Abstract

Background: Stroke may result in the decline of a patient’s nutritional status, which has a detrimental impact on functional recovery and mortality rate. Studies showed that 6–31% of nutritional deficiency is found before stroke, and tends to worsen during hospital admission. The objective of this study is to describe the nutritional characteristics of acute ischemic stroke patients in the Stroke Corner of General Hospital Haji Adam Malik in 2021.

Method: This descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach is carried out using secondary data collected from the medical records of acute ischemic stroke patients at the General Hospital Haji Adam Malik Stroke Corner in 2021. In this study, characteristic data are analyzed along with the nutritional status using the MUST score, malnutrition risk factors, the NIHSS score severity, and the stroke outcome using mRS score.

Results: It is discovered that out of the 40 participants, men were more common than women, with a mean age of 59.38 ± 12.29. Based on the MUST score, 37.5% had a moderate risk of malnutrition. The most common risk factors for malnutrition included hypertension and diabetes mellitus, followed by older age, cardiac disease, hyperlipidemia, and infectious disease. Based on the NIHSS score, 57.5% had moderate severity. Furthermore, based on the mRS score, 52.5% of subjects were predicted to have a poor outcome.

Conclusion: It is concluded that the majority of the participants in this study are male patients with normal body mass index, a moderate risk of malnutrition, a moderate NIHSS score, a poor outcome, as well as a risk of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.
