Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : We studied only patients at the acute stage but existing studies on stroke didn’t almost classify the stage. We examined 243 patients admitted to the Woo Suk university oriental medical hospital from January 1998 to December 1999 for 2 years.
Methods : We analyzed patients into sex, Sasang constitution, the incidence and lesion according to the stroke types, post and family history, onset time, period to admission and physical treatment from onset, and symptom, blood pressure, cholesterol level and herb medicine at entry.
Results : Our study was similar to existing studies in the distribution of sex, age and the lesion of stroke, post and family history, and symptoms at entry. But it differed in the constitution, incidence of cerebral infarction and intracranial hemorrhage, attack time, period to admission and physical treatment from onset day, and the symptoms, blood pressure, cholesterol level and herb medication. In comparison between infarction and hemorrhage patients, there was some difference in the distribution of onset time, but wasn’t in the cholesterol level.
Conclusions : Our study on the acute stage of stroke was similar to existing studies in the general characteristics. But it showed some differences in the herb medicine at entry. In particular, there were much differences in the blood pressure at entry and the incidence of infarction and hemorrhage. We hoped that stroke patients would be synthetically studied in western and oriental medicine.
