CHARACTERISTICS OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND SERUM GLUCOSE IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE STROKE AT ADMISSION

Abstract

Aims: To describe the characteristics of blood pressure and serum glucose in patients with acute stroke at admission. Objects and Methods: Cross-sectional study, 140 patients were diagnosised acute stroke at Thai Nguyen National Hospital. Results: Ratio of male/female = 2.4/1. The average age: 66.2± 14.2; 83.6% of the patients had hypertension (30.7% grade 1 hypertension and 25.7% grade 3; 15% isolated systolic hypertension); the average blood pressure was 156.1± 29.3/89.1± 12.9 mmHg; 37.9% of the patients had hyperglycemia; the average serum glucose was 7.0 ±2.9mmol/l; 62.8% of cerebral haemorrhage in patients with hypertension, but they had good prognosis (p<0.05). The patients who with both hypertension and hyperglycemia level had bad prognosis (p<0.05). Conclusion: the patients with acute stroke often have hypertension and hyperglycemia at admission.
