 was female, 194 cases (%84) was ischemic type vs. 36 (%16) hemorrhagic, P<0001. The difference in underlying disease was statistically significant (168 patients (%73) Hypertension, 121 (%52.6) Diabetes Mellitus, 118 (%51.3) Cardiac Disease, 108 (%46.9) Hyperlipidemia, 58 (%25.2) Smoking and 46 patients (%20) had the Opioid addiction, P<0001). Hypertension was statistically significant and increased in hemorrhagic subtype (25 patient (%70) Intracerebral vs. 11 patient (%30) Subarachnoid, P=0.01). The difference in Cardiac disease (p<0.0001), Diabetes Mellitus (p<0.001), Smoking (p<0.001), Opioid Addiction (p<0.04) was statistically significant and increased in Intracerebral patients. Up to the first week of hospitalization, 10%of stroke patients (7% elderly, 3% non-elderly) were expired. Conclusions: Hypertension was most frequent stroke risk factor especially in Intracerebral Hemorrhage and male patients. High smoking was seen in Intracerebral Hemorrhage. The early mortality rate in stroke patients was low. It suggests that health ministry do screening plan in nonelderly, especially female, male with Hypertension and smoking consider as target population.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/893.jpg)

Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Data on the epidemiology of stroke, patterns and risk factors in recent years in our region are brief. Methods and Material: This retrospective study from 2014 to 2015 on stroke patients in Ayatollah Rouhani hospital in Babol was conducted. The MRS and Barthel index were used at admission and discharge of stroke patients. Patient’s demographic data and checklist used to identify stroke types, risk factors and early prognosis. Findings: A total of 230 patients were included in this study, 122 patients (53%) was female, 194 cases (%84) was ischemic type vs. 36 (%16) hemorrhagic, P<0001. The difference in underlying disease was statistically significant (168 patients (%73) Hypertension, 121 (%52.6) Diabetes Mellitus, 118 (%51.3) Cardiac Disease, 108 (%46.9) Hyperlipidemia, 58 (%25.2) Smoking and 46 patients (%20) had the Opioid addiction, P<0001). Hypertension was statistically significant and increased in hemorrhagic subtype (25 patient (%70) Intracerebral vs. 11 patient (%30) Subarachnoid, P=0.01). The difference in Cardiac disease (p<0.0001), Diabetes Mellitus (p<0.001), Smoking (p<0.001), Opioid Addiction (p<0.04) was statistically significant and increased in Intracerebral patients. Up to the first week of hospitalization, 10%of stroke patients (7% elderly, 3% non-elderly) were expired. Conclusions: Hypertension was most frequent stroke risk factor especially in Intracerebral Hemorrhage and male patients. High smoking was seen in Intracerebral Hemorrhage. The early mortality rate in stroke patients was low. It suggests that health ministry do screening plan in nonelderly, especially female, male with Hypertension and smoking consider as target population.
