Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Triple Antiplatelets for Reducing Dependency after Ischaemic Stroke’ (TARDIS) trial (2014)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Robson, K., Woodhouse, L. J., Sprigg, N., Dineen, R. A., & Pocock, S. J. (2015). Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Triple Antiplatelets for Reducing Dependency after Ischaemic Stroke’ (TARDIS) trial. International Journal of Stroke, 10(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/ijs.12445

Rationale: Antiplatelet agents such as aspirin, clopidogrel and dipyridamole are effective in reducing the risk of recurrence after a stroke. Importantly, the risk of recurrence is highest immediately after the index event while antiplatelets cause b...

Tranexamic acid for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: a randomized controlled pilot trial (ISRCTN50867461) (2014)
Journal Article
a randomized controlled pilot trial (ISRCTN50867461). Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 23(6), 1312-1318. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2013.11.007

Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) can be devastating, particularly if hematoma expansion (HE) occurs. Tranexamic acid (TA), an antifibrinolytic drug, significantly reduced mortality in bleeding patients after trauma in the large...

Inhibition of Rho-kinase protects cerebral barrier from ischaemia-evoked injury through modulations of endothelial cell oxidative stress and tight junctions (2014)
Journal Article
Gibson, C. L., Srivastava, K., Sprigg, N., Bath, P. M., & Bayrakutan, U. (in press). Inhibition of Rho-kinase protects cerebral barrier from ischaemia-evoked injury through modulations of endothelial cell oxidative stress and tight junctions. Journal of Neurochemistry, 129(5), https://doi.org/10.1111/jnc.12681

Ischaemic strokes evoke blood–brain barrier (BBB) disruption and oedema formation through a series of mechanisms involving Rho-kinase activation. Using an animal model of human focal cerebral ischaemia, this study assessed and confirmed the therapeut...

Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke’ (ENOS) trial (2014)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Houlton, A., Woodhouse, L. J., Sprigg, N., Wardlaw, J. M., & Pocock, S. J. (in press). Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke’ (ENOS) trial. International Journal of Stroke, 9(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/ijs.12235

High blood pressure is common during the acute phase of stroke and is associated with a poor outcome. However, the management of high blood pressure remains unclear. The ‘Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke’ trial tested whether transdermal glyceryl t... Read More about Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke’ (ENOS) trial.
