Abstract:
Objective To investigate the risk factors of hyperthermia in early period of an acute cerebral infarction.Methods 299 patients admitted to hospital from January 2003 to December 2004 with a diagnosis of cerebral infartion by CT or MRI,were retrospectively studied.The risks of hyperthermia in the early period for stroke,such as admission conscious level,bulbar palsy,emphysema,atrial fibrillation,multi-cerebral infarction,diabetes mellitus and chronic heart failure were analyzed,Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the factors that were associated with hyperthermia in the early period of stroke.Results 71 patients had fever in early period of an acute cerebral infarction(23.7%).The most common infection was pneumonia(18.4%).The analysis showed that the admission conscious level and atrial fibrillation were the risks of early hyperthermia of an acute cerebral infarction.Conclusion Admission conscious level(subconscious or unconscious/coma) and atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure are independent risk factors for development of early hyperthermia for acute stroke.
