Risk factor study and analysis of recurrent cerebral infarction

Objective To explore the risk factors of recurrent cerebral infarction and the preventive meas-ures. Methods The risk factors were compared between recurrent group (246 cases with recurrent cerebral infarc-tion) and unrecurrent group( 100 cases with unreeurront cerebral infarction) by means of multiple logistic regression analysis. Results The recurrent cerebral infarction is correlated closely with hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases and excessive drinking, and the OR values arc 2.206, 2.232, 2.252, 2.842, 2.366 respectively (P<0.05), prophy-lactic treatment had the protective effects against the recurrent cerebral infarction,and the OR value was 0.249. Con-dusions The main risk factors of recurrent cerebral infarction were hypertension,heart diseases,excessive drinking. Prophylactic treatment hed great significance in preventing the recurrence of cerebral infarction. Key words: Brain infarction; Risk factor; Recurrence
