[Effects of underlying cerebrocardiovascular diseases on the incidence of critical conditions and multiple organs dysfunction syndrome in severe acute respiratory syndrome cases].

Objective: To investigate the effects of underlying cerebrocardiovascular diseases on the incidence of critical conditions and multiple organs dysfunction syndrome (MODS) among the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) cases.

Methods: A database of all SARS cases in Beijing in 2003 was established and the data of 1291 cases whose data were complete among them was analyzed. The effects of cerebrocardiovascular diseases, other comorbid diseases and absence of underlying diseases on the incidence of critical conditions and MODS in SARS cases were compared with chi-square test and logistic regression analysis.
