Aim: To comparative study between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke severity on patients in Jalgaon by NIH and mRS scale.

Relevance of Study: The stroke is one of the leading cause of impairments and disability. Due to long term impairments and disabilities the activity of daily livings in the individuals of stroke is limited and dependent. For that prior discharge checking or assessing of impairments and disabilities in patients is crucial. So that we can understand about the level of recovery in patients. Which is helpful in rehabilitation of patients. So the present study will be carried out.

Methodology: In this comparative observational study 108 patients are included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Evaluation of impairments was assessed by using National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and evaluation of disabilities are calculated by using Modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

Result: Among 108, 54 patients are suffered from ischemic stroke and another 54 patients are suffered from hemorrhagic stroke. The independent paired t- tests were used to compare ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients in NIH and mRS Scales. The study resulted that the mean deviation of NIH stroke scale score at time of discharge in ischemic stroke (MD=6.56) i.e. 85.3% and the mean deviation of NIH Stroke scale score at time of discharge in hemorrhagic stroke (MD= 7.50) i.e. 97.52%. The mean deviation of mRS score at time of discharge in ischemic stroke (MD= 2.63) i.e. 85.66% and the mean deviation mRS score at time of discharge in hemorrhagic stroke (MD= 3.00) i.e. 97.71%.

Conclusion: The hemorrhagic stroke showed more impairments and disabilities than ischemic stroke at time of discharge from hospitals in acute stroke patients.
