Objective: Acute cerebral stroke is an increasingly common disease with high mortality and disability. Understandings on the clinical characteristics of the acute cerebral stroke patients are of importance in ensuring the evidence-based planning and development of the stroke prevention program in low- and middle- income countries, inclusing Vietnam. This manuscript aims to describe the characteristics of acute cerebral stroke patients admitted to Pho Noi General Hospital in the period of 2018 - 2020.

Methods: We conducted cross-sectional study on a total of 1285 acute stroke patients admitted to Pho Noi General Hospital, Hung Yen province in the period of 2018 - 2020. Descript data analysis was used to analyze clinical characteristics, the duration from onset to hospital, risk factors of these patients. SPSS 23.0 software was used.

Results: There were 1285 acute stroke patients with an mean age of 70.9, 56% were men. The rate of ischemic stroke was 72.3%, of which 18.2% of patients came to the hospital within 4.5 hours from onset and 3.4% of patients received thrombolytic therapy. The common stroke risk factors were hypertension (63.1%), diabetes mellitus (15%), and dyslipidemia (15.5%).

Conclusions: Patients with acute cerebral stroke at Pho Noi General Hospital have similar clinical characteristics to previous studies. Barriers to the timely treatment and prevention of acute cerebral stroke patients at Pho Noi hospital should be further studied and addressed.
