Abstract:
Objective To provide more reference base for the prevention and treatment of acute cerebral infarction through the correlation study between the onset of acute cerebral infarction and meteorological factors during the same period in Dalian area.Methods From January 1,2015 to December 31,2015,the data of hospitalized medical records and meteorological data during the same period in 3 5 7 8 consecutive patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to three tertiary hospitals in Dalian were analyzed retrospectively.The seasonal regularity of acute cerebral infarction in Dalian area was analyzed descriptively.A single retrospective 1 ∶ 1 matched case-crossover study design was used to analyze the effect of mean air temperature lag 0-3 days on the onset of acute cerebral infarction.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the influence of meteorological factors of the day on the onset of acute cerebral infarction,at the same time,the relationship between stroke subtypes and meteorological factors was investigated.Results (1) The incidence of acute cerebral infarction was higher in winter (December,January,and February) and it was lower in summer (from June to August).(2) Hysteresis analysis:when the temperature was reduced by 1 ℃each time,the OR values of acute cerebral infarction lagging behind 0 and 1 d were 1.034 (95％ CI 1.012-1.056) and 1.025 (95％ CI 1.008-1.042) respectively.There was significant difference (all P ＜ 0.05).The correlation between the temperature of the day of onset and the onset of acute cerebral infarction was the highest.(3) The onset of cerebral infarction was negatively correlated with the average temperature of the day and hours of sunshine (r =-0.392,-0.260,all P ＜ 0.01),and it was positively correlated with the daily average air pressure (r =0.403,P ＜ 0.01).Among them,the correlation of the type of cardiogenic embolism and each meteorological factor was the highest.The correlation coefficients of daily average temperature,daily air pressure,and hours of sunshine were-0.836,0.733,and-0.629,respectively (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion A cold and high air pressure may trigger the onset of acute cerebral infarction,especially cardiogenic cerebral infarction.
