For adults who get a clash of heads (TBI-Traumatic Brain Injury) which in the long term will increase the risk of having a stroke, especially in the first 3 months after injury, this was the conclusion of a study conducted by Herng-Ching Lin, PhD , and colleagues from Taipei Medical University in Taiwan and published online in the journal Stroke in July 2011. In his article, Herng-Ching Lin, PhD, and colleagues from Taipei Medical University, argues that it is only natural to speculate that the occurrence of cerebrovascular damage in the head caused by TBI may lead to hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke. Despite the evidence that relationship is still a little, one in the study.
Dr Tim. Lin uses a database of national insurance Taiwan to analyze 23 199 TBI patients and compared with 69,597 non-TBI patients. The average age of subjects was 42 years old, and 54% were male. Each individual was followed for 5 years. In the first 3 months after TBI, stroke occurred in 675 patients with TBI (2.9%) vs. 207 non-TBI patients (0.30%). Over the past 5 years, patients experiencing a TBI 1901 (8.2%) experienced a stroke compared with 2710 non-TBI patients (3.9%).
After adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and comorbidities are selected, TBI was independently associated with an increased risk of stroke more than 10-fold in the first 3 months after injury and increased risk of more than 4-fold to 1 year after injury. Even at 5 years, TBI patients have a risk about 2-fold increased relative stroke for non-TBI population.
Dr. Lim, et al. based on the study concluded that stroke is one of the neurological problems that may increase risk after a clash of heads (TBI).
