Purpose
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how incidence of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage patients can be changed according to age and sex, hours, daily, monthly, and the location of the brain.
Materials and Methods
The subjects of this study were 1,278 patients of our hospital who got brain CT from january 2002 to december 2004 and were detected of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. For the examination, CT scanner, Somatom Volume Zoom(Siemens Medical System, Germany) was used, patients were all positioned supine. About 12 image were detected on the scan parameters are as follows of 120kVp, 380mAs, 10mm slice thickness, 5mm detector row collimation, 20mm feed.
Results
Among total 1,278 patients, male patients were 604(47.3%) and female patients were 674 (52.7%). Their ages ranged from 22 to 95(average age: 66 year-old).
The followings are the incidence of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage patients;
According to age, 233 patients(18.2%) in their 40s, 274 patients(21.5%) in their 50s, 334 patients(26.1%) in their 60s, and 281 patients(22%) in their 70s were measured. The age was mainly distributed between 40s and 70s.
According to hourly-incidence, 307 patients(24%) from 9PM to 12AM, and 323 patients(25.3%) from 17PM to 20PM were high ranked. The incidence of those two periods was higher than others. According to daily-incidence, 195 patients(15.3%) on monday and 203 patients(15.9%) on tuesday were high ranked.
According to monthly-incidence, 131 patients(10.3%) in january, 120 patients(9.4%) in april, and 131 patients(10.3%) in october, were in high places.
And according to the location of the brain, 343 patients(26.8%) with subarachnoid hemorrhage, 386 patients(30.2%) with basal ganglia hemorrhage, and 240 patients(18.8%) with thalamus hemorrhage, were relatively high ranked compared with other location of brain.
Conclusion
Once intracranial hemorrhage happened, most of cases would lead to senous sequelas. Therefore the prevention is the one and best way for it.
A happy and healthy life demands proper body exercise, furthermore, efforts to reduce one’s peril factors of intracranial hemorrhage, such as fatigue, overwork, stress, smoking, hypertension, fatness, glycosuria, sclerosis of the arteries, heart disease, etc. are required.
