Background Neurological disorders have become a global disease burden and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Objective The objective of the study was to identify the most common neurological diseases at Referral Neuroscience Hospital in Bangladesh. Methodology It is a retrospective study. It was conducted at the Referral Neuroscience Hospital in Bangladesh with the assistance of the neurology department. The study was carried out from January to June 2024. Data from the past five years were documented in this study. All the required data were obtained from the National Neuroscience Hospital's yearbook covering 2018 to 2022. Information on the number of cases, their gender, type of disease, and the age of the patients was gathered and analyzed in Microsoft Excel (Redmond, USA). Results According to our investigation, stroke is seen to be the most common neurological disease among the top 10. It accounted for 26,971 patients. Intracerebral brain hemorrhage (ICH) had the highest number of patients (14169 cases), while acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) had 8997 and 3805 patients, respectively. The number of patients for the other diseases was lower than two thousand. The third disease with the highest number of patients after stroke is Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), with 1625 cases. Meningoencephalitis has 1484 cases. The remaining diseases have less than a thousand cases. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) has 671 patients, and idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) has almost half of that number (377 cases). Metabolic encephalitis and central nervous system tuberculosis (CNS TB) have nearly the same number of patients, with 592 and 575 cases, respectively. Peripheral neuropathy has the fewest patients at 295. Moreover, the number of male patients outnumbered female patients, with over 50.0% of patients being male for most diseases. During the years from 2018 to 2022, it is clear that the number of patients increased exponentially (2018: 4810 cases, 2019: 5428 cases, 2020: 6684 cases, and 2021: 8319 cases). However, in 2022, the number of patients was lower than the previous year (7201 cases) but still greater than in the rest of the years. The majority of patients were aged between 41 and 60. Conclusion In conclusion, stroke is seen to be the leading ailment, comprising almost 82% of the cases, whereas all the other seven diseases only held 18% of the cases. Regarding the male-female ratio of the cases, male patients were higher in number than female patients. The ages of the patients who were most admitted to the hospital were between 41 and 60. Moreover, the pre-COVID period (2018 and 2019) had a lower number of cases than the COVID period (2020 and 2021).
神经系统疾病已成为全球疾病负担以及发病和死亡的主要原因。
本研究的目的是确定孟加拉国转诊神经科学医院最常见的神经系统疾病。
这是一项回顾性研究。在孟加拉国转诊神经科学医院神经内科的协助下开展。研究于2024年1月至6月进行。本研究记录了过去五年的数据。所有所需数据均来自国家神经科学医院2018年至2022年的年鉴。收集了病例数量、性别、疾病类型和患者年龄等信息，并在美国雷德蒙德的Microsoft Excel中进行分析。
根据我们的调查，中风是十大最常见的神经系统疾病之一。它占26971名患者。脑内出血（ICH）患者数量最多（14169例），而急性缺血性中风（AIS）和蛛网膜下腔出血（SAH）分别有8997例和3805例患者。其他疾病的患者数量低于两千。中风后患者数量第三多的疾病是吉兰 - 巴雷综合征（GBS），有1625例。脑膜脑炎有1484例。其余疾病的病例数不到一千例。脑静脉窦血栓形成（CVST）有671名患者，特发性颅内高压（IIH）的患者数量几乎是其一半（377例）。代谢性脑炎和中枢神经系统结核病（CNS TB）的患者数量几乎相同，分别为592例和575例。周围神经病变患者最少，为295例。此外，男性患者数量超过女性患者，大多数疾病中男性患者占比超过50.0%。在2018年至2022年期间，很明显患者数量呈指数增长（2018年：4810例，2019年：5428例，2020年：6684例，2021年：8319例）。然而，2022年患者数量低于上一年（7201例），但仍高于其他年份。大多数患者年龄在41岁至60岁之间。
总之，中风被视为主要疾病，占病例的近82%，而其他七种疾病仅占18%的病例。关于病例的男女比例，男性患者数量多于女性患者。入院患者年龄大多在41岁至60岁之间。此外，新冠疫情前时期（2018年和2019年）的病例数低于新冠疫情时期（2020年和2021年）。
