Association between Vitamin- D Deficiency and Stroke - A Comparative Study
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective: To determine the serum levels of 25-OH Vitamin-D in both ischemic as well as hemorrhagic stroke patients and to determine the magnitude of Vitamin-D deficiency in the study group. To compare Vitamin-D deficiency in the control group with the study group. Materials and Methods: 100 adults above 18 yrs, fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were admitted in KIMS Hospital Bangalore between December 2014 to June 2016 and serum levels of 25-OH Vitamin-D in both ischemic as well as hemorrhagic stroke patients were compared. Results: Statistically significant (p<0.05) values were obtained for low serum vitamin D levels and risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, 57.60% and 52.90% respectively. Conclusion This study shows that a single serum measurement of vitamin D could be a useful marker in predicting future outcomes in respect to stroke. So early identification and correction of vitamin D deficiency can be an important tool to reduce the incidence of Stroke.
