| Summary: | Background: Stroke is characterized by the sudden loss of blood circulation to an
area of the brain, resulting in a corresponding loss of neurologic function. Broadly,
strokes are classified as either hemorrhagic or ischemic. It is difficult to be sure
clinically about the type of stroke in majority of cases as there is no specific
differentiating feature. Infarct stroke can cause functional disability, in patient with
infarct stroke functional disability can be seen in Activities of Daily Living (ADL).
Activities of Daily Living (ADL) is a term used in healthcare to refer to daily selfcare
activities within an individual's place of residence, in outdoor environments, or
both. CT scan is a standard of care in stroke imaging. Volumetric estimations of
cerebral infarctions can be estimated by MSCT and their prognostic value have been
studied widely. Lesion volumes have been shown to correlate with clinical outcomes.
Methods: This study was a cohort observational non experimental study. The study
population consisted of 54 patients with infarct stroke, admission in Dr. Sardjito
Central General Hospital between October 2011 and February 2012 (according to
inclusion and exclusion criteria). Collected data was proccessed and statistically
analyzed using correlation test ( Spearman) with p < 0,05. Correlation between
factors, other than infarct volume and ADL will be analyzed using multivariate
analysis. Volume infarct thought to be significantly correlated positively with
Activities of Daily Living in patient infarct stroke.
Result: The infarct volume corrrelated negatively with Activities of Daily Living
(ADL). Activities of Daily Living (ADL) which is represented by Barthel Index score
II measured one month after stroke (r = 0,358 dan p = 0,070 ).
Conclusion: There is no significantly positive correlation between infarct volume
and activities of daily living in infarct stroke in one month observation of Barthel
Index II. The multivariate analisis linear regresion showed there is no significancy
correlation between these variable variable with Barthel Index score II measured one
month after stroke.
