Overweight and obese stroke patients have a more favourable clinical prognosis than normal weight patients.
Objective: To analyze the association of Body Mass Index (BMI) with mortality among hemorrhagic stroke patients in the Unit Stroke, RSUD Banyumas
Methods: Non-experimental study with retrospective approach. Total sample in this study was 111 respondents with non-probability total sampling technique from medical record from November 1, 2018 until November 30, 2019. Bivariate analysis was performed using chi-square.
Result: In total of 111 patients, obtained hemorrhagic stroke patients who died within &#8804-48 hours were 55 respondents (49,5%) and those who died within > 48 hours were 56 respondents (50,5%). Abnormal BMI l (&#8805-25 kg/m2) were 46 patients (41,4%) and normal BMI (<25 kg/m2) were 65 respondents (58,6%). The chi square result obtained p value= 0,045 with OR 2,2189.
