Analysis of Endothelial Progenitor Cell Subtypes as Clinical Biomarkers for Elderly Patients with Ischaemic Stroke (2023)
Journal Article

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), expressing markers for stemness (CD34), immaturity (CD133) and endothelial maturity (KDR), may determine the extent of post-stroke vascular repair. Given the prevalence of stroke in elderly, this study explored wh...

Prevention of infections and fever to improve outcome in older patients with acute stroke (PRECIOUS): a randomised, open, phase III, multifactorial, clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment (2023)
Journal Article

Background Infections and fever after stroke are associated with poor functional outcome or death. We assessed whether prophylactic treatment with anti-emetic, antibiotic, or antipyretic medication would improve functional outcome in older patient...

Challenges and Experiences in Multicenter Prehospital Stroke Research: Narrative Data from the Rapid Intervention with Glyceryl Trinitrate in Hypertensive Stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2) (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Ambulance services are increasingly research active and the Rapid Intervention with Glyceryl trinitrate in Hypertensive stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2) is the largest United Kingdom (UK) ambulance-based randomized controlled trial in stroke. We...

Evaluating artificial intelligence software for delineating hemorrhage extent on CT brain imaging in stroke: AI delineation of ICH on CT. (2023)
Journal Article

Background: : The extent and distribution of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) directly affects clinical management. Artificial intelligence (AI) software can detect and may delineate ICH extent on brain CT. We evaluated e-ASPECTS software (Brainomix Ltd...

Cerebral edema in intracerebral hemorrhage: pathogenesis, natural history, and potential treatments from translation to clinical trials (2023)
Journal Article

Acute intracerebral hemorrhage is the most devastating stroke subtype and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Poor prognosis is associated with primary brain injury from the presenting hematoma, and despite advances in clinical tr...

Blood pressure medication and acute kidney injury after intracerebral haemorrhage: an analysis of the ATACH-II trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Acute blood pressure (BP) reduction is standard of care after acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). More acute BP reduction is associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). It is not known if the choice of antihypertensive medications affec...

Optimising the analysis of vascular prevention trials: Re-Assessment of the TARDIS trial, the first prevention trial to adopt an ordinal primary outcome measure (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Ordinalised vascular outcomes incorporating event severity are more informative than binary outcomes that just include event numbers. The TARDIS trial was the first vascular prevention study to use an ordinalised vascular outcome as its p...

Desmopressin for patients with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage taking antiplatelet drugs (DASH): a UK-based, phase 2, randomised, placebo-controlled, multicentre feasibility trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background: The risk of death from spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage is increased for people taking antiplatelet drugs. We aimed to assess the feasibility of randomising patients on antiplatelet drug therapy with spontaneous intracerebral haemorr...

Effects of blood pressure and tranexamic acid in spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage: A secondary analysis of a large randomised controlled trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background Tranexamic acid reduced haematoma expansion and early death, but did not improve functional outcome in the tranexamic acid for hyperacute spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage-2 (TICH-2) trial. In a predefined subgroup, there was a statist...

Prehospital transdermal glyceryl trinitrate for ultra-acute ischaemic stroke: data from the RIGHT-2 randomised sham-controlled ambulance trial (2023)
Journal Article

Background The effect of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate (GTN, a nitrovasodilator) on clinical outcome when administered before hospital admission in suspected stroke patients is unclear. Here, we assess the safety and efficacy of GTN in the prespeci...
