Özet
We investigated the influence of early awakening and related factors on onset of cerebrovascular disease (CVD). Totally 1199 stroke patients, in whom the onset time was known, at 3 reference hospitals were included in this study. The effects of demographic, medical, and pathophysiological factors on the circadian pattern of an unselected series of patients with ischemic stroke were analyzed. Nine-hundred seventeen CVD patients with cerebral infarction (CI), 240 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (CH), and 42 patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) were identified. The greatest portion of strokes (32.5%) occurred between 03:00 and 06:00 a.m. Nearly one half of the strokes in this series occurred in the very early- to mid-morning hours. This analysis of strokes provides strong evidence with a higher risk in the early morning hours (03:00 a.m. to 06:00 a.m.), and lower risk during the night time period (2 1:00 p.m. to midnight). Approximately 1 of every 3 strokes (1 of 3 ischemic strokes, 1 of 6 hemorrhagic strokes, and 1 of 8 subarachnoid hemorrhages) is attributable to the early morning excess. This difference tried to be explained by three ways: cold weather, religious factors, and physiological mechanisms. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
