Abstract
Background: Although most stroke patients are above the age of 65, 10% of stroke victims are estimated to be under the age of 45. There is evidence that young individuals are experiencing an increasing rate of ischemic stroke, while the reasons for this rise are unclear. Stroke in younger people calls for different research and treatment than in older people. Neurosonology aids in the diagnosis and post-interventional assessment of carotid artery disease in patients having carotid revascularization procedures.
Objective: This study aimed to study the incidence and risk factors of ischemic stroke in young adults.
Patients and Methods: We recruited patients with ischemic stroke older than 18 years and younger than 45 years admitted to medical wards I, II, and III, PUMHS Hospital, within the first week of the acute event.
Results: Analysis was done for 151 (72.2%) ischemic strokes out of 209 young stroke patients. The most common risk factors for ischemic stroke included hypertension in 75 (49.7%), followed by diabetes mellitus in 32 (21.2%). Cardiac disease, smoking, and previous stroke were found in 18 (11.9%), 14 (9.3%), and 21 (13.9%) patients, respectively. The mean GCS score of ischemic stroke patients was 10.6 ± 3.7. The mean GCS score indicated mild ischemic stroke.
Conclusion: The findings of this study showed that predominant risk factors for ischemic stroke among young people in the local area include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiac disease, and smoking.
