Effects of intervention on the prevention of ischemic stroke recurrence in a local community / 中华全科医师杂志

ABSTRACT

A total of 120 patients with initial stroke at a community health service center in Shanghai from January 2009 to March 2011 were divided randomly into intervention group (n =60) and control group (n =60).Individual comprehensive rehabilitation was carried out based on the evaluations in the intervention group.Routine therapy was given to the patients in the control group.General data evaluations were conducted at pre-intervention and 1 year post-intervention respectively.The levels of blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid(LDL-C) were all lower in the intervention group than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The rates of proper behavior were all higher in the intervention group than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).And the rates of recurrence and mortality were lower in the intervention group than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).
