Effect of telmisartan on functional outcome, recurrence, and blood pressure in patients with acute mild ischemic stroke: a PRoFESS subgroup analysis (2009)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Martin, R. H., Palesch, Y., Cotton, D., Yusuf, S., Sacco, R. L., …Roberts, R. (2009). Effect of telmisartan on functional outcome, recurrence, and blood pressure in patients with acute mild ischemic stroke: a PRoFESS subgroup analysis. Stroke, 40(11), 3541-3546. https://doi.org/10.1161/strokeaha.109.555623

Background and Purpose: High blood pressure (BP) is common in acute ischemic stroke and associated independently with a poor functional outcome. However, the management of BP acutely remains unclear because no large trials have been completed.

Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor in experimental stroke and its effects on infarct size and functional outcome: a systematic review (2009)
Journal Article
England, T. J., Gibson, C. L., & Bath, P. M. (2009). Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor in experimental stroke and its effects on infarct size and functional outcome: a systematic review. Brain Research, 62(1), 71-82. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.brainresrev.2009.09.002

Background
Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) shows promise as a treatment for stroke. This systematic review assesses G-CSF in experimental ischaemic stroke.

Methods
Relevant studies were identified with searches of Medline, Embase a... Read More about Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor in experimental stroke and its effects on infarct size and functional outcome: a systematic review.

Relationship between therapeutic changes in blood pressure and outcomes in acute stroke: a metaregression (2009)
Journal Article
Geeganage, C., & Bath, P. M. (in press). Relationship between therapeutic changes in blood pressure and outcomes in acute stroke: a metaregression. Hypertension, 54(4), https://doi.org/10.1161/hypertensionaha.109.133538

Both low and high blood pressure (BP) during the acute phase of stroke are associated independently with a poor outcome. Several small clinical trials have involved the alteration of BP and this study assessed the relationship between change in BP an...

Relationship between hyperacute blood pressure and outcome after ischemic stroke: data from the VISTA Collaboration (2009)
Journal Article
Sare, G. M., Ali, M., Shuaib, A., & Bath, P. M. (2009). Relationship between hyperacute blood pressure and outcome after ischemic stroke: data from the VISTA Collaboration. Stroke, 40(6), https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.108.539155

Background and Purpose—High blood pressure (BP) is associated independently with poor outcome after acute ischemic stroke, although in most analyses “baseline” BP was measured 24 hours or more postictus, and not during the hyperacute period.
