Astragalus Membranaceus for Brain Edema Induced by Hemorrhagic Stroke

The primary outcome measures were the differences in patients' scores on several clinical scales, between baseline (within 7 ± 1 days after the onset of stroke) and week 4 (28 ± 4 days), and between at baseline and week 12 (84 ± 10 days). The scales we used were the Functional Independence Measure scale (FIM), Barthel Index scale (BI), Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), and Modified Rankin Scale (MRS). The scores of FIM, BI, GOS, and MRS were assessed by an experienced research nurse.

inflammatory index, which included the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sediment rate (ESR) for venous blood; these were measured at baseline (prior to the first AM dose), and again on the fourth and seventh day of admission; and
Computer tomography (CT) examination, which was done at baseline and on the fourth and seventh days of admission. The ratio of brain edema was calculated by CT (volume of edema divided by blood clot volume)
