Abstract

Introduction: Leukoaraiosis (LA) or white matter thinning and rarefaction is common in the patients with stroke.Materials-and Methods: This prospective clinical study was conducted on 100 consecutive patients in Mackenzie hospital, Canada and 100 consecutive stroke patients in Valie Asr hospital, Iran during 2004. Diagnosis of ischemic stroke and LA was performed by stroke neurologists using CT scan. The effects of race, gender, age groups, hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and smoking on the frequency rate of LA were evaluated. Chi-Square, Fisher and Regression tests served for statistical analysis and p<0.05 was declared as significant.Results: In the whole studied patients, 12males and 30 females had LA which was significantly more frequent in females (p=0.002). The frequency rate of LA was the same in the North American and Persian stroke patients (p=0.99). Stroke patients aged ³65 years were significantly more preponderant for LA than patients <65 years (p=0.049). LA was significantly more frequent in the hypertensive patients (p=0.04). The effects of diabetes, hypercholesterolemia and smoking on the frequency rate of LA were not significant.Discussion: Age, female gender and hypertension are the RISK FACTORS of LA. There is no difference in the frequency rate of LA between the North American and Persian stroke patients.
