Correlation analysis of coagulogram indices in stroke

: With the use of a "Minsk-32" computer correlations between expanded coagulograms taken from 850 patients with ischemic cerebral stroke and 146 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were analyzed. The statistical parameters of the coagulograms and the matrices of their pair correlation quotients were calculated separately in three groups of patients, i. e. under 45, 45 to 59 and 60 years of the age and older. It was found that it was the plasma tolerance of heparin, in combination with the plasma recalcification time, the fibrinogen content, the fibrinolytic activity and the thrombotest that were the most reliable tests for evaluating the hemocoagulation status and its changes in the process of anticoagulant and hemostatic therapy of the stroke. The correlations between the coagulogram parameters varied depending on the stroke type and the patients' age. This should be taken into consideration while instituting individualized therapy.
