Abstract
Ischemic stroke has been the leading cause deaths and the critical disability. In addition, the clinical problem of ischemic stroke have the poor prognosis and high mortality rate. The study aim was to identify the incidence variation of ischemic stroke by days of the week and its relationship with residences in males. We analyzed 607 males patients with ischemic stroke diagnosed by magnetic resonance image or computerized tomography. They were admitted to the oriental hospital of Kyunghee, Daejeon, Wonkwang university. We analyzed the onset of ischemic stroke using a ${\chi}2$ test. The results showed significant weekly variation of ischemic stroke onset and the differences of weekly variation according to residences. A deeper knowlegde of the underlying weekly variation could be provide more effective insights for preventive approach.
