Assessment of consent models as an ethical consideration in the conduct of prehospital ambulance randomised controlled clinical trials: a systematic review (2017)
Journal Article

Background We sought to understand the main ethical considerations when conducting clinical trials in the prehospital ambulance based setting. Methods A systematic review of the literature on randomised controlled trials in ambulance setting...

The incidence of first stroke in pregnant and non-pregnant women of childbearing age: a population-based cohort study from England (2017)
Journal Article

Background: Pregnant women may have an increased risk of stroke compared to non-pregnant women of similar age, but the magnitude and the timing of such risk are unclear. We examined the risk of first stroke event in women of childbearing age and comp...

Magnetic resonance imaging plaque hemorrhage for risk stratification in carotid artery disease with moderate risk under current medical therapy (2017)
Journal Article

Background and Purpose—Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–defined carotid plaque hemorrhage (MRIPH) can predict recurrent cerebrovascular ischemic events in severe symptomatic carotid stenosis. It is less clear whether MRIPH can improve risk stratifica...

Understanding the relationship between costs and the modified Rankin Scale: a systematic review, multidisciplinary consensus and recommendations for future studies (2016)
Journal Article

Background and purpose: Cost-of-illness studies often describe a single aggregate cost of a disease state. This approach is less helpful for a condition with a spectrum of outcomes like stroke. The modified Rankin Scale is the most commonly used outc...

Baseline characteristics of the 3,096 patients recruited into the 'Triple Antiplatelets for Reducing Dependency after Ischaemic Stroke' (TARDIS) trial (2016)
Journal Article

Background: The risk of recurrence following ischaemic stroke (IS) or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) is highest immediately after the event. Antiplatelet agents are effective in reducing the risk of recurrence and two agents are superior to one in...
