The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to invest in care home research infrastructure (2022)
Journal Article
Gordon, A. L., Rick, C., Juszczak, E., Montgomery, A., Howard, R., Guthrie, B., …Tate, V. (2022). The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need to invest in care home research infrastructure. Age and Ageing, 51(3), Article afac052. https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afac052

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in catastrophic levels of morbidity and mortality for care home residents. Despite this, research platforms for COVID-19 in care homes arrived late in the pandemic compared with other care settings. The Prophylactic The...

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism, 40(7), 1402-1414. https://doi.org/10.1177/0271678x20910552

© The Author(s) 2020. Assessment of outcome in preclinical studies of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is heterogenous. Through an ARUK Scottish Network supported questionnaire and workshop (mostly UK-based researchers), we aimed to determine unde...

The pattern of penetration and aspiration in acute stroke survivors (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Everton, L., Benfield, J., Michou, E., Hamdy, S., & Bath, P. M. (2018). The pattern of penetration and aspiration in acute stroke survivors.

Background and Aims: Aspiration is common in acute stroke survivors with dysphagia, is associated with increased pneumonia rates, and is an independent predictor of mortality. However, studies evaluating the nature and pattern of penetration and aspi... Read More about The pattern of penetration and aspiration in acute stroke survivors.

Interruption to antiplatelet therapy early after acute ischaemic stroke: a nested case-control study (2017)
Journal Article
Mazlan-Kepli, W., Macisaac, R. L., Walters, M., Bath, P. M. W., & Dawson, J. (2017). Interruption to antiplatelet therapy early after acute ischaemic stroke: a nested case-control study. British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 83(9), https://doi.org/10.1111/bcp.13290

Aims: Antiplatelet drugs are often discontinued early after ischaemic stroke, either because of poor compliance, complications or withdrawal of care. It is unclear whether this places patients at increased risk of recurrence. We explored the associat...

Remote Ischaemic Conditioning after Stroke Trial (RECAST): a pilot randomised placebo controlled phase II trial in acute ischaemic stroke (ISRCTN 86672015) (2017)
Journal Article
England, T. J., Hedstrom, A., O'Sullivan, S., Donnelly, R., Barrett, D. A., Sarmad, S., …Bath, P. M. (2017). Remote Ischaemic Conditioning after Stroke Trial (RECAST): a pilot randomised placebo controlled phase II trial in acute ischaemic stroke (ISRCTN 86672015). Stroke, 48(5), https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.116.016429

Background: Repeated episodes of limb ischaemia and reperfusion (remote ischaemic conditioning, RIC) may improve outcome after acute stroke. Methods: We performed a pilot blinded placebo-controlled trial in patients with acute ischaemic stroke, ra...

Investigating the effect of independent blinded digital image assessment on the STOP GAP trial (2017)
Journal Article
Patsko, E., Godolphin, P. J., Thomas, K. S., Hepburn, T., Mitchell, E., Craig, F. E., …Montgomery, A. A. (2017). Investigating the effect of independent blinded digital image assessment on the STOP GAP trial. Trials, 18(1), Article 53. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-017-1779-9

Background Blinding is the process of keeping treatment assignment hidden and is used to minimise the possibility of bias. Trials at high risk of bias have been shown to report larger treatment effects than low risk studies. In dermatology, one popu...

Interventions for deliberately altering blood pressure in acute stroke (2014)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., & Krishnan, K. (2014). Interventions for deliberately altering blood pressure in acute stroke. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014(10), Article CD000039. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD000039.pub3

Background: It is unclear whether blood pressure should be altered actively during the acute phase of stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 1997, and previously updated in 2001 and 2008. Objectives: To assess the clinical...
