Introduction: Stroke outcomes in patients with LDL levels Method: The study includes patients admitted for stroke and LDL Result: Among 469 patients admitted for the stroke, 119(25%) patients had LDL 14) respectively vs 57.4%, 24.6% and 18% in group A. Mortality was higher in group B in patients admitted with moderate (33.3% vs 13.3%) and severe NIHSS score(18.2% vs 6.7%). Within group B, patients who were started on statin during admission had a lower modified Rankin Scale (mRS) on discharge, compared to patients who were not started on statin(mRS 0 36.6% vs 0%, mRS 4-17.1% vs 29.4%, mRS 5- 9.8% vs 17.6%). Also, mortality was higher in patients not started on statin. Conclusion: Patients who were not on statins had higher incidence of hemorrhagic stroke, worse functional status on discharge, and higher mortality than those who were already on statin. Patients who were started on statin during index admission had better functional status on discharge and lower mortality than patients who were never started on statin. Our study highlights the better outcomes at discharge with statin use in stroke patients with LDL
