The analysis of the demographic, biochemical and clinical data indicated that the patients with advanced leukoaraiosis \(at least 3 points in the Fazekas scale\) were older, suffered more often from arterial hypertension, diabetes and ischaemic heart disease, and had a higher level of cholesterol, fibrinogen and blood glucose than the others. Linear regression analysis based on the assumption that the Fazekas scale was treated as an infinitely variable proved that an old age and arterial hypertension are independent leukoaraiosis factors. Logistic regression analysis based on the assumption that the Fazekas scale was treated as a dichotomous variable \(at least 3 points vs. less than 3 points\) showed that an old age, arterial hypertension and fibrinogen are independent factors of advanced leukoaraiosis. No correlation between the number of points in the Fazekas scale and the number of points in ASPECTS \(r=0,06, p=n.s.\) was found.Linear regression analysis based on the assumption that both the modified Rankin scale and the Fazekas scale were treated as infinitely variables indicated that arterial hypertension 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"]
