Community Hospital-based Stroke Programs: North Carolina, Oregon, and New York. III. Factors influencing survival after stroke: proportional hazards analysis of 4219 patients.

چکیده
The possible effect of age, race, sex, consciousness upon admission, geographic location, and history of selected risk factors on the survival after stroke due to infarction or hemorrhage was determined using proportional hazards analysis (Cox regression). For each diagnostic category the most significant prognostic factor was consciousness upon admission. Increasing age, cardiac disease, or previous stroke also decreased the survival time of patients with infarctions. For patients with cerebral hemorrhage, no other variable was significant after control for consciousness level.

The use of diagnostic tests, the accuracy of stroke type diagnosis, and their relationship to outcome are important from the standpoint of patient management and health care costs. To address this issue, we examined the differences between stroke types in terms of demographics, risk factors, diagnostic tests, and clinical outcome in the 4,129 patients who comprise the Community Hospital-Based S...

The three Community Hospital-based Stroke Programs collected data on 4132 stroke patients admitted to acute care hospitals during 1979 and 1980. White female stroke patients were older than the white male, nonwhite female and nonwhite male stroke patients. Nearly one-fourth (23%) of stroke patients were employed at the time of the event. Most (77%) of the patients were hospitalized for first st...

Introduction: The most important models used in analysis of survival data is proportional hazards models. Applying this model requires establishment of the relevance proportional hazards assumption, otherwise it world lead to incorrect inference. This study aims to evaluate Cox and Weibull models which are used in identification of effective factors on survival time in acute leukemia. Me...
متن کاملChanges in survival following stroke in five North Carolina counties observed during two different periods.
We evaluated survival following stroke for patients from a five-county area of rural North Carolina enrolled in either of two community hospital-based stroke survey programs. In this area, the first program enrolled 843 stroke patients between 1970 and 1973 and the second program enrolled 786 stroke patients between 1979 and 1980. One-year survival increased from 49% in the first program to 62%...
