Abstract
Aim – To assess the prognostic value of Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in acute hemorrhagic stroke as
compared to acute ischemic stroke Material And Methods – A Prospective observational study was
conducted at MLN Medical College, Prayagraj. A total of 100 adult patients, 50 each of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke (as per
CT/MRI diagnosis) were enrolled in the study, with onset of stroke within 48 hours, after following inclusion and exclusion
criterias. Result – In-hospital mortality was signicantly higher in hemorrhagic (56%) as compared to ischemic stroke (26%)
(p=0.002). Mean platelet lymphocyte ratio was signicantly higher in hemorrhagic (186.76 +-102.4) as compared to ischemic
stroke (128.83 +- 78.3) (p=0.002). In hemorrhagic stroke, higher PLR showed a signicant association with mortality (p<0.05)
Conclusion – PLR was signicantly higher in hemorrhagic stroke as compared to ischemic stroke and correlated with higher
mortality in hemorrhagic stroke. Therefore, PLR showed a possible prognostic value with respect to mortality in hemorrhagic
stroke patients as compared to ischemic stroke.
