High blood pressure in patients with impaired consciousness on hospital admission was significantly related to 30-day mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage(P=.037)and in patients with ischemic disease(P<. 0001).In patients without impaired consciousness,high blood pressure at time of admission was not related to increased mortality at 30 days.High admission blood pressure in alert stroke patients was not related to increased mortality.Stroke patients with impaired consciousness showed higher mortality rates with increasing blood pressure.However,this does not provide a basis for recommending antihypertensive therapy for such patients. |
