Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Scutt, P., Appleton, J. P., Dixon, M., Woodhouse, L. J., Wardlaw, J. M., & Sprigg, N. (2018). Baseline characteristics of the 1149 patients recruited into the Rapid Intervention with Glyceryl trinitrate in Hypertensive stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2) randomized controlled trial. International Journal of Stroke, 14(3), 298-305. https://doi.org/10.1177/1747493018816451

Background: High blood pressure (BP) is common in acute stroke and associated with a worse functional outcome. Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), a nitric oxide donor, lowers BP in acute stroke and may improve outcome. Aims: RIGHT-2 tested the feasibility o...

Rationale: Glyceryl trinitrate, a nitric oxide donor, is a candidate treatment for acute stroke; it lowers blood pressure, does not alter cerebral blood flow or platelet function and is neuroprotective in experimental stroke. The ongoing rapid interv... Read More about Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Rapid Intervention with Glyceryl trinitrate in Hypertensive stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2)’.
