Abstract
Data on all patients admitted in 2008 to the Department of Neurology, Dubrovnik General Hospital, were retrospectively analyzed. In a total of 663 patients, there were 247 (37.25%) stroke patients. Ischemic stroke was diagnosed in 217 (87.85%) and hemorrhagic stroke in 30 (12.15%) patients. In the cohort of stroke patients, there were 136 (55.00%) women and 111 (45.00%) men. The group of patients with ischemic stroke consisted of 124 (57.15%) women and 93 (42.85%) men, and the group of those with hemorrhagic stroke of 12 (40%) women and 18 (60%) men. The majority of patients with ischemic stroke (89.86%) and hemorrhagic stroke (76.66%) were over 60 years of age. Only 9 (4.14%) patients with ischemic stroke and 5 (16.66%) patients with hemorrhagic stroke were employed. The mortality rate was 20.24% in the overall stroke group and 19.35% in the ischemic stroke group. In the group of patients with hemorrhagic stroke, 26.66% of patients died at our Department, however, additional 20% of patients with this type of stroke were transferred to the Hospital Intensive Care Unit or to Departments of Neurosurgery in Split and Zagreb, so precise data on the disease outcome in these patients were missing. Eighteen (7.29%) patients were from other countries, mostly from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The majority of them had ischemic stroke (83.33%) and 12 (66.66%) patients were over 60 years of age.Retrospektivnom analizom obuhvaćeni su podaci o svim bolesnicima liječenim na Neurološkom odjelu Opće bolnice Dubrovnik tijekom 2008. godine. U tom razdoblju hospitalizirano je 663 bolesnika, od čega 247 (37,25%) s moždanim udarom. Ishemijski moždani udar imalo je 217 (87,85%), a hemoragijski moždani udar 30 (12,15%) bolesnika. U ukupnom broju bolesnika s moždanim udarom bilo je 136 (55,00%) žena i 111 (45,00%) muškaraca. U skupini ishemijskih moždanih udara bile su 124 (57,15%) žene i 93 (42,85%) muškarca, a u skupini s hemoragijskim moždanim udarom 12 (40%) žena i 18 (60%) muškaraca. Većina bolesnika s ishemijskim (89,6%) i hemoragijskim (76,66%) moždanim udarom bili su stariji od 60 godina. Samo 9 (4,14%) bolesnika s ishemijskim moždanim udarom i 5 (16,66%) bolesnika s hemoragijskim moždanim udarom su bili zaposleni. Stopa smrtnosti je ukupno iznosila 20,24%; 19,35% za ishemijski i 26,66% za hemoragijski moždani udar. Također, 20% bolesnika s hemoragijskim moždanim udarom premješteno je na Odjel intenzivnog liječenja naše bolnice ili na neurokirurške klinike u Splitu i Zagrebu, pa nisu bili dostupni podaci o ishodu liječenja tih bolesnika. Isto tako, 18 (7,29%) bolesnika je bilo iz drugih zemalja, najviše iz Bosne i Hercegovine. Većina ih je imala ishemijski moždani udar (83,33%), a 12 (66,66%) bolesnika je bilo starije od 60 godina
