title: [A study on risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage in women].
abstract: To investigate the risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage in women, we conducted a 1:1 pair matched case-control study on 98 women with cerebral hemorrhage diagnosed by CT scan of the head and the same number of controls. Single factor analysis revealed that a high body mass index (BMI) increased the risk of cerebral hemorrhage (p < 0.05). Multiple conditional logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension, snoring and the use of OCs were independent risk factors of cerebral hemorrhage in women, and the odds ratios (ORs) were 8.36 (95% CI: 3.22-21.73), 3.84 (95% CI: 1.47-10.04) and 7.96 (95% CI: 1.27-49.83), respectively. No correlations between cerebral hemorrhage in women and their occupation educational level or history of menstruation and child bearing were found.
