Abstrakt:	Introduction: Sudden neurological deficits due to an acute focal vascular injury of the central nervous system is stroke. It is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Dyslipidemia is any abnormality in the parameter of the lipid profile which has been associated with stroke. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with ischemic stroke in the Department of Medicine of a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care centre among admitted ischemic stroke patients from 5 August 2022 to 14 March 2023 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Overnight fasting blood samples were collected for lipid profile. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 79 ischemic stroke patients, 42 (53.16%) (42.09-64.23, at 95% Confidence Interval) had dyslipidemia where high cholesterol was seen in 21 (50%), high triglyceride in 22 (52.38%), high low-density lipoprotein 14 (33.33%) and low high-density lipoprotein in 20 (47.61%). Conclusions: The prevalence of dyslipidemia among ischemic stroke patients was lower than the similar studies done in similar settings. Keywords: cross-sectional studies; dyslipidemia; hyperlipidemias; ischemic stroke.
