Abstract
A total of 160 patients of anterior circulation stroke were analysed for various predictors of early mortality like age, hypertension, diabetes, previous stroke, altered level of consciousness, persistent altered consciousness, seizures, complete hemiplegia, dysphagia, urinary incontinence, raised body temperature and high blood sugar levels on admission. All these parameters were significantly associated with early mortality (i.e. death within 7 days). The mortality rate at the end of first week was 18.1%. Two clinical scoring systems viz. Rodrigues and Joshi's scoring system and Bandolier's prognostic index were used to prognosticate all those patients. Both were highly sensitive in predicting early mortality. A CT based scoring system was also used to prognosticate early mortality and was found to be useful.
