Additionally, 188 stroke survivors from the same neurological intensive care unit were randomly selected as paired cases. The clinical characteristics of the severe stroke patient deaths were analysed, and a univariate analysis was conducted to determine potential mortality risk factors. A logistic regression analysis was then conducted to determine the independent risk factors of mortality.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We investigated a total of 231 cases of death in neurological intensive care unit patients, 188 of whom died of stroke. Therefore, the death rate from stroke accounted for 81.3% of the total population, with ischaemic, haemorrhagic and mixed strokes accounting for 47.19%, 26.84% and 7.36% of the patients, respectively. The leading cause of death was central nervous system\u2010related causes (central respiratory and circulatory failure, brain herniation), followed by multisystemic causes. The independent risk factors of death among the neurological intensive care unit patients were as follows: brain herniation (OR\u00a0=\u00a018.15), multiple organ failure (OR\u00a0=\u00a013.12), dyslipidemia (OR\u00a0=\u00a04.64), community\u2010acquired lung infection (OR\u00a0=\u00a04.15), use of mechanical ventilation (OR\u00a0=\u00a03.37), hypoproteinemia (OR\u00a0=\u00a02.29), history of hypertension (OR\u00a0=\u00a02.03) and hospital\u2010acquired pneumonia (OR\u00a0=\u00a01.75).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The most common cause of death in stroke patients was damage to the central nervous system. Independent risk factors were brain herniation, multiple organ failure, dyslipidemia, community\u2010acquired lung infection, the use of mechanical ventilation, hypoproteinemia, a history of hypertension and hospital\u2010acquired pneumonia.
