Risk Factors of the Recurrence of Ischemic Stroke in Ningxia

Objective To investigate the related risk factors of the recurrence of ischemic stroke in Ningxia and to provide basis for its prevention and cure. Methods 401 inpatients with ischemic stroke were selected during September 2011 to September 2012 in our hospital and were followed up one year( including 322 nonrecurrent cases and 79 recurrent cases). Construction corps were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results According to results of Chi-square test,sex( χ2= 4. 246,P 0. 05),age( χ2= 11. 660,P 0. 05),hypertension( χ2= 13. 813,P 0. 05),coronary heart disease( χ2= 6. 964,P 0. 05), diabetes( χ2= 32. 427,P 0. 05),smoking( χ2= 5. 421,P 0. 05),family history of stroke( χ2= 5. 529,P 0. 05),history of TIA( χ2= 7. 019,P 0. 05),atrial fibrillation( χ2= 6. 574,P 0. 05),hyperhomocysteinemia( χ2= 35. 930,P 0. 05),hyperlipemia( χ2= 5. 530,P 0. 05),carotid artery plaque( χ2= 68. 054,P 0. 05) were the risk factors of the recurrence of ischemic stroke. Multivariate logistic regression showed that diabetes( OR = 3. 728,P 0. 05),hyperhomocysteinemia( OR = 2. 858,P 0. 05) and carotid artery plaque( OR = 15. 346,P 0. 05) were significantly related to the recurrence of ischemic stroke. Conclusion Diabetes,hyperhomocysteinemia and carotid artery plaque are the primary risk factors of the recurrence of ischemic stroke. To prevent from the recurrence,it is very important to learn and control actively the risk factors of recurrence of ischemic stroke.
