Abstract:
Prospective data were collected on consecutive patients admitted to Khartoum Teaching Hospital with a diagnosis of stroke. Risk factors and clinical characteristics were assessed by neurological examination and computed tomography scan. A total of 128 patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 74 (57.8%) were men. The age (mean+/-standard deviation) of the patients was 53+/-18.5 years. Eighty-five (66.4%) and 43 (33.6%) patients had ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, respectively. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking, heart disease and hypercholesterolaemia were the risk factors for stroke. Thus, further studies are needed on stroke. Hypertension should be discovered early and treated effectively.
