Background:
Few studies had shown variable correlation between low levels of serum albumin and serum calcium with the size of the infarct and the ultimate prognosis. This study had been planned with following objectives.
Objectives: To study significance of albumin corrected Sr. Calcium levels in predicting immediate and short-term prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). To correlate albumin corrected Sr calcium levels and ionic calcium levels with anthropometric measurements and lipid profile as risk factors in acute ischaemic stroke
Method: In this prospective cross sectional study, data will be gathered from 100 patients with stroke (acute ischemic) from May 2019 to May 2021. Total Serum calcium, ionized calcium and corrected calcium levels will be determined. NIHSS will be calculated on admission and after 1 week, and Barthel Index (BI) was calculated at 1 week. Pearson’s correlation coefficient will be calculated between NIHSS, BI, and IS with both, Ca and CCa. Result: ionized calcium, Sr calcium and albumin-corrected calcium have statistically negative correlation with IS. Ca had a significant correlation with NIHSS, BI, and IS (all patients).
Conclusion: There is no clinico radiological association of serum calcium, ionic calcium and CCa with size of infarct in stroke (acute ischemic). Expected outcome of this research would be weather there is clinico radiological association of Sr calcium, ionic calcium and albumin corrected calcium with size of infarct in stroke (acute ischemic).
