[Risk factors in cerebrovascular disease and their prognostic importance].
The prevalence of cerebrovascular disease risk factors and their immediate mortality prognostic value together with the initial analytical parameters are evaluated. 250 cases of cerebral infarction (CI), 150 cases of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and 60 cases of transitory ischemic events (TIE) were studied and compared to a control group. A higher prevalence of arterial hypertension, cardiopathy, previous cerebrovascular disease and elevated hematocrit was found in the CI group. In the TIE group there was an increased prevalence of cardiopathy, previous cerebrovascular disease and high hematocrit. In the ICH group an increased prevalence of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy was found. We have to point out the importance of a global approach of the risk factors. The intrahospital mortality due to CI was associated with old age, low hematocrit, leukocytosis and high blood sugar at admission. ICH was associated with a higher systolic arterial pressure leukocytosis and elevated blood glucose at admission.
