| الوصف: | Introduction The burden of stroke can be substantially studied by establishing the functional consequences of stroke and its predictors on the population, economy and to guide rehabilitation efforts. This study aims to determine the subtypes, risk factors, and epidemiology of stroke in Jordan. Methods: A retrospective cohort study design was carried out to determine the risk factors and subtypes of stroke during 2017–2018. The study sample included 176 ischemic stroke patients of the King Abdullah University Hospital. Data was collected through medical records, which was then statistically analysed through frequencies and percentages. Results: Total 176 cases were identified out of which 101 (57.38%) were males and 75 (42.61%) were females and male to female ratio was 1.9:1. Hypertension was the commonest risk factor identified (50.56%), followed by diabetes mellitus (19.88%), hyperlipidaemia (15.34%), coronary artery disease (6.25%), atrial fibrillation (4.54%), and past history of stroke (1.13%). Risk factors such as hypertension (p = 0.007), diabetes (p = 0.000), coronary artery disease (p = 0.000) were significantly associated with subtypes of ischemic strokes. Conclusion: The study concludes that mean age of men was higher as compared to women in small vessel occlusion. The risk of ischemic stroke in patients with dyslipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension was higher in middle-aged and old patients. Highlights • A Snapshot of Ischemic Stroke Risk Factors, Sub-Types, and its Epidemiology. • Risk of ischemic stroke is with dyslipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. • Control and treatment of hypertension and dyslipidaemia should be prioritized. • Risk of ischemic stroke is higher among middle and old aged patients. |
