✅   Blood pressure variability and mortality in patients admitted with acute stroke in a tertiary care stroke centre (2016-2019): a retrospective cohort study

Objectives The influence of short-term variations in blood pressure (BP) in acute stroke on clinical outcomes remains uncertain. Our study explores the relationship between BP variability (BPV) from stroke admission up to 72 hours and in-hospital and 1-year mortality. Design Retrospective observational cohort study. Setting Hamad General Hospital (HGH) a tertiary care stroke centre in Qatar. Participants 2820 participants were initially included. After the exclusion of ineligible subjects, 2554 patients (82.5% male, median age 53±9 years) were included. 893 (34.96%) were from the Middle East and North Africa, 1302 (50.98%) were from South Asia, 258 (10.10%) from Southeast Asia, 9 (0.35%) were from East Asia and 92 (3.60%) were from other regions.
