Influence of atorvastatin on neurological function of patients with progressive cerebral infarction

Abstract

Objective To explore the influence of atorvastatin on neurological function of patients with progressive cerebral infarction.Methods 80 patients with cerebral infarction were randomly divided into two groups,40 cases in the control group using conventional treatment,the observation group 40 cases on the basis of control group combined with atorvastatin treatment.Two groups of clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results Two groups of neural function defect score before treatment had no significant difference,after treatment,observation group scored significantly higher than that of control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The observation group 40 cases,23 cases were cured,57.5％ ; 10 cases,accounting for 25.0％ ; effective 5 cases,accounting for 12.5％,2 cases are invalid,accounted for 5.0％,the total clinical efficiency of 95.0％.40 cases in the control group,9 cases were cured,22.5％ ;9 cases,accounting for 22.5 ％ ; effective in 10 cases,accounting for 25.0％,12,30.0％.The total efficiency was 70.0％.The total efficiency of observation group was better than that of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The progress of cerebral infarction patients in the conventional anticoagulation plus atorvastatin,which can maximize the protection of nerve function,improve the clinical cure rate and improve the life quality of the patients.
