Abstract

Background and Objective: Stroke has various clinical manifestations that can cause low nutritional intake. Stroke patients can also experience recurrent stroke. This study aims to determine the comparison of nutritional status in patients with first and recurrent ischemic stroke based on Body Mass Index (BMI) and Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). Subject and Methods: This study is a comparative analysis of the medical records of patients with first and recurrent ischemic stroke at RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung period 2018−2019. The sample selection method was carried out by consecutive sampling with 118 patients for each group. Data analysis for nominal data was tested by Fisher’s exact test, for ordinal and numerical data tested by Mann Whitney test. Result: A total of 236 subjects in both groups of first and recurrent ischemic stroke patients consisting of 130 men and 106 women with an average age of 56,64±14,60 and 61,75±11,36 years, and the majority had risk factors for hypertension. Based on BMI, the majority of ischemic stroke patients were categorized as normal and obese in the first (33,05%) and obese in recurrent ischemic stroke (37,39%), p>0,05. SGA B rating (64,41% in the first and 66,95% in the recurrent ischemic stroke), p>0,05. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference in the nutritional status of first and recurrent ischemic stroke patients based on SGA and BMI, but the proportion of recurrent ischemic stroke patients had worse nutritional status. The majority of ischemic stroke patients are obese, in contrast to the SGA which shows that patients are mildly-moderately malnourished
