Abstract
The study included 102 elderly patients suffering from hemorrhagic stroke (HS) of various volumes, localization, and severity undergoing conservative treatment. Our research results demonstrate a high pathogenetic importance of the free radical processes for HS cases. The intensity of the oxidative stress, which is a direct reflection of the energy deficit, correlates with the severity of the patients’ condition, the volume of intracerebral hematoma, and hyperglycemia, and it predetermines the outcome of the disease. The administration of the energy-correcting antioxidant Cytoflavine resulted in the elimination of the free radical imbalance, a faster recovery of impaired consciousness and the focal neurological deficiency, as well as in an improved functional outcome of the disease and decreased disability.
