Background: Cerebrovascular accident is an injury to the brain as a result of altered blood flow leading to sudden focal neurological deficit.Some laboratory findings have been proposed as prognostic factors. Also, laboratory findings have been a part of prognosis estimation in many studies. This Study was proposed to study the hematological parameters in ischemic and hemorrhagic infarcts. Methodology: This study was done as a retrospective descriptive study at Saveetha Medical College, during the period of December 2020 and May2021.The study includes 130 CVA cases, of which 83 were ischemic and 47 were hemorrhagic cases. Hematological parameters were obtained using Sysmex Automated Analyzer XN-1000. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS software version 23, with descriptive and independent t test. The level of significance was taken as p value<0.05. Results:The common age group of CVA ranges from 51-60 years in ischemic infarct and 58-66 years in hemorrhagic infarct. Both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke have a slight male preponderance. Most hematological parameters including Hb, RDW, MCH, MCHC, TC, neutrophils showed significant changes on comparing ischemic and hemorrhagic infarcts. Platelet count, PDW and PCT also had significant difference: Conclusion: In this study, hematological parameters of CVA patients were greatly altered. Platelet indices had more significance. Furthermore similar studies has to be done comparing ischemic and hemorrhagic infarcts as these are easily available, cost-effective to predict the onset and prognosis of stroke.
