The authors compared the drinking habits of stroke patients and controls who were matched for the variables of age, sex, race, and day of the week admitted to the hospital. Rates of alcoholism were similar in the two groups. However, stroke patients were more likely to be current drinkers than controls, and were more likely to have been drinking within 24 hr of admission to the hospital, most of them rather heavily. Among the stroke patients, alcoholism was associated with hypertension, with being a current drinker, and with drinking at index, i.e., within 24 hr of the first symptoms of stroke. Of those stroke patients who were drinking at index, there were significant associations with being black, alcoholic, and hypertensive. The implications of these findings are discussed.
作者比较了中风患者与在年龄、性别、种族以及入院日期等变量上相匹配的对照组的饮酒习惯。两组的酗酒率相似。然而，中风患者比对照组更有可能是当前饮酒者，并且更有可能在入院24小时内饮酒，其中大多数饮酒量较大。在中风患者中，酗酒与高血压、当前饮酒状态以及在发病时（即中风首发症状出现后的24小时内）饮酒有关。在发病时饮酒的中风患者中，黑人、酗酒者和高血压患者之间存在显著关联。本文讨论了这些发现的意义。
