Sichuan Mental Health 2023;36(4):377-379
This article presents a case report of Wernicke's encephalopathy misdiagnosed as schizophrenia. The patient was hospitalized and diagnosed with schizophrenia at a local psychiatric hospital over a month ago. Twelve days ago, the patient gradually developed symptoms such as salivation, difficulty in eating, trembling hands, unsteady walking, glossoptosis and so on. The above symptoms were interpreted as drug-induced adverse reactions and managed accordingly, whereas the patient showed a poor response to treatment, and began to experience intermittent consciousness disorder. After referral to our hospital, findings were diagnostic for Wernicke's encephalopathy and peripheral polyneuropathy. Due to the progression of the disease, the family members abandoned further treatment and requested discharge from the hospital, and the patient died outside the hospital. This case report aims to improve the prognosis of Wernicke's encephalopathy in patients with mental disorder by raising the awareness of the disease and enhancing the early prevention.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for stroke in population with family history in rural areas of Zhengzhou. Methods A cluster random sampling method was used to collect 386 residents with family history of stroke from 5 villages of Zhengzhou. The participants were divided into stroke group and non-stroke group according to diagnosis. IBM SPSS STATISTICS 21.0 and SPSS Modeler 14.1 software were used to analyze the data.Results Hypertension, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation or arrhythmia, smoking and drinking in stroke group were significantly higher than those of the non-stroke group (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that hypertension (OR=35.705, 95% CI9.045~140.950, P =0.000) and dyslipidemia (OR=2.669, 95% CI 1.077~6.614, P = 0.034) were linked with stroke. Artificial neural network (ANN) model indicated the independent variables in predicting stroke were hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, drinking and atrial fibrillation or arrhythmia according significance, respectively. The accuracy of the model was 82.0%. Conclusion Among population with family history of stroke, those who had hypertension, dyslipidemia, atrial fibrillation or arrhythmia, smoking and drinking were more susceptible to develop this condition.
