Search for: [Abstract = "discharge. Linear regression analysis based on the assumption that the modified Rankin scale was treated as an infinitely variable and that the Fazekas scale was treated as a dichotomous variable proved that arterial hypertension, diabetes, a number of white cells and an advanced neurological deficit assessed by the NIHSS at the moment of falling ill are factors to determine a degree of disability graded according to the modified Rankin scale at a discharge. The testing of factors determining a degree of a neurological deficit at a discharge based on the assumption that the modified Rankin scale was analysed as a dichotomous variable did not reveal any factors to determine an early prognosis. Leukoaraiosis did not transpire to be a factor determining an early prognosis in any of the above\-mentioned models.The Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients with no signs of leukoaraiosis \(0 points in the Fazekas scale\) or in whom its extent is relatively small \(1\-2 points\) have a considerably higher long\-term survival rate than those who suffer from advanced leukoaraiosis. An estimated survival in the first group amounts to 83,4 months, whereas in the second group it is 68,9 months. This difference is statistically significant \(p=0,015\). An univariate analysis indicated that arterial hypertension \(HR=3,77\; 95%CI\:1,15\-12,35\; p=0,03\) and advanced leukoaraiosis \(HR=2,71\; 95%CI\:1,34\-5,5"]
