Journal Article
Bath, P. M., Robson, K., Woodhouse, L. J., Sprigg, N., Dineen, R. A., & Pocock, S. J. (2015). Statistical analysis plan for the ‘Triple Antiplatelets for Reducing Dependency after Ischaemic Stroke’ (TARDIS) trial. International Journal of Stroke, 10(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/ijs.12445

Rationale: Antiplatelet agents such as aspirin, clopidogrel and dipyridamole are effective in reducing the risk of recurrence after a stroke. Importantly, the risk of recurrence is highest immediately after the index event while antiplatelets cause b...
