Incidence of stroke in Pakistan

Estimated annual incidence is 250/100,000, translating to 350,000 new cases every year. At a major University hospital with a busy Neurology service in Karachi, 519 patients with stroke were admitted over a 22 month period. In a retrospective analysis of patients admitted with stroke in two major hospitals over an 8 years period, 796/12,454 (6.4%) of consecutive cases admitted in medical units had stroke.

Conclusion
In conclusion stroke is one of the most debilitating issues of the older people. Being nurses we should have the knowledge and skills to handle a patient with stroke. My patient suffered stroke because of diabetes and hypertension. These are the most commonest causes. In order to prevent stroke the prevention of theses diseases is essential.
