Short-term Survival of Stroke Patients According to Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke Type in National Brain Center Hospital Jakarta

Background & Objectives: Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world. The aim of this study was to identify a short-term (30 days) survival of stroke patients according to hemorrhagic (HS) and ischemic (IS) stroke type in National Brain Center Hospital Jakarta.

Method: A cohort retrospective study. Acute first-ever stroke inpatients were included in this study. The sample consists of 134 HS and 134 IS and recorded in medical record from January 1 to November 30, 2018. All study patients were followed-up from diagnosis time to event (death). The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival probability and Cox Regression to investigate the effect of variables.

Results: Survival at 30 days was higher for IS (91,8%) than HS (78,3%) of the first-ever stroke (p < 0,05). Mean survival time of IS (27 days) was longer than HS (23 days). The risk of death for HS was (HR = 2,78;95% CI 1,385 – 5,591) times greater than the risk of death for IS in National Brain Center Hospital Jakarta(p < 0,05).

Conclusions: Survival probability IS was higher than HS within 30 days of the first-ever stroke (p < 0,05).
