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...

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.

Tranexamic acid for hyperacute primary IntraCerebral Haemorrhage (TICH-2): an international randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 3 superiority trial (2018)
Journal Article
Sprigg, N., Flaherty, K., Appleton, J. P., Al-Shahi Salman, R., Bereczki, D., Beridze, M., …Bath, P. M. (2018). 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...

Results from the tranexamic acid for primary intracerebral haemorrhage-2 (TICH-2) trial (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
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...

Protocol for a prospective collaborative systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data from randomised controlled trials of vasoactive drugs in acute stroke: the Blood pressure in Acute Stroke Collaboration, stage-3 (2018)
Journal Article
Sandset, E. C., Sanossian, N., Woodhouse, L. J., Anderson, C., Berge, E., Lees, K. R., …Bath, P. M. (2018). Protocol for a prospective collaborative systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data from randomised controlled trials of vasoactive drugs in acute stroke: the Blood pressure in Acute Stroke Collaboration, stage-3. 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...

Haemostatic therapies for acute spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Shahi Salman, R., Law, Z. K., Bath, P. M., Steiner, T., & Sprigg, N. (2018). Haemostatic therapies for acute spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Article CD005951. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD005951.pub4

Background: Outcome after spontaneous (non-traumatic) intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is influenced by haematoma volume; up to one-third of ICHs enlarge within 24 hours of onset. Early haemostatic therapy might improve outcome by limiting haematoma g... Read More about Haemostatic therapies for acute spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage.

Background For adults surviving stroke due to spontaneous (non-traumatic) intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) who had taken an antithrombotic (i.e. anticoagulant or antiplatelet) drug for the prevention of vaso-occlusive disease before the ICH, it is...
