Reference EntryDOI
Organised inpatient (stroke unit) care for stroke
Lindsay Govan,Peter Langhorne,Martin Dennis,Graeme J. Hankey,Christopher J. Weir,B.O. Williams,Kjell Asplund,P. Berman,Christian Blomstrand,M. Britton,N. L. Cabral,A. Cavallini,Paola Dey,Elisabeth Hamrin,G. Hankey,Bent Indredavik,L. Kalra,Markku Kaste,S. O. Laursen +18 more
TL;DR: Outcomes were independent of patient age, sex or stroke severity, but appeared to be better in stroke units based in a discrete ward, and there was no indication that organised stroke unit care resulted in a longer hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is hyperglycaemia an independent predictor of poor outcome after acute stroke? Results of a long-term follow up study.
TL;DR: Raised plasma glucose concentration above 8 mmol/l after acute stroke predicts a poor prognosis after correcting for age, stroke severity, and stroke subtype and should arguably be treated actively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Neurological Scales and Scoring Systems for Acute Stroke Prognosis
TL;DR: Baseline NIHSS best predicts 3-month outcome, and the Canadian Neurological Scale and Middle Cerebral Artery Neurological Score also perform well.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive designs in clinical trials: why use them, and how to run and report them
Philip Pallmann,Alun Bedding,Babak Choodari-Oskooei,Munyaradzi Dimairo,Laura Flight,Lisa V. Hampson,Lisa V. Hampson,Jane Holmes,Adrian Mander,Lang’o Odondi,Matthew R. Sydes,Sofia S. Villar,James Wason,James Wason,Christopher J. Weir,Graham M. Wheeler,Graham M. Wheeler,Christina Yap,Thomas Jaki +18 more
TL;DR: This tutorial paper provides guidance on key aspects of adaptive designs that are relevant to clinical triallists, and emphasises the general principles of transparency and reproducibility and suggest how best to put them into practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of upper limb recovery after stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: The most important predictive factors for upper limb recovery following stroke appears to be the initial severity of motor impairment or function.
