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.
