ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze and compare the incidence of diarrhea between cerebral hemorrhage and infarction. Method We observed and compared the time when diarrhea occurred in both 147 cases of cerebral hemorrhage patients and 142 cases of cerebral infarction patients by using statistical methods. Result The incidence of diarrhea in former group was 36.05%, and that of latter was 16.91%. Conclusions The incidence in patients with diarrhea of cerebral hemorrhage was markedly higher than that of patients with cerebral infarction. This may attribute to the higher intracranial pressure in cerebral hemorrhage patients than that of cerebral infarction ones. The complications of reduction of immune function,intestinal infection and hypoproteinemia may be the other factors resulting in the higher incidence of diarrhea in cerebral hemorrhage patients than that of cerebral infarction ones.
