The Chinese referred it as 黄金时间 .Although rapid stroke treatment presents a great challenge to physicians and may require substantial change in many health care systems, we now have stronger evidence that rapid early treatment offers the best chance of recovery for acute Ischemic stroke patients.”

Stroke in Malaysia

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. It is third leading cause of death among males and is second leading cause of death among female in Malaysia. Every year there are over 45,000 of reported new cases. There are an average of 92 new cases of stroke admitted into hospitals for treatment with about 32 deaths daily. Of these admission, 40% of them are below an age of 60 years old.

A stroke occurs when there is a sudden interruption or loss of blood supply to the brain causing the loss of blood and oxygen to designated brain tissue. Within minutes, the brain tissue and nerve cell started to die causing the loss of brain function.

The interruption of blood flow can be caused by a blockage or rupture of blood vessel leading to bleeding in in the brain.

Types of Stroke

  • Ischaemic Stroke – interruption of blood supply due to blockage in the blood vessel.
  • Haemorrhagic Stroke – rupture of weaken or aneurysm blood vessel.
  • Embolism Stroke – blockage due to some type of travelling mass in the blood stream and most often a little blood clot.
  • TIA Stroke – also known as mini stroke. It is due to temporary interruption of blood flow to the brain and will resolve and recover in 24 hours. This is a warning stroke and should be taken seriously.

The Effects of Stroke

The effects and severity of a stroke depend on which part or area of the brain is affected, and how much brain area damage is involve. Different part and area of the brain control different functions, hence every patient is affected differently.

Strokes may cause,

  • Sudden weakness or paralysis; numbness or loss of sensation.
  • Difficulty with speaking which may include articulation impairment, understanding of language or producing meaningful speech.
  • Eating disorder and swallowing difficulty.
  • Vision disorder such as visual filed loss, double or blurry vision.
  • Cognitive Disorder – affect learning, memory, perception, and problem solving, and include amnesia, dementia, and delirium.
  • Emotional problems – Irritability, short tempered, forgetfulness, careless or confusion
  • Headache and dizziness
  • Loss of balance or coordination

Only about 18% of survivors recovered with no significant disability and able to carry out all pre-stroke activities. While more than 50% of them suffered from moderate to serious long-term disability.

Recovering from a stroke can be a lengthy process that requires patience, hard work, and commitment. It may take years to recover.

With Reference to “Monitoring Stroke Burden in Malaysia (2017)”,

Post-stroke survivors were often burdened with multiple morbidities, with estimates of almost 7 out of 10 stroke-afflicted survivors being
activities of daily living (ADL)-dependent.
The cost of stroke care management that accounted for 33,812 admissions in 2016 alone escalated to almost RM180 million.

Disability at discharge by MRS (Modified Rankin Score)

MRS 0 The patient has no residual symptoms.
MRS 1 The patient has no significant disability; able to carry out all pre-stroke activities.
MRS 2 The patient has slight disability; unable to carry out all pre-stroke activities but able to look after self without daily help.
MRS 3 The patient has moderate disability; requiring some external help but able to walk without the assistance of another individual.
MRS 4 The patient has moderately severe disability; unable to walk or attend to bodily functions without assistance of another individual.
MRS 5 The patient has severe disability; bedridden, incontinent, requires continuous care.

Stroke Risk Factor

With reference to National Stroke Registry (NSR) – Terengganu and Seberang Jaya Experience, statistic data showed that hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor for stroke in our population. Other risk factors were diabetes mellitus (DM), previous stroke or TIA, hyperlipidaemia with mean LDL of 4.1 (± 1.6), and active smoker. Overall, hypertension showed the highest percentage in all stroke subtypes. This finding highlights the significant relationship between stroke and hypertension and the need for prevention of this important risk factor.
