Impact of ultra/hyper-acute administration of glyceryl trinitrate on secondary outcome after acute stroke: a meta-analysis of individual patient data from randomised trials (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Bath, P. M., Woodhouse, L. J., & Sprigg, N. (2018). Impact of ultra/hyper-acute administration of glyceryl trinitrate on secondary outcome after acute stroke: a meta-analysis of individual patient data from randomised trials.

Background Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) is a candidate reperfusion and hypotensive treatment for hyperacute stroke. We assessed the effect of early administration of GTN (within 6 hours) on secondary outcomes (taken at 3 months post randomisation), acro...

Woodhouse, L. J., Flaherty, K., Appleton, J. P., Sprigg, N., & Bath, P. M. Characteristics and outcomes of patients with or without a bleeding event: results from the triple antiplatelets for reducing dependency in ischaemic stroke (TARDIS) trial. Presented at 4th European Stroke Organisation Conference ​(ESOC 2018)

Background: Several studies showed that hyperglycaemia is associated with poorer prognosis in intracerebral haemorrhage. We explored the characteristics and outcomes of patients with hyperglycaemia in the Tranexamic acid in IntraCerebral Haemorrhage-...

The effect of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate in acute stroke patients with carotid stenosis: data from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Appleton, J., Woodhouse, L., Law, Z., Sprigg, N., & Bath, P. The effect of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate in acute stroke patients with carotid stenosis: data from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial. Presented at 4th European Stroke Organisation Conference ​(ESOC 2018)

Background: There is concern that blood pressure lowering in acute stroke may compromise cerebral perfusion and worsen outcome in the context of carotid stenosis. The effect of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) on outcome in acute stroke patients with caroti...

Serum amyloid protein is associated with outcome following acute ischaemic stroke: data from the REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAST) (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Appleton, J. P., Hedstrom, A., O'Sullivan, S., May, J., Sprigg, N., Bath, P. M., & England, T. J. (2018, May). Serum amyloid protein is associated with outcome following acute ischaemic stroke: data from the REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAST). Presented at 4th European Stroke Organisation Conference ​(ESOC 2018)

Background:
Remote ischaemic per-conditioning (RIC) in experimental ischaemic stroke is neuroprotective. Several neurohumoral, vascular and inflammatory mediators are implicated.
Methods:
The REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAS... Read More about Serum amyloid protein is associated with outcome following acute ischaemic stroke: data from the REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAST).

Tranexamic acid for hyperacute primary IntraCerebral Haemorrhage (TICH-2): an international randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 superiority trial. Lancet, 391(10135), 2107-2115. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736%2818%2931033-X

Background
Tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces death due to bleeding after trauma and post-partum haemorrhage. The aim was to assess if tranexamic acid reduces haematoma expansion and improves outcome in adults with stroke due to intracerebral 6 haemorrha...

Sprigg, N., Flaherty, K., Law, Z. K., Appleton, J. P., Scutt, P., Krishnan, K., & Bath, P. M. (2018). Results from the tranexamic acid for primary intracerebral haemorrhage-2 (TICH-2) trial.

Background: Haematoma expansion leads to worse outcome in intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). Tranexamic acid (TXA) is a promising haemostatic agent to prevent haematoma expansion and improve outcome after ICH.
Methods: TICH-2 is a multicentre prospect... Read More about Results from the tranexamic acid for primary intracerebral haemorrhage-2 (TICH-2) trial.

Recruitment challenges in MRI studies of acute intracerebral haemorrhage: experience from the TICH-2 MRI substudy (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pszczolkowski, S., Bath, P. M., Sprigg, N., & Dineen, R. A. (2018). Recruitment challenges in MRI studies of acute intracerebral haemorrhage: experience from the TICH-2 MRI substudy.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely used in clinical practice and in trials for ischaemic stroke; however, relatively few large multicentre trials for intracerebral haemorrhage have used MRI. We describe the main recruitme... Read More about Recruitment challenges in MRI studies of acute intracerebral haemorrhage: experience from the TICH-2 MRI substudy.

International Journal of Stroke, 13(7), 759-765. https://doi.org/10.1177/1747493018772733

Rationale
Despite several large clinical trials assessing blood pressure lowering in acute stroke, equipoise remains, particularly for ischaemic stroke. The ‘Blood pressure in Acute Stroke Collaboration’ (BASC) commenced in the mid 1990s focusing on...
