Association of Diabetes with Hyperlipidemia in Stroke Patients at Tertiary Care Centre

Stroke is defined as abrupt onset of neurological deficit that is attributable to focal vascular cause. Elevated levels of lipid are well documented risk for stroke. In this study, we investigated the association between Diabetes Mellitus and Hyperlipidaemia in Stroke patients in Tertiary Care Centre. Total 130 patients of stroke included in hospital based cross sectional study in Department of Medicine from October 2018 to March 2020. All stroke patients diagnosed based on CT scan/ MRI- Brain, reviewed by neurologist. It is found that proportion of Diabetes among Hyperlipidemic Stroke cases were 23.07 % and Non- Diabetic cases were 40 %. Proportion of Diabetes was statistically not significant in Hyperlipidemic stoke cases (pless than0.05).
