Improving Accuracy of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Volume Measurement Using Three-Dimensional Modeling and Physical Displacement

Open DOI

Jessica Garcia-Chan, Hassan Abdal, Muhammad Abubakar Ayub et al.

Introduction: Accurate intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volume measurement is critical for prognostication, but the widely used ABC/2 method may lack accuracy for irregular hematomas. Our group evaluated the feasibility of three dimensiona...

Research-Evidence-Practice Gaps in Post-stroke Neuro-recovery Pharmacological Therapies in Asia

Open DOI

Hou Chang Chiu, Yangchen Yangchen, Dayangku Siti Nur Ashikin Pengiran Tengah et al.

Background: Our recently-published systematic-search-and-review identified eight registered treatments with level A or B-R evidence of improving neuro-recovery after a stroke. In this study, we aimed to assess their availability, usage, ...

Stroke Associated-Infections after Mechanical Thrombectomy: Analysis of the Stroke-Associated INfection afTer Mechanical Thrombectomy (SAINT-MT) study

Open DOI

Charles Berman, Andy Vail, Ioana Iancu et al.

Introduction Despite the established benefit of Mechanical Thrombectomy (MT), data on the incidence, risk factors, and longer-term outcomes of Stroke-Associated Infections (SAIs) in this population remain limited. This retrospective, sin...

Demographic Refinement and Atrial Fibrillation Type in Stroke Risk Stratification Beyond CHA2DS2 VASc

Open DOI

Karim M. Mahawish, Rita V. Krishnamurthi, Suzanne Barker-Collo et al.

Introduction: The CHA2DS2 VASc score is widely used for stroke risk stratification in atrial fibrillation (AF). Efforts to improve prediction using demographic refinements have uncertain incremental value, particularly in multi-ethnic po...

Rates, risks and routes to reduce vascular dementia (R4VaD), a UK-wide multicentre prospective observational cohort study of cognition after stroke: baseline data and statistical analysis plan (ISRCTN18274006)

Open DOI

Philip M Bath, Ellen V Backhouse, Rosalind Brown et al.

Introduction: Stroke is often followed by vascular cognitive impairment and vascular dementia, the most feared complications of stroke. However, understanding of post-stroke cognitive impairment remains limited. Methods: Rates, Risks and...

Hypoperfusion Intensity Ratio as a Predictive Marker in Pre-Endovascular Treatment Perfusion MRI for Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion with Intracranial Atherosclerosis

Open DOI

Yoonkyung Lee, Jae-Kwan Cha, Dae-Hyun Kim et al.

Introduction Identifying the cause of MCA occlusion before endovascular treatment (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke is useful. Hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) is defined as the volumetric ratio of tissue with a time-to-maximum (Tmax) >1...

A Retrospective Study of Outcome Predictive Models for Anterior Circulation Stroke Post Endovascular Thrombectomy: Are CT-Derived Morphomics Useful?

Open DOI

Constantin Manole, Sahil Shet, Alan O Apos Brien et al.

Introduction: In acute ischaemic stroke secondary to a large vessel occlusion, endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the standard of care. However, prediction of functional outcomes following EVT remains challenging. We sought to determine ...

Feasibility of DOAC Dipstick point-of-care testing in patients with acute stroke and transient ischemic attack

Open DOI

Maximilian Ziegler, Kristina Szabo, Carolin Hoyer et al.

Background In patients with acute stroke, the plasma concentrations of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) need to be known for further treatment decisions. The point-of-care test DOAC Dipstick contains two test pads that determine levels...

Endovascular therapy for isolated M2 occlusion in patients with ischemic stroke: A propensity score-matched analysis

Open DOI

Noriyuki Sahara, Go Hashimoto, Kuniyuki Nakamura et al.

Introduction Endovascular therapy (EVT) is an established treatment for large vessel occlusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke; however, its efficacy for medium vessel occlusions, particularly isolated M2 segment occlusions, remai...
