Background: Intensive antiplatelet therapy with three agents might be more effective than guideline treatment for preventing recurrent events in patients with acute cerebral ischaemia. We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy of intensive antiplat...

Route of feeding as a proxy for dysphagia after stroke and the effect of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate: data from the efficacy of nitric oxide in stroke randomised controlled trial (2017)
Journal Article
Woodhouse, L. J., Scutt, P., Hamdy, S., Smithard, D., Cohen, D. L., Roffe, C., …Bath, P. M. (in press). Route of feeding as a proxy for dysphagia after stroke and the effect of transdermal glyceryl trinitrate: data from the efficacy of nitric oxide in stroke randomised controlled trial. Translational Stroke Research, 9(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s12975-017-0548-0

Post-stroke dysphagia is common, associated with poor outcome and often requires non-oral feeding/fluids. The relationship between route of feeding and outcome, as well as treatment with glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), was studied prospectively. The Effic...

Infections up to 76 days after stroke increase disability and death (2017)
Journal Article
Learoyd, A., Woodhouse, L. J., Shaw, L., Sprigg, N., Bereczki, D., Berge, E., …Trueman, R. C. (in press). Infections up to 76 days after stroke increase disability and death. Translational Stroke Research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s12975-017-0553-3

Early infection after stroke is associated with a poor outcome. We aimed to determine whether delayed infections (up to 76 days post-stroke) are associated with poor outcome at 90 days. Data came from the international Efficacy of Nitric Oxide Stroke... Read More about Infections up to 76 days after stroke increase disability and death.

Remote assessment of platelet function in patients with acute stroke or transient ischaemic attack (2017)
Journal Article

Remote assessment of platelet function in patients with acute stroke or transient ischaemic attack. Stroke Research and Treatment, 2017, Article 7365684. https://doi.org/10.1155/2017/7365684

Background: Antiplatelets reduce recurrence after cerebral ischaemia. The international TARDIS trial assessed the safety and efficacy of intensive (combined aspirin, dipyridamole and clopidogrel) versus guideline (aspirin and dipyridamole, or clopido...

Continuing or temporarily stopping prestroke antihypertensive medication in acute stroke: an individual patient data meta-analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Woodhouse, L. J., Manning, L., Potter, J. F., Berge, E., Sprigg, N., Wardlaw, J., …Robinson, T. G. (2017). Continuing or temporarily stopping prestroke antihypertensive medication in acute stroke: an individual patient data meta-analysis. Hypertension, 69(5), https://doi.org/10.1161/HYPERTENSIONAHA.116.07982

Over 50% of patients are already taking blood pressure–lowering therapy on hospital admission for acute stroke. An individual patient data meta-analysis from randomized controlled trials was undertaken to determine the effect of continuation versus t...
