title: Lipid profile among ischemic and haemorrhagic stroke patients.
abstract: This study is a prospective cross- sectional study conducted in the Neurology and Medicine department of Mymensingh Medical college Hospital (MMCH) to see the association of different components of serum lipids among ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients. Cases were selected following certain inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result showed that both types of stroke were more common after the age of 50 years. Male suffered more than female. M:F in ischemic stroke group was 1.73:1, and in hemorrhagic group was 1.42:1. Both types of stroke belong to middle class people. Smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus were equally common in both types of stroke. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) level were more than desired level in both types of stroke and there was no significant difference between two groups (p>0.05). Other components of lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL, Triglyceride) were within normal range and there was no significant difference between two groups (p>0.05).
