Comparison of Serum Uric acid levels with Outcomes in patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Abstract

Abstract

Objective: To determine the link between uric acid levels and outcomes in acute stroke (infarct) at POF hospital, Wah Cantt.

Study Design: Cross sectional, observational study

Place and duration of study: Department of Medicine, Pakistan Ordinance Factories Hospital, Wah Cantt from 10-07-2023 to 09-01-2024.

Patients and Methods: We included100 patients in our study. All patients underwent serum uric acid level during their admission. After 78 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, and the p-value is <0.001.

Conclusion: Serum uric acid levels are significantly linked with the Modified Rankin Score while considering the disease prognosis in acute cerebral infarction.
