Abstract:
Objective To investigate the risk factors for ischemic stroke in patients of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. Methods From March 2012 to March 2014,314 consecutive patients with ischemic stroke admitted to the Department of Neurology,Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture People′s Hospital,Sichuan Province were enrolled respectively. All patients were Tibetans. They were divided into either an observation group (n = 105)or a control group (n = 209)according to whether they had high-altitude polycythemia or not. The observation group was the patients with high-altitude polycythemia complicated with ischemic stroke,and the control group was the patients with ischemic stroke without high-altitude polycythemia. The risk factors for onset of stroke in both groups were compared,and the single factor indices with statistical significance were analyzed by multiple logistic regression analysis. Results There were significant differences in hypercholesteremia,history of heavy smoking,and family history of stroke between the observation group and the control group (χ2 values were 6. 489,8. 107,and 11. 206,respectively;P values were 0. 011,0. 004,and 0. 001,respectively). There were no significantly difference in other stroke risk factors between the 2 groups (all P > 0. 05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that hypercholesteremia,history of heavy smoking,and family history of stroke were the independent risk factors for high-altitude polycythemia complicated with ischemic stroke (hypercholester-emia:OR,4 . 799 ,95 % CI 1 . 266 - 3 . 148 ,P = 0 . 028;history of heavy smoking:OR,4 . 539 , 95 % CI 1. 061 -4. 182,P =0. 033;family history of stroke:OR,3. 549,95% CI 1. 279 -5. 377,P =0. 008). Conclusions Hypercholesteremia,history of heavy smoking,and family history of stroke,are the independent risk factors for ischemic stroke. The prevention of stroke in the local area should be targeted at the geograph-ical and population characteristics.
