Abstract: ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution of cerebral ischemic stroke by TOAST subtype in different gender and provide basis for prevention. MethodsAll of 463 patients with cerebral ischemic stroke from October 2007 October 2009 were involved in this study. Two hundred and seventy-nine patients were male (male group),and 184 patients were female (female group). The distribution of TOAST subtype was analyzed between the two groups. ResultsAccording to TOAST subtype, large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), small artery obstructive (SAO), cardiogenic embolism(CE),stoke of other etiology(SOE) and stoke of undetermined etiology(SUE) subtype was 54 cases( 19.4％ ,54/279), 95 cases(34.1％ ,95/279),33 cases( 11.8％ ,33/279), 9 cases(3.2％ ,9/279) and 88 cases(31.5％ ,88/279) in male group;22 cases ( 12.0％ ,22/184),66 cases (35.9％ ,66/184),35 cases ( 19.0％ ,35/184),6 cases (3.3％ ,6/184) and 55 cases (29.9％ ,55/184) in female group. The percentage of LAA was higher and the percentage of CE was lower in male group than in male group that in female group (P ＜ 0.05 ). ConclusionThedistribution of cerebral ischemic stroke in different gender by TOAST subtype exists difference.
