Abstract:
Objective To investigate the risk factors of short-term prognosis in patients with viral encephalitis. Methods Clinical data of 124 patients with viral encephalitis were analyzed retrospectively. All patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group according to the Glasgow outcome scale. Fourteen related risk factors were chosen and multifactor Logistic regression analysis was made. Results Univariate analysis showed, the duration of seizure, consciousness disorder, deficiency of cranial nerves, severe abnormal electroencephalogram and abnormal cranial MRI had significant correlation with short-term prognosis (P＜0.05), but age, sex,behavior disorder, meningeal irritation sign, pressure of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), leukocyte number of CSF, protein level of CSF, peripheral white blood cell, and abnormal cranial CT had no correlation with short-term prognosis (P ＞0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that the abnormal of cranial MRI and the duration of seizure were the independent risk factors of short-term prognosis. Conclusions The short-term prognosis of viral encephalitis relates with many factors. The abnormal cranial MRI and the duration of seizure are the important related risk factors.
