Abstract :
Aims: To determine the correlation between
blood pressure and clinical improvement status of
patients with an acute ischemic stroke which measures
using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale
(NIHSS). Methods: A cross-sectional was used in this
research. Participants of the study were patients with
acute ischemic stroke in Seruni room, Dr. Soetomo
Hospital Surabaya, Indonesia. Blood pressure
measurements are classified according to JNC7, while
improvement in clinical severity is defined using NIHSS.
Data were analysed using SPSS version V.23 with
significances of p<0.05. Results: There were 60
participants with 51 hypertension patients (85%). From
all participants, we found that about 36 patients (60%)
showed NIHSS improvement. The Chi-Square
correlation test analysis indicates a significant
correlation between hypertension and improvement in
the degree of clinical severity (p=0.045, RR at 6.571)
95% CI (0.765-56.469). Conclusion: There is a
correlation between blood pressure and clinical severity
improvement as measured using the NIHSS.
