Abstract:
Objective To explore the risk factors of cognitive impairment of elderly patients with cerebral infarction in order to provide the theoretical basis for the clinical intervention. Methods A total of 237 cases with senile cerebral infarction were selected as ours subjects who were hospitalized from Mar. 2010 to Jun. 2013 in Kailuan General Hospital Affiliated to Hebei United University. The general condition and medical history were recorded. The auxiliary examination was performed. Cerebral infarction was diagnosed based on the onset to diagnosis standard and MoCA scores of within 2 weeks. The patients with less than 26 MoCA score were diagnosed as cognitive dysfunction and otherwise were thought as normal. Single factor analysis methods and non conditional Logistic regression were applied to analyze the analysis. Results There was no significant difference in terms of incidence between patients with different gender. Patients with age more than 75 years old and lower education levels had the high incidence rate than those with younger age and high education levels( χ2=16. 661,5. 453;P﹤0. 05). The cognitive dysfunction incidence of patients with white collar was lower than those with blue collar(χ2 = 5. 458,P ﹤ 0. 05 ). And the cognitive dysfunction incidence of patients with hypertention,diabetes,heart disease and leukoaraiosis were higher than those without the above diseases(χ2 =28. 423,5. 621,7. 768,6. 070;P﹤0. 05). The incidence of patients smoking more was significantly higher than that of smoking less or no(χ2 =5. 045,P ﹤0. 05 ). Multiple factors and non conditional Logistic regression analysis showed that,67 Senile cerebral infarction patients occurred cognitive impairment within 2 weeks. The independent risk factors for its occurrence included age greater than 75 years( P=0. 000 ),diabetes mellitus( P=0. 043),hypertension(P=0. 000)and leukoaraiosis(P=0. 041). Conclusion There are many risk factors related to cognitive impairment after cerebral infarction occurred in the elderly. The intervention should take in many aspects and the risk factors should early found.
