Stroke Outpatient Characteristics and Therapy of RSUD-KK West Java Province in 2024
Abstract
Stroke is a medical emergency and remains the second leading cause of death and a major cause of long-term disability worldwide. This study aimed to describe the characteristics and health services provided to stroke patients at the outpatient unit of Occupational Health Hospital (RSUD-KK), West Java Province, during July–September 2024. A descriptive quantitative design was applied using secondary data from the neurology outpatient clinic, pharmacy records, and supporting data from RSUD-KK. The study included 316 patients and 725 prescribed medications. The majority of patients were male (51.27%) and aged 40–65 years (70.6%). Most were returning patients (94%) and covered by national health insurance. Nineteen new stroke cases were identified during the study period, indicating a continuing burden of disease. Hypertension was the most common secondary diagnosis (66.5%). Antihypertensive (34%) and antiplatelet (30.8%) agents were the most frequently prescribed therapies. These findings highlight hypertension as the primary modifiable risk factor among stroke patients. Strengthening hypertension management and optimizing pharmacological therapy in outpatient settings are essential to prevent recurrent stroke and reduce morbidity
