Oxidation contributes to secondary brain injury after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (SIH). One study found lower levels of total antioxidant capacity (TAC) in the blood in patients with SIH than in healthy subjects. However, there are no data on blood TAC levels and survival in patients with SIH. Therefore, the objective of our study was to determine if an association exists between serum TAC levels and mortality in patients with SIH. We included patients with severe supratentorial SIH. We considered severe when Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)
