Predictors of In-Hospital Mortality Among Stroke Patients at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Nepal: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and disability, with limited data on in-hospital mortality from low-resource settings. This study aimed to identify predictors of in-hospital mortality among stroke patients at a tertiary care hospital in Nepal. A prospective cohort study was conducted among 120 stroke patients aged ≥ 18 years, enrolled between November 2023 and April 2024. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality following admission. Data was analysed using SAS version 9.4. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards regression were employed to identify predictors of in-hospital mortality. A p-value < .05 was considered statistically significant. The cohort comprised 68.3% ischemic and 31.7% haemorrhagic strokes, with an overall in-hospital mortality rate
