Background: Stroke is a non communicable disease of increasing importance. Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in the world. Individual who suffered from stroke are at high risk of suffering recurrent stroke. So it is important to establish the risk factor for secondary prevention. The aim of this study is to find out the association of risk factor of recurrent stroke and it helps to take steps to reduce recurrent stroke. Materials and methods: This is a cross sectional observational case control study was conducted at Dhaka Medical College Hospital during 1st January to 31 December 2011. Definition was followed by WHO stroke manual. Results: In this study two leading risk factors were found hypertension and smoking respectively 78% and 72%. Among risk factors others were diabetes 56%, dyslipidemia 24%, cardiac diseases (AF, IHD, Valvular heart disease) 22%, Mean age of patient 61.09. Ischemic stroke found in 68% and haemorrhagic in 32% of patient. Conclusion: The common risk factors of stroke are also attributed to risk factor of stroke. Noncompliance to drug and life style modification also important cause of recurrent stroke. JCMCTA 2022 ; 33 (1) : 93-96

BackgroundNeurologic disorders are not uncommon at in patient departments of different hospitals. We have conducted the study to see the pattern and burden of neurologic disorders at different inpatient departments of a tertiary care centre.MethodologyThis retrospective observational study was carried out from the records and referral notes of neurology department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) from July 2011 to June 2012. A total 335 patients were evaluated by consultant neurologists during this period.ResultMajority of the patients (59.7%) presented after the age of forty years. The mean age at presentation was 45.11 ± 17.3 years with a male predominance (63.3%). Stroke was the most common condition (47.5%) observed at referral, followed by seizure (9.3%), disease of spinal cord (7.8%) and encephalopathy (6.3%). Even after consultation, 30 patients remained undiagnosed and 6 were diagnosed as functional disorder. Department of Medicine (231, 69%) and Cardiology (61, 18.2%) made most of the calls. More than half (56%) of the stroke patients were referred from medicine and one third (35.2%) from cardiology. Seizure (67.7%), problem in spinal cord (92.3%), coma (50%), encephalopathy (57.1%), motor neuron disease (MND) (72.7%) were common reasons for referral from department of Medicine. Whereas patients with cord disease (7.3%), CNS tumor (40%), seizure disorder (6.5%) and stroke (3.8%) were referred from surgery. Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology sought help for stroke (2.5%), seizure (12.9%), MND (27.3%), coma (16.7%) and encephalopathy (9.5%).Hypertension, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, dyslipidaemia and respiratory problem were significantly associated co-morbid conditions in stroke patients (at 95% CI, p value is <0.001, <0.01, <0.001, <0.05, <0.05 respectively). Hematological disorders were common association among patients with cord problem (<0.05).ConclusionWide ranges of neurological problems are often managed by physicians and surgeons, especially those from medicine and cardiology. Where ever available consultation from neurologists can help in diagnosing and managing these cases.
