Abstract

Therapeutic efficacy of the use of oral atorvastatin in the treatment of patients with aspiration pneumonia complicated with cerebral infarction was investigated. Three hundred and fourteen cerebral infarction patients complicated with aspiration pneumonia who were admitted to the emergency department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Jingxi Branch from May 2015 to July 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 160 patients who took atorvastatin were treated as observation group, and the remaining 154 patients were the control group. Patients were given basic treatment after diagnosis, and atorvastatin was also used for patients in the observation group. Venous blood was extracted to detect blood lipids and inflammatory cytokines. Patients were followed up for a period of six months, and the mortality was recorded. After treatment, blood lipid function and inflammatory factors in both groups were significantly improved (P<0.05). Hospital stay in the observation group (86.88%) was significantly shorter than that in the control group (76.33%) (P<0.01). After treatment, levels of TC, LDL, TG and CRP in the observation group (86.25%) were significantly lower than those in the control group (76.32%) (P=0.01). However, after treatment, level of HDL-C in the observation group (11.88%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (23.38%) (P=0.01). After treatment, levels of IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). Total effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P=0.01). Total death rate in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P=0.02). In conclusion, atorvastatin is effective in the treatment of cerebral infarction patients complicated with aspiration pneumonia.
