Abstract

Objectives : This study was to investigated the correlation between average temperature & precipitation and pattern identification of the patients with stroke. Methods : 115 stroke patients within 30days of onset were registered during the study period. Pattern identification of stroke was classified into Fire and heat, Turbid phlegm and others. We took the mean of average temperature according to pattern identification and analyzed pattern identification into two groups according to climatological normal of average temperature in Seoul. We also analyzed pattern identification into two groups according to existence of precipitation. Results : Heat and fire, and other type of pattern identification had high frequency when average temperature was higher than 12.2℃. And there was no correlation between precipitation and pattern identification of stroke.
