Abstract

Background: Prompt and appropriate treatment in the Emergency Department (ER) is critical to reducing mortality and disability. However, the identification of prognostic factors that can predict patient outcomes is still a challenge. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the factors that contribute to the prognosis of hemorrhagic stroke patients in order to improve the effectiveness of early management in the ER. Objective: This study aims to analyze the prognostic factors that affect the clinical outcomes of hemorrhagic stroke patients in the ER, based on univariate and bivariate data. Methods: This study is a retrospective study with a cross-sectional design involving hemorrhagic stroke patients who are admitted to the ER for a period of time. Data were collected from the patient's medical records and analyzed using descriptive statistics (univariate) as well as bivariate tests (chi-square and logistic regression) to determine the relationship between independent variables (age, blood pressure, level of consciousness, bleeding volume, and comorbidities) with patient outcomes. Results and discussion: Univariate analysis showed that the majority of patients were over 60 years old (68%), with an average blood pressure of 180/100 mmHg. The average Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) is 8, indicating a low level of awareness. Bleeding volumes of more than 30 mL were found in 55% of patients. Bivariate analysis showed that advanced age (p=0.01), high blood pressure (p<0.03), low GCS (p0.001), and large bleeding volume (p=0.002) were significantly associated with increased mortality. Logistic regression analysis showed that low GCS and bleeding volume were the main prognostic factors with odds ratio (OR) values of 4.5 and 3.2, respectively. Conclusions: Advanced age, high blood pressure, decreased consciousness (low GCS), and large bleeding volume are significant prognostic factors in hemorrhagic stroke emergencies. Identification of these factors in the ER can help in clinical decision-making and more optimal therapy planning.
