Stroke remains one of the most devastating of all neurological diseases, often causing death or gross physical impairment or disability. The global burden of stroke is high, inclusive of increasing incidence, mortality, DALYs, and economic impact, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. As a result, identifying factors that predict survival, discharge disposition, length of hospital stay, functional, and neurological state after stroke has been subject of much research. It has been argued that certain subgroups of the stroke population may benefit more than others from specific rehabilitation services and that, in order to achieve the most efficient use of such services, it is important to identify predictors that discriminate between stroke patients with good and poor prognoses. In this experiment, we are going to investigate the correlation of the serum albumin level and the consciousness level in hemorrhagic stroke patients, using Glasgow Coma Scale. Identification of predictors of neurological state is vital so that prompt therapeutic measures could be instituted to improve outcome.
