Interim analysis of ambulance logistics and timings in patients recruited into the Rapid intervention with Glyceryl trinitrate in Hypertensive stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2) (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Introduction: Stroke is a severe condition with high morbidity and mortality. Despite treatment effects in acute stroke being predominantly time dependent (e.g. thrombolysis and thrombectomy), proven treatments are hospital based and require prior br...

Baseline predictors of on-treatment platelet activity (as P-selectin expression) in patients in the triple aniplatelets for reducing dependency in ischaemic stroke (TARDIS) trial (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Platelet activity may be measured remotely as surface P-selectin expression. Predictors of on-treatment P-selectin expression were assessed using baseline characteristics in the TARDIS trial. Methods: TARDIS assessed intensive (combined...

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)
Conference Proceeding

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...

Serum amyloid protein is associated with outcome following acute ischaemic stroke: data from the REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAST) (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Remote ischaemic per-conditioning (RIC) in experimental ischaemic stroke is neuroprotective. Several neurohumoral, vascular and inflammatory mediators are implicated. Methods: The REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAS... Read More about Serum amyloid protein is associated with outcome following acute ischaemic stroke: data from the REmote ischaemic Conditioning After Stroke Trial (RECAST).

Platelet and haemoglobin levels in patients on isosorbide mononitrate and/or cilostazol with lacunar ischaemic stroke: data from the LACI-1 trial (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Cilostazol and isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) have properties that may be of benefit in the context of cerebral small vessel disease and lacunar ischaemic stroke. As both drugs may influence platelet and haemoglobin levels, we sought to as... Read More about Platelet and haemoglobin levels in patients on isosorbide mononitrate and/or cilostazol with lacunar ischaemic stroke: data from the LACI-1 trial.

Recruitment challenges in MRI studies of acute intracerebral haemorrhage: experience from the TICH-2 MRI substudy (2018)
Conference Proceeding

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.

Characteristics and outcomes of patients with or without a bleeding event: results from the triple antiplatelets for reducing dependency in ischaemic stroke (TARDIS) trial (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Several studies showed that hyperglycaemia is associated with poorer prognosis in intracerebral haemorrhage. We explored the characteristics and outcomes of patients with hyperglycaemia in the Tranexamic acid in IntraCerebral Haemorrhage-...

The effect of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate in acute stroke patients with carotid stenosis: data from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: There is concern that blood pressure lowering in acute stroke may compromise cerebral perfusion and worsen outcome in the context of carotid stenosis. The effect of glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) on outcome in acute stroke patients with caroti... Read More about The effect of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate in acute stroke patients with carotid stenosis: data from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial.

Consent procedures and relationship with outcome in the Rapid Intervention with Glyceryl trinitrate in Hypertensive stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2) (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Background: Obtaining consent in emergency situations is challenging. Proxy consent allows patients to be recruited when they lack capacity, a common scenario in stroke patients. The rapid intervention with glyceryl trinitrate in hypertensive stroke...
