BACKGROUND: We studied the association of causes and stroke outcome of stroke in the young in Thailand.
METHODS: A retrospective study was performed at Srinagarind Hospital, Khon Kaen University, Thailand. All patients under 45 years of age who were diagnosed with stroke between 1996 and 2010 and who had complete workups for causes of stroke in the young were enrolled. Stroke outcome was defined as favorable or nonfavorable at approximately 1 year of follow-up. If the patient had normal functional ability or mild disability but the patient was fully employed, the outcome was classified as favorable. Clinical features of strokes and the potential stroke risk factors were compared between the favorable and nonfavorable groups.
RESULTS: Eighty-five patients were enrolled. About half of patients were male (47 patients; 55.3%). The mean age (SD) was 35.9 (6.2) years. Three-fourths of male patients had a stroke after 30 years of age, while female patients developed stroke in all age ranges equally. More than half of patients (45 patients; 52.9%) had cardiac causes of stroke. Rheumatic mitral stenosis accounted for 68% (31 patients), and 45% (14 patients) had atrial fibrillation. There were 64 patients (79%) who had a favorable outcome. Cardiac causes, particularly mitral stenosis and alcohol intake, were significantly associated with a nonfavorable outcome.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke in the young generally has a favorable outcome. Factors associated with a nonfavorable outcome of stroke in the young were cardiac abnormalities and alcohol intake. A prospective study to evaluate the association of causes and outcome is needed.
