Sažetak
The aim of the study was to analyze and present the pattern of hospitalization for stroke at the Division of Neurology, Department of Medicine, Našice General County Hospital, during the 1997 – 2001 period (926 patients in total). The results pointing to stroke as the most common discharge diagnosis in the hospital, and indicating that stroke accounted for 15.9% of all internal and neurologic patients treated at the Department of Medicine, point to the high epidemiologic relevance of stroke. The ratio of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke was 85.8% vs. 14.2%, which is consistent with literature data. Arterial hypertension was most commonly recorded as a risk factor for both ischemic stroke (74.5%) and hemorrhagic stroke (88.6%). An increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus and atrial fibrillation was observed for ischemic stroke, as expected, whereas hypercholesterolemia was more commonly recorded in hemorrhagic stroke, i.e. in as many as 43.5% vs. 36.5% in ischemic stroke. Concerning mortality rates, clear association with aging was found in 29.3% of cases, with as many as 55.1% of deaths in the >81 age group. A departure from the trend was only observed in the youngest age group (<50 yrs), where an increased death rate could be attributed to the higher prevalence of intracerebral hemorrhage as compared to other age groups. Considering the significant role of neuroradiologic diagnosis for timely identification of the most appropriate therapeutic procedures, we are much less than satisifed with the relatively small number (14%) of brain computed tomography examinations in stroke patients.
