During one year period there were 78 patients enrolled into the study. Al details of the patients like age, sex, clinical features, etiological features, Outcome like Improved, DAMA (Discharge against Medical Advise) and Death and associated factors were studied in details. The data was presented in percentages and presented in the tabular form.
