Abstract Stroke remains a leading cause of global mortality and long-term disability, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study aimed to describe the clinical profile and functional outcomes of patients with acute ischaemic stroke and to evaluate the association between admission stroke severity and functional outcomes. A hospital-based observational study was conducted at No. (2), Military Hospital (500-Bedded), Yangon, Myanmar, including 86 patients with imaging-confirmed acute ischaemic stroke recruited using consecutive sampling. Stroke severity was assessed at admission using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), and functional outcomes at discharge were evaluated using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Data were analysed using SPSS, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05. The mean age of patients was 67.6 ± 9.4 years, with a predominance of females (75.6%). Hypertension and dyslipidaemia were the most common risk factors, each present in 50% of patients. Hemiparesis was the most frequent presenting symptom (100%). The majority of patients (81.4%) achieved favourable functional outcomes (mRS 0–2). Although a trend toward poorer outcomes with increasing NIHSS scores was observed, the association was not statistically significant (p = 0.278). In conclusion, patients with acute ischaemic stroke in this setting were predominantly elderly and had a high burden of vascular risk factors, and most achieved favourable functional outcomes at discharge; however, larger studies are needed to better identify predictors of stroke outcomes.
