Low Concentration of BDNF in the Acute Phase of Ischemic Stroke as a Factor in Poor Prognosis in Terms of Functional Status of Patients.

CONCLUSIONS The neurological status and concentration of BDNF on the 1st day of ischemic stroke are independent prognostic factors in medium-term observation. Reduction in the concentration of BDNF in the acute phase of stroke is a factor for poor prognosis in terms of the functional status of patients on the 90th day after onset.
