Abstract
Cerebrovascular disease is the critical cause of death and is important cause of disability worldwide and the leading contributor to the chronic disease burden. Cerebrovascular disease, is also the leading contributor, to
the chronic disease burden. In this study, we analyzed the factors affecting MRI, which are critical for the diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease, with high mortality rate, and high medical burden. In the present study, data
from the Korean National Hospital Discharge In-depth Injury Survey for three years, from 2012 to 2014, we used. The subjects were 14,383 patients with cerebrovascular disease over 20 years of age who were first diagnosed with the international disease classification code I60-I67: cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, obstruction and stenosis of the precerebral artery, cerebral aneurysm etc. The analysis revealed the independent variables affecting MRI examination of cerebrovascular diseases were sex, age, type of insurance, admission route, length of stay, treatment result, location of hospital, and the number of hospital beds.
