Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and disability in Asian population. Dyslipidemia is considered a major risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases. The study aimed to find the prevalence of dyslipidemia among patients with ischemic stroke in the Department of Medicine of a tertiary care centre.
This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 150 diagnosed cases of ischemic stroke admitted in the Department of Medicine from 1st October, 2020 to 1st October, 2021. The ethical clearance was taken from the Institutional Review Committee (Reference number: 358/2077/78). Fasting blood samples were collected from the patients, serum lipids were measured and atherogenic indices of plasma were calculated. Demographic, anthropometric and cardiovascular risk factors related data were collected. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel 2010 and analysis was using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0. Point estimate at 95% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data, and mean and standard deviation for continuous data.
The prevalence of dyslipidemia among the ischemic stroke patients was 120 (80.00%) (73.60-86.40 at 95% Confidence Interval). High total cholesterol was found in 64 (53.33%) patients, high triglycerides in 70 (58.33%), high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 54 (45.00%) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 51 (42.50%) patients.
The prevalence of dyslipidemia among ischemic stroke patients was higher than the studies done in similar settings.

卒中是亚洲人群发病率和致残率的主要原因之一。血脂异常被认为是各种心血管疾病的主要危险因素。本研究旨在探讨某三级医疗中心内科收治的缺血性卒中患者血脂异常的患病率。
这是一项在 2020 年 10 月 1 日至 2021 年 10 月 1 日期间入住内科的 150 例确诊缺血性卒中患者中进行的描述性横断面研究。本研究已获得机构审查委员会的伦理批准(注册号:358/2077/78)。从患者中采集空腹血样,检测血清脂质,并计算血浆致动脉粥样硬化指数。收集人口统计学、人体测量学和心血管危险因素相关数据。数据输入 Microsoft Excel 2010 中,使用统计软件包(版本 22.0)进行分析。计算 95%置信区间的点估计值,同时对二分类数据进行频率和比例分析,对连续数据进行均值和标准差分析。
缺血性卒中患者中血脂异常的患病率为 120 例(80.00%)(95%置信区间为 73.60-86.40)。64 例(53.33%)患者总胆固醇升高,70 例(58.33%)患者三酰甘油升高,54 例(45.00%)患者低密度脂蛋白胆固醇升高,51 例(42.50%)患者高密度脂蛋白胆固醇降低。
缺血性卒中患者血脂异常的患病率高于类似环境下的研究。
