Noncontrast Computed Tomography Signs as Predictors of Hematoma Expansion, Clinical Outcome and Response to Tranexamic Acid in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage (2019)
Journal Article
Law, Z. K., Ali, A., Krishnan, K., Bischoff, A., Appleton, J., Scutt, P., …Sprigg, N. (2020). Noncontrast Computed Tomography Signs as Predictors of Hematoma Expansion, Clinical Outcome and Response to Tranexamic Acid in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Stroke, 51(1), 121–128. https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.119.026128

Background and purpose Blend, black hole and island signs and hypodensities are reported to predict hematoma expansion in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We explored the value of these noncontrast CT (NCCT) signs in predicting hematoma expan...

Prehospital Transdermal Glyceryl Trinitrate for Ultra-Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage (2019)
Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Woodhouse, L. J., Krishnan, K., Appleton, J. P., Anderson, C. S., Berge, E., …Sprigg, N. (2019). Prehospital Transdermal Glyceryl Trinitrate for Ultra-Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Stroke, 50(11), 3064-3071. https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.119.026389

Background and Purpose— Pilot trials suggest that glyceryl trinitrate (GTN; nitroglycerin) may improve outcome when administered early after stroke onset. Methods— We undertook a multicentre, paramedic-delivered, ambulance-based, prospective ran... Read More about Prehospital Transdermal Glyceryl Trinitrate for Ultra-Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Tranexamic acid to improve functional status in adults with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage: the TICH-2 RCT (2019)
Journal Article
Sprigg, N., Flaherty, K., Appleton, J. P., Al-Shahi Salman, R., Bereczki, D., Beridze, M., …Bath, P. M. (2019). Tranexamic acid to improve functional status in adults with spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage: the TICH-2 RCT. Health Technology Assessment, 23(35), 1-48. https://doi.org/10.3310/hta23350

BACKGROUND: Tranexamic acid reduces death due to bleeding after trauma and postpartum haemorrhage. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to assess if tranexamic acid is safe, reduces haematoma expansion and improves outcomes in adults with spontaneous...
