A clinical study of stroke
The records of 99 Saudis (68 males and 31 females) admitted to the King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU) over a two-year period were reviewed. There was a male to female ratio of 2.2:1. Eighty-five (86%) patients were above 44 years old. All the patients under 44 years old were males. The major predisposing factors identified were hypertension (65%), diabetes mellitus (36%), cardiac disease (20%) and cigarette smoking (29%). The combination of hypertension and diabetes mellitus seemed to carry a higher risk especially in women. Motor dysfunction, encountered in 95 (96%) patients was the dominant clinical feature, and presented mainly as hemiparesis (83 out of 95). Impaired level of consciousness at presentation carried a poor prognosis particularly in the elderly.
