Background: Haemorrhagic stroke is a major cause of mortality worldwide, however, patient outcomes rely heavily on available treatment modalities. There is an abject paucity of medical literature concerning determinants of patient outcome in Andaman & Nicobar Islands, which lie far removed from the Indian mainland, especially since surgical facilities available here are significantly less than those available in the Indian mainland. Aim: To examine clinical outcomes and course of treatment of patients with Haemorrhagic Stroke, within the acute-hospitalisation Department of Medicine, GB Pant Hospital, Port Blair, Andaman & Nicobar Islands.Methods:The study is prospective observational in nature, and follows patients admitted to the hospital in the months of July 2022 to September 2022.Results: Patients treated in GB Pant Hospital, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, were found to be at a statistically significant higher risk of mortality as compared to their counterparts in main-land India (p=0.01615). 85.72% patients, inspite of being advised Neurosurgical evaluation, could not avail it.Conclusion: The authors conclude that in-hospital mortality rate of Haemorrhagic stroke in Andaman & Nicobar Islands is higher than that in mainland India, and hypothesise that the cause for this is lack of Neurosurgical amenities in Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
