ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the risk factors for the recurrence of senior patients with cerebral infarction ,and provide refer-ences for its prevention .Methods The 102 elder patients(age>65y) with cerebral infarction were regarded as recurrent group ,and 218 elder cerebral infarction patients without recurrence were considered as primary group .The sex ,age ,body mass index(BMI) , heavy smoking ,drunkenness ,TIA ,location of primary cerebral infarction ,using anti-platelet drugs ,diabetes ,hypertension ,coronary heart disease ,hyperlipidemia ,carotid atherosclerotic plaque ,fibrillation atrial ,chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) ,in-creased serum levels of homocysteine(Hcy) ,and high level of C reaction protein(CRP) were analyzed by single and multi factors a-nalysis .Results The single analysis showed the factors including hypertension ,TIA ,carotid atherosclerotic plaque ,heavy smoking , hyperlipidemia ,diabetes ,coronary heart disease ,increased serum levels of homocysteine (Hcy) ,and high level of C reaction protein (CRP) were risk factors for the recurrence of senior patients with cerebral infarction ,but using anti-platelet drugs was the protec-tive factor .Multi-factors analysis showed the factors including coronary heart disease ,hyperlipidemia ,TIA ,diabetes ,carotid athero-sclerotic plaque ,hypertension ,heavy smoking were isolated risk factors but using anti-platelet drugs was the protective factor .Con-clusion There are multitude factors for the recurrence of senior patients with cerebral infarction .We must pain more attention to the factors and decrease their recurrence .
