ABSTRACT

Introduction: cerebrovascular diseases are conditions of transient or permanent functional loss of a part of the central nervous system, usually of sudden onset, by arterial occlusions, thrombi, emboli or by rupture of an encephalic artery. Objective: to determine the in-hospital mortality prognostic factors. Methods: an observational, analytical, case-control study was conducted in patients with hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease treated at the Arnaldo Milián Castro Hospital between January and December of 2016. The population consisted of 122 patients: case group for the deceased (45) and control group for those discharged alive (77). The studied variables were: age, sex, skin color, personal pathological history, state of consciousness, computerized axial tomography results, complications, final status at discharge and hospital stay. Univariate and multivariate analyzes and binary logistic regression were performed to determine the prognostic variables. Results: the hospital stay showed an average of 9.25 days, sex and skin color did not show significant differences, there was a higher percentage (66.7) of patients with personal hypertension pathological history, being aware and the coma had significant differences between the two groups, the number of cases with intraparenchymal hemorrhage was greater (88.5%), bronchopneumonia was the most frequent complication, and the multivariate logistic regression analysis identified mortality prognostic factors variables as: aware, coma and bronchopneumonia. Conclusions: being aware, coma and bronchopneumonia were the prognostic factors of mortality.
