Popis: Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of economic burden in the Low Middle Income countries (LMIC’s). We want to study the outcome of acute strokes treated under Government scheme with minimal package (For Ischemic Stroke - 257 USD & For hemorrhagic stroke - 399 USD), but offered evidence-based stroke care other than thrombolysis. Methods: From January 2021 to March 2021, a total of 350 cases were treated in our Ankineedu stroke center. Out of these 125 (36%) acute stroke patients are treated under subsidized economical stroke care from admission to discharge. In-patient mortality, 3 months follow up and 1 year follow up recorded. All patients received standard medical treatment in Stroke unit with Antiplatelets, statins, DVT prophylaxis, Antihypertensives, dysphagia assessment, physiotherapy and Neurosurgery when required. All basic stroke investigations done - CT scan, MRI scan, MR Angio, Neck vessel doppler, Lipids, Renal Function test, RBS, ECG and ECHO. All patients discharged on secondary prevention. Average length of stay is 10 days. Results: There were 94 men and 31 women, age ranged from 18 years to 85 years (median 55 yrs). Type of stroke: Ischemic Stroke -74% and Haemorrhagic stroke - 26%, 4 patients (3.2%) underwent Neurosurgery. Risk factors: Hypertension - 82 (66%), Diabetes - 45 (36%), Cardiac problems - 17 (13.6%), Smoking - 20 (16%), Alcohol - 15 (12%). Total In-house mortality 5 (4%) and the remaining patients outcome at 3 months - Good outcome with modified rankin scale (mRS) 0-2 in 83 patients (66%), Fair Outcome with mRS (3-4) - 35 (28%), 1 patient (0.8%) bedridden and 1 patient (0.8%) died at home. Out of 125 patients, 60 patients (48%) came for 1 year follow up, of these 88% had mRS (0-2), 12% had mRS (3-5). Conclusion: In resource poor countries we can offer basic stroke care model to all needy patients with reasonable outcome. However, the follow up needs to be strengthened.
