Statistical analysis of the primary outcome in acute stroke trials [PDF]
Common outcome scales in acute stroke trials are ordered categorical or pseudocontinuous in structure but most have been analyzed as binary measures. The use of fixed dichotomous analysis of ordered categorical outcomes after stroke (such as the modified

Changes in Immune‐Inflammation Status and Acute Ischemic Stroke Prognosis in Prospective Cohort
ABSTRACT Background Inflammation is a critical risk factor for poor outcomes in cerebral infarction. Prior studies focused primarily on baseline inflammation status, neglecting dynamic longitudinal changes. We try to investigate the association between immune‐inflammation status alterations and stroke prognosis, and evaluated three systemic biomarkers'

The SITS-UTMOST: a registry-based prospective study in Europe investigating the impact of regulatory approval of intravenous Actilyse in the extended time window (3–4.5 h) in acute ischaemic stroke [PDF]
Introduction: The SITS-UTMOST (Safe Implementation of Thrombolysis in Upper Time window Monitoring Study) was a registry-based prospective study of intravenous alteplase used in the extended time window (3–4.5 h) in acute ischaemic stroke to evaluate ...

Argatroban plus alteplase in posterior versus anterior circulation stroke
Objective ARAIS trial failed to demonstrate benefit of argatroban as an adjunct to alteplase for stroke. Given differences between anterior circulation stroke (ACS) and posterior circulation stroke (PCS), we performed prespecified secondary analysis to ...

Comprehensive Review of Tenecteplase for Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Although intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase remains the primary treatment for acute ischemic stroke, tenecteplase has shown potential advantages over alteplase.

ABSTRACT Objective Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before thrombectomy for ischemic stroke may alter clot structure and procedural performance. We investigated how IVT relates to thrombectomy metrics across stroke etiologies. Methods We performed a time‐to‐event analysis of consecutive patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (acLVO ...

The budget impact of alteplase in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Egypt
IntroductionStroke is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. Five percent of all the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost around the world are attributed to stroke. This study aimed to assess the economic burden of acute ischemic stroke (

Mismatch-based delayed thrombolysis: a meta-analysis [PDF]
<p><b>Background and Purpose</b>: Clinical benefit from thrombolysis is reduced as stroke onset to treatment time increases. The use of "mismatch" imaging to identify patients for delayed treatment has face validity and has been used in
