Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, with stroke coming in second. Controlling risk factors is the best strategy to avoid a stroke. Disability is also a cause of death. For treating and preventing hemorrhagic stroke, understanding the risk factors is critical. The aim of the study: The current study's objective was to determine the risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke. Materials and Methods: This study was a case-control study carried out at Sher-E-Bangla Medical College Hospital, Barishal, Bangladesh from January to June 2021. A total number of 66 subjects of more than 18 years were considered for the study as the study subjects. Among them, 33 were in the study (Case) group and 33 were in the control group. The study population had been selected according to the pre-defined exclusion and inclusion criteria. Results: The risk factors between the groups were evaluated, it was found that the study group had 22 smokers and the control group had 18 smokers. The study group had 11 nonsmokers and the control group had 15. There were 29 non-diabetic patients in the study group and 28 in the control group, according to the findings. The study group had 4 diabetes while the control group had 5. In the smoker vs. non-smoker and diabetics vs. non-diabetics population, there was no statistically significant difference between study and control groups. There were also 8 non-hypertensive patients in the study group and 29 non-hypertensive patients in the control group. The study group consisted of 25 hypertension patients, while the control group consisted of four. Between the study and control groups, there was a statistically significant difference. In terms of hypertension and total serum cholesterol, there were statistically significant differences between the study and control groups. Conclusion: We can conclude from the results of this study that hypertension and low total serum cholesterol are potential risk factors for ............
