ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the curative effect of Kudiezi Injection in the treatment of cerebral infarction.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Hospital information system (HIS) data from 18 national, general hospitals were used to compare patients with and without the use of parenterally administered Kudiezi injection in treating cerebral infarction. To balance confounding factors between the two groups propensity score method was used; effectiveness evaluation of parenterally administered Kudiezi in treatment of cerebral infarction was carried out using Logistic regression method.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>There was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) between positive curative outcomes in those receiving conventional therapy plus Kudiezi injection compared to those using other parenterally received medications on cerebral infarction.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>According to the current data conventional therapy combined with parenterally administered Kudiezi has a better outcome to cure cerebral infarction than other parenterally administered medications. This data provides a reference for clinical medication. However, the exact conclusions still need further verification.</p>
