[Epidemiology of stroke at the Clinic of Neurology, Fann University Teaching Hospital, Dakar-Senegal].
Objective: Describe the epidemiology of stroke among patients hospitalized at the Clinic of Neurology , Fann University, Dakar-Senegal.
Methodology: Retrospectively, sociodemographic, medical history and clinical data were collected for patients hospitalized for stroke from January 1st 2001 to November 1st 2003 and to whom a Computed Tomography scan of the brain was done.
Results: The population of study (314 patients) had a mean age of 61.3 years (+/-13.8) and was composed of 56.1% of women. The mean time of admission was 8.4 days (+/-23.5). The leading risk factors of stroke were hypertension, history of stroke and diabetes. Ischemic stroke represented 60.2%. The occurrence of stroke was associated with coma and hypertension. The letality rate was 24.8%.
Conclusion: It is necessary to develop and implement health education program against risk factors for the population to reduce stroke morbidity and mortality.
