BACKGROUND: Situation of Non-communicable disease groups. It was the number one health problem in the world. The situation in Thailand from 2017-2022 found an increase in the number of new diagnoses and death cases from stroke patients. For the situation in Trat Province, it was found that the situation of sickness rates tend to be stable. As for the death rate per 100,000 people from stroke, there was a continuous upward trend. Therefore, a research project was organized to study the factors of control disease (hypertension or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type 2) on the severity of stroke and survival rates within 1 year to be used as information for further patient care.
OBJECTIVES: To study factors that influence the severity of stroke and correlate with survival rates within 1 year in Trat Province.
METHODS: This is a retrospective analytic cohort study. Data was collected using a Case Record Form (CRF) to record information on a total of 291 cases of hypertension and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type 2 patients who entered the stroke treatment system at Trat Hospital in the year 2022. Data were analyzed by Chi-square statistics to test the relationship of NCD control with the severity of stroke and using Kaplan-Meier Curve test hypotheses for comparing survival rates using Log-rank test statistics.
