capturing diverse demographic and clinical data within 24 hours of admission across multiple subjects.
Findings suggest factors like hypertension and socioeconomic status are linked to hemorrhagic stroke, while older age and smoking relate to ischemic stroke.
