Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo discuss the effects of criteria in controlling the risk factors on secondary prevention of brain vessel disease.
METHODSAmong 631 cases who had been examined at our hospital on brain vessel disease for longer than 1 year, 123 cases were chosen as treatment group which received criterion therapy to control their risk factors while the rest cases were under antitheses group. The two groups were compared on the 1 year recrudesce rate thereafter.
RESULTSThe 1 year recrudesce rate of the treatment group showed better than the antitheses group (P = 0.005 < 0.05), as the benefit mostly from the control of risk factors, such as blood pressure (P = 0.005), blood sugar (P = 0.038). There was active effect of criterion therapy in controlling the risk factors.
CONCLUSIONThere was active effect of criterion therapy in controlling the risk factors as high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood fat etc. Healthy life style would help the recurrence of brain vessel disease, which should be highlighted in the secondary prevention of brain vessel disease.
