摘要
STROKE IN A NEUROLOGY WARD: ETIOLOGIES, COMPLICATIONS AND LENGTH OF STAY INTRODUCTION. purposes of this study were: evaluate complications and length of stay of patients admitted with diagnosis of ischemic stroke (IS) in the acute or subacute phase, in a general Neurology ward in Sao Paulo, Brazil; investigate the influence of age, risk factors for vascular disease, arterial territory and etiology. METHODS. Data from 191 IS patients were collected prospectively. RESULTS. Fifty-one patients (26.7%) presented at least one clinical complication during stay. Pneumonia was the most frequent complication. Mean length of stay was 16.8 -13.8 days. Multivariate analysis revealed a correlation between younger age and lower complication rates (OR=0.92-0.97, p < 0.001). Presence of complications was the only factor that independently influenced length of stay (OR=4.20; CI=1.92-8.84; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION. These results should be considered in the planning and organization of IS care in Brazil. [Rev Assoc Med Bras 2009; 55(3): 313-6]
