ABSTRACT
Introduction: Cerebrovascular disease is the third cause of death worldwide. Objective: To determine the predictive factors of death that influence patients with ischemic stroke.Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016 in Güines municipality. the sample was selected using a probabilistic sampling by strata to separate the patients diagnosed with ischemic stroke in two groups: living and deceased. Subsequently, a simple random sampling was carried out. The sample consisted of 89 patients with a diagnosis of stroke and alive at hospital discharge and 89 patients who died of ischemic stroke during hospital admission.
Results: The largest number of patients alive and deceased with ischemic stroke was the age group 70-79 years, 80 in total. Hypertension and hyperlipemia predominated in both groups. Hyperuricemia and hyperglycemia were found in the complementary tests for both groups. In the electrocardiogram, the prolonged QT interval showed a higher percentage value in the deceased patients than in those alive (49 % and 17 % respectively).
Conclusions: We found factors influencing death due to ischemic stroke as the age group 70-79 years, hypertension, smoking habit, hyperlipidemia and corrected QT interval in the electrocardiogram.
