A Clinical Study of Plasma Fibrinogen Level in Ischemic Stroke
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Introduction: In urban India, stroke accounts for 1% mortality of all hospital admissions, 4% in all medical cases, and about 20% in all disorders of central nervous system. Most cerebrovascular accidents are manifest by the abrupt onset of focal neurologic deficit as if the patient is “struck by the hand of the God.” Aims and Objectives of the Study: This study aims to detect the plasma fibrinogen levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Materials and Methods: Fasting plasma fibrinogen level of 50 consecutive patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke admitted in Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Warangal, from August 2012 to August 2014 and compared with 50 controls not suffering from stroke with matched age, sex, and risk factors. Observations and Results: The present study was undertaken in the Department of General Medicine. A total of 100 patients age, sex, and matched were recruited from Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Warangal, for the present study, of which 50 subjects constituted the control group called as Group A and remaining 50 subjects constituted the study group called as Group B. Conclusion: Fasting plasma fibrinogen levels of cases were compared to fasting plasma fibrinogen levels of age, sex, and risk factor-matched controls selected randomly at Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Warangal.
