Abstract

Stroke is the leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide. It is thus critical to recognize potential risk factor of cerebral stroke to prevent or minimize morbidity and mortality. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study on 131 patients with stroke in Duc Giang general hospital in 2020. The finding of 131 patients with stroke: 57,25% ischemic stroke and 42,75% hemorrhagic stroke; 28,24% right side paralysis, 22,14% left side paralysis and 3.05% complete paralysis. The result also showed potential risk factors of stroke including: male gender (56,49%), over 60 years of age (66,41%), alcohol consumption (53,44%), current smoking (49,62%), diabetes (23,66%), high blood cholesterol (64,89%), high blood pressure (72,52%), heart disease (15,27%), renal disease (9,16%), infectious disease (21,37%) and thrombophilia (15,27%). As a result, we need solutions to prevent stroke especially among elderly people and people with high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure.
