Noncontrast Computed Tomography Signs as Predictors of Hematoma Expansion, Clinical Outcome and Response to Tranexamic Acid in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Stroke, 51(1), 121–128. https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.119.026128

Background and purpose Blend, black hole and island signs and hypodensities are reported to predict hematoma expansion in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We explored the value of these noncontrast CT (NCCT) signs in predicting hematoma expan...

Frontiers in Neurology, 10, 1-6. https://doi.org/10.3389/fneur.2019.00723

Background Cilostazol and isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) are candidate treatments for cerebral small vessel disease and lacunar ischaemic stroke. As both drugs may influence haemoglobin and platelet count, and haemodynamics, we sought to assess their...

Associations between change in blood pressure and functional outcome, early events and death: results from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial (2019)
Journal Article
Sandset, E. C., Appleton, J. P., Berge, E., Christensen, H., Gommans, J., Krishnan, K., …Bath, P. M. (2019). Associations between change in blood pressure and functional outcome, early events and death: results from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial. Journal of Hypertension, 37(10), 2104-2109. https://doi.org/10.1097/HJH.0000000000002154

Objectives: High blood pressure (BP) is associated with a poor outcome after acute stroke. Early reduction in blood pressure (BP) may be associated with fewer early adverse events and deaths, and improved functional outcome. Methods: Analyses used d...
