Association between total antioxidant capacity and mortality in ischemic stroke patients

Objective Data on circulating total antioxidant capacity (TAC) levels in ischemic stroke patients compared with healthy controls are limited and provided conflicting findings. There are not data about the association between circulating TAC levels, peroxidation state and outcome in patients with severe ischemic stroke. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship of TAC with 30-day mortality after severe ischemic stroke. Methods This multicenter study included 58 patients with coma (Glasgow Coma Scale
