Abstract

Aim of study was to study prevelance of stress hyperglycemia in acute stroke patients.

Methods: This was a observational cross-sectional study, consisting of consecutive 117 patients admitted in emergency medical ward.

Results: Total 117 patients are enrolled in our study. 47 (40.17%) patients were found stress hyperglycemic and it is significant (p-value is 0.0249, result is significant if p value < 0.05). Age group of the stress hyperglycemic patients ranged from 17years to 82 years with maximum (53.19%) patients in the age group of 41years to 60 years. Mean age of patient was 40.27 ± 1.44 years (95% CI 38.83 – 41.71 year, SD – 15.06, SE – 1.44 ). There were 35 (74.47%) stress hyperglycemic male and 12 (25.53%) stress hyperglycemic female patients.

Conclusions: Expected proportion of stress hyperglycemia was observed among stroke patients.
