Abstract

Introduction: cerebrovascular disease is one of the main causes of long-term disability, with a high incidence of transient brain ischemic attacks.

Objective: to determine the behavior of clinical-epidemiological variables in patients admitted with the diagnosis of transient brain ischemic attacks at Roberto Rodriguez Fernandez General Provincial Teaching Hospital from Moron municipality, Ciego de Avila province.

Method: an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted during the period from September 2019 to January 2020. The target group consisted of 39 patients, working with all of them. Descriptive statistics was used, by distribution of data according to absolute and relative percentage frequency.

Results: there was a predominance of patients aged 60 years and over (82,1 %) and male sex (66,7 %); high blood pressure (74,3 %) was the main risk factor for the development of a transient brain ischemia attack; 46,2 % of the patients attended the hospital 24 hours after the onset of symptoms. Of the patients, 46,2 % attended the hospital within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms.

Conclusions: patients older than 60 years, as well as male patients, hypertensive and/or smokers were prone to the development of transient brain ischemic attack. Attendance at health services after 24 hours was common.
