| Popis: | A stroke is an abrupt neurological injury caused by alterations in the blood arteries of the brain, resulting in the loss of neurological function. Stroke is the second greatest cause of death in people globally, after ischemic heart disease, and the most prevalent cause of acquired disability. The goal of this study was to determine the levels of lipid profiles in acute stroke patients. From December 2020 until September 2021, the study will be conducted. One hundred males and females’ respondents were included from Ibn-Sena and Al-Salam Teaching hospitals at Mosul City in Iraq. The socio-demographic and clinical data, especially the clinical findings at the time of admission were recorded on a standardized data sheet. Clinical examination and a To confirm the diagnosis, a CT scan of the brain was conducted. A blood sample was taken on the day of admission for total lipid profile analysis. To determine the severity of a stroke, the NIHSS was employed. The patients' functional outcomes were followed for up to three months using a modified Rankin Scale, as follows: good functional (0 - 3), poor functional outcomes (4 - 6). |
