Abstract

Objective:
To determine the link between uric acid levels and outcome in acute ischemic stroke (infarct).
Study Design:
Cross-sectional, observational study.
Place and Duration of Study:
Department of Medicine, Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) Hospital, Wah Cantt , 06 months (August 2023 to January 2024).
Patients and Methods:
We included 100 patients in our study. All patients underwent serum uric acid level during their admission. After 72 hours, following their admission their Modified Rankin score was calculated and recorded.
Results:
The analysis reveals a strong positive correlation between uric acid levels and the Modified Rankin Score (mRS) in acute stroke(infarction). The Pearson correlation coefficient is 0.920, indicating a very high degree of association with p <0.001.
Conclusion:
Serum uric acid levels are significantly linked with the Modified Rankin Score while considering the disease outcome in acute cerebral infarction.
Kewords:
Acute Ischemic stroke, Prognosis, Uric acid
