%X Aim: To explore what is the relationship of
the types of post-stroke aphasia with sex, age and stroke types. Methods: Retrospective analysis was administrated
on data of 421 patients with acute stroke.
Western battery aphasia was used to measure aphasiac type and aphasia quotient
(AQ) score. The patients were
divided into three age groups: young, middle-aged and elderly. The stroke types were classified into cerebral
infraction (CI) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Results: All subjects were
right-handed, which males and females accounted for 69.60% and 30.40%,
respectively. There were 116 cases of Broca¡¯s aphasia (85 males), 35 cases of
Wernicke¡¯s aphasia (20 males), 15
cases of conductive aphasia (10 males), 63 cases of transcortical motor aphasia
(50 males), 11 cases of transcortical sensory aphasia (8 males), 27 cases of
transcortical combined aphasia (13 males), 73 cases of anomic aphasia (47 males)
and 81 cases of global aphasia (60 males). Male patients (69.60%) have a
significantly higher morbidity of aphasia than that of females (30.40%) after
stroke (¦Ö2 =
