Abstract

Objectives: To assess National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), stroke volume, biochemical, and blood parameters for the prediction of one-month mortality in stroke patients Methods: The study had retrospective design and 75 patients were involved that presented to a hospital Emergency Department between January 2016 and December 2017 in Adiyaman, Turkey diagnosed with acute ischemic cerebral infarction. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether mortality occurred within one month. Values for NIHSS, stroke volume, Glasgow Coma Scale, and blood parameters were compared between the groups. Results: Values for Glasgow Coma Scale p =0.002, NIHSS p =0.001, stroke volume p =0.003, monocyte/HDL ratio p =0.047, neutrophils p =0.01, white blood cell p =0.007, calcium p =0.016, and albumin p =0.027 were statistically significant for the prediction of one-month mortality. There were no significant differences between the groups for other parameters. Conclusion: The clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings individually provide significant support for the short-term prognosis of stroke. The evaluation of these results together can provide a clearer advance understanding of a prognosis to better manage the course of the disease and prevent death.
