Chinese Archives of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery 2017;24(7):351-354
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between state trait anxiety and behavioral status in patients with sudden deafness. METHODS From April 2015 to June 2016, 140 cases of hospitalized patients with sudden hearing loss were selected as the observation group, and 140 healthy volunteers in our hospital for medical examination were selected as the control group. Average data, state trait anxiety, quality of life, and behavior survey were investigated in the two groups and correlation analysis was conducted. RESULTS The state trait anxiety score of the observation group was 51.20±4.19 points, and the control group was 34.40±3.49 points, and the state trait anxiety score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(t=12.949, P<0.05). The scores of physical, compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility and depression in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05). The problem solving and help scores in the observation group were significantly lower than that of the control group, while the fantasy and self accusation scores was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05). In the observation group, Pearson correlation analysis shows anxiety scores were significantly correlated to the dimensions scores of quality of life, fantasy and self accusation scores(P<0.05), and were significantly negative correlated to the problem solving and help scores (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The patients with sudden deafness is accompanied by state trait anxiety and fantasy, self accusation and other bad behavior, it can seriously affect the patient's quality of life and form vicious circle, so the nursing intervention should be strengthened in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the impact of using antithrombotic drugs (anticoagulants or antiplatelet aggregation drugs)before the onset of cerebral infarction on hemorrhagic transformation after acute cerebral infarction. Methods The consecutive patients with acute cerebral infarction from Chengdu Stroke Registry Project admitted to the Department of Neurology,West China Hospital,Sichuan University from January 1,2004 to January 1,2014 were enrolled. The baseline data on admission,previous usage of anticoagulants and anti-platelet aggregation drugs,as well as CT/ MRI and other imaging data of all patients were collected. According to the results of CT/ MRI reexamined at 72 h after admission,the patients with hemorrhagic transformation were enrolled into a hemorrhagic transformation group;the patients with non-hemorrhagic transformation were enrolled into a non-hemorrhagic transformation group according to the ratio
of 1 ∶ 1. Their gender and age were matched with the hemorrhagic transformation group. The baseline data and drug used of the patients in both groups were compared. The differences of risk factors between the two groups were analyzed with multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The relationship between hemorrhagic transformation and premorbid use of antithrombotic drugs were observed. Results A total of 6 916 patients with acute cerebral infarction were enrolled,including 433 (6. 3%)hemorrhagic transformation (hemorrhagic transformation group)and 433 non-hemorrhagic transformation. (1)There were significant differences between the patients of the two groups on admission in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)score,atrial fibrillation,previous cerebral infarction,and blood glucose levels on admission (all P < 0. 05). (2)The proportions of using anticoagulants and antiplatelet aggregation agents in the hemorrhagic transformation group were higher than those of the non-hemorrhagic transformation group (anticoagulants:14. 1% [n = 61]vs. 3. 9% [n = 17];P < 0. 01,OR,4. 01,95% CI 2. 303 -6. 993;anti-platelet aggregation drugs:14. 3% [n =62]vs. 8. 3% [n = 36];P = 0. 005,OR,1. 84,95% CI 1. 194 -2. 846). (3)The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the use of anticoagu-lants,anti-platelet aggregation drugs,NIHSS score on admission,and random blood glucose on admission were the independent risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation (OR [95% CI]3. 302 [1. 860 -5. 862], 2. 081 [1. 281 -3. 382],1. 047 [1. 026 -1. 069],and 1. 055 [1. 011 -1. 100],respectively (all P <0. 05). Conclusion The NIHSS score and blood glucose levels on admission are the independent risk factors of hemorrhagic transformation. Using anticoagulants or anti-platelet aggregation drugs before symptom onset is independently associated with hemorrhagic transformation,however,its relationship with the long-term prognosis of acute cerebral infarction need to be further studied.
