Little is known of the risk factor disparities in first stroke among Jewish and Arab patients undergoing rehabilitation in Israel.
To investigate the age, gender and risk factor disparities in first stroke among Jewish (immigrant and non-immigrant) and Arab patients undergoing rehabilitation and to compare the prevalence and odds ratio of stroke risk factors in these patients.
The database of the Department of Neurological Rehabilitation C at Loewenstein Rehabilitation Center was used to investigate first ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients admitted for hospital rehabilitation over a 15 year period, January 1993 to December 2008. Particular attention was paid to age, gender and risk factor disparities.
The 2000 patients with first stroke who were included in the study were grouped as Jewish (immigrant and non-immigrant) orArab; there were 237 Arabs, 370 non-immigrant Jews and 1393 immigrant Jews. A high percentage of Arab patients were found to have hypertension and diabetes mellitus, while a high percentage of Jewish immigrants had stenosis of the internal carotid artery.
The study demonstrated some differences in the effect of risk factors between the groups. It may be important to address such differences when developing stroke preventative strategies in this population of Jewish and Arab stroke survivors in Israel.
在以色列接受康复治疗的犹太人和阿拉伯患者中，关于首次中风的危险因素差异知之甚少。
调查接受康复治疗的犹太（移民和非移民）和阿拉伯患者首次中风的年龄、性别和危险因素差异，并比较这些患者中风危险因素的患病率和比值比。
使用洛温斯坦康复中心神经康复科C的数据库，调查1993年1月至2008年12月15年间因医院康复入院的首次缺血性和出血性中风患者。特别关注年龄、性别和危险因素差异。
纳入研究的2000例首次中风患者分为犹太（移民和非移民）或阿拉伯组；有237名阿拉伯人、370名非移民犹太人和1393名移民犹太人。发现高比例的阿拉伯患者患有高血压和糖尿病，而高比例的犹太移民患有颈内动脉狭窄。
该研究表明两组之间危险因素的影响存在一些差异。在为以色列的这一犹太和阿拉伯中风幸存者群体制定中风预防策略时，考虑这些差异可能很重要。
