Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Background: Stroke is a rising problem in the developing world. With the advancing life expectancy of people in developing countries, the importance of ischemic stroke will grow as a worldwide problem. Aims and Objectives: To study lipid profile in patients with Ischemic Stroke in Rural coastal region of Maharashtra. Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study carried out in the patents with Ischemic Stroke at Rural area Konkan during the one year period i.e. Sep 2017 to Aug 2018. In the one year period there were 201 patients enrolled into the study, all details of the patients like age, sex, lipid profile etc. investigations were carried out, similarly the age matched patients without stroke were also enrolled into study selected from the ward. The statistical analysis done by unpaired t-test and Chi square test analyzed by SPSS 19 version software. Result: In our study we have seen that The average age of Patients of Stroke was 60 ± 4.56 Yrs. and Patients without Stroke was 61±3.76 Yrs. which was comparable with each other (t=1.23,df=399,p>0.05) . The male and Female ratio In both the group was comparable with each other 1.25 and 1.35 which was also comparable with each other (X2=0.129,df=1,p>0.05). The values were significantly higher in Patients of Stroke like Cholesterol 230± 7.12 and 205 ±5.64 (t=38.96,df=399,p<0.001); TG - 169 ± 4.5 and 154± 3.45 (t=42.92,df=399,p<0.0001); LDL- 152 ± 5.76 and 132 ± 4.12 (t=47.45,df=399,p<0.001) and HDL was significantly lower in Patients of Stroke i.e. 43± 3.54 and 58 ± 5.78 (t=29.82,df=399,p<0.001) as compared to patients without stroke respectively. Conclusion: it can be concluded from our study that majority of the patients were old and significantly the patients with stroke were having higher values of Cholesterol, LDL, TG and lower values of HDL as compared to the patients without stroke.
