A Study of Short-Term Outcome of Ischemic Cerebro Vascular Accident Patients with Special Reference to Serum Uric Acid at Presentation

Background Ischemic CVA is is the most common life threatening neurological disease. Assesment of prognosis of ischemic CVA patient with respect of uric acid level as a risk factor to prevent mortality & morbidity have great impact on public health. Aim of the study Our objective is to find out the effect of Serum Uric acid level on short term outcome of ischemic CVA patient. Materials & Methods we did retrospective study in general medicine department of SSKM hospital, Kolkata on 2011-2012. Our study included 100 patients of ischemic CVA. We did a detailed laboratory investigation including serum uric acid level, detailed clinical examination. We collected Data according to hospital regulation after approval by hospital authorities & analyzed data with help of statistical method by using software. Discussion in our study we found hyperurecemia in 17 male patients & 23 female, hyperurecemia in 40 % of our stroke patients. We found Ischemic CVA patient with hyperurecemia at admission prognostically bad than patient with normal uric acid level. Results In our study serum uric acid levels correlate with severity of ischemic CVA. We found statistically significant correlation between serum uric acid & severity of ischemic CVA. Conclusionhyperurecemia is found to be associated with less chance of good outcome of ischemic CVA patients. Ischemic, investigation, uric acid.
