Resumo: | Little is known about stroke patients’ awareness about the warning signs of stroke and its therapeutic time window in Brazil.Method We interviewed consecutive patients with acute stroke admitted to a terciary public hospital in Brazil. Data collected included demographics, mode of arrival, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores and knowledge of stroke warning signs and therapeutic time window. Early arrival was defined as within 4.5 hours of symptoms onset. Results Although 66.2% of patients knew the warning signs of stroke, only 7.8% reported to know that stroke had a limited therapeutic time window. Stroke severity measured by the NIHSS was independently associated with early arrival, but not knowledge of stroke signs and symptoms. Conclusion Knowledge about stroke symptoms was not a predictor of early arrival. |

Os dados coletados incluíram dados demográficos, o modo de chegada, escala de AVC do National Institute of Health (NIH) e conhecimento sobre a janela de tempo terapêutica e os sinais de alerta do AVC através de um questionário padronizado. Chegada precoce foi definida como aquela dentro de 4,5 horas do início dos sintomas. Resultados Embora 66,2% dos pacientes sabiam os sinais de alerta do AVC , apenas 7,8% relataram saber que a doença tinha uma janela de tempo terapêutica limitada. A gravidade do AVC avaliada pela escala do NIH foi preditora de chegada precoce, mas conhecimento acerca dos sinais e sintomas do AVC não foram. Conclusão O conhecimento acerca dos sintomas do AVC não foi preditivo de chegada precoce ao hospital.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Departamento de Neurologia e NeurocirurgiaHospital Israelita Albert EinsteinUNIFESP, Depto. de Neurologia e NeurocirurgiaSciELOAcademia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEUROUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Hospital Israelita Albert EinsteinPanício, Maurício IsaacMateus, LucasRicarte, Irapuá FerreiraFigueiredo, Marcelo Marinho de [UNIFESP]Fukuda, Thiago GonçalvesSeixas, Jamile CavalcantiFerraz, Maria ElizabethSilva, Gisele Sampaio [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:47:27Z2015-06-14T13:47:27Z2014-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion938-941application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0004-282X20140167Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria.
