Association between Admission Blood Pressure, Stroke Severity and Early Outcome in Thrombolysed Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Single Centre Experience from Northeast India
Author(s): Akshay Bhutada* and Marami Das
BACKGROUND
Admission Blood Pressure (BP) is often elevated in acute ischemic stroke and may influence stroke severity and outcomes, especially in patients receiving thrombolysis. This relationship remains understudied in Northeast Indian populations.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the association between admission BP, stroke severity (NIHSS) and early outcome (modified Rankin Scale and in-hospital mortality) among thrombolysed ischemic stroke patients. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study conducted at a tertiary care centre in Northeast India. Data were collected from 29 ischemic stroke patients who underwent intravenous thrombolysis. Admission BP, NIHSS scores, mRS at discharge and in-hospital mortality were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and subgroup comparisons were used.
