External validity of randomised controlled trials: “To whom do the results of this trial apply?”

Peter M. Rothwell
- 01 Jan 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a checklist for clinicians to consider external validity in the design and reporting of RCTs and make recommendations for greater consideration of external validity for clinical trials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic significance of visit-to-visit variability, maximum systolic blood pressure, and episodic hypertension.

TL;DR: Visit-to-visit variability in systolic blood pressure (SBP) and maximum SBP are strong predictors of stroke, independent of mean SBP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Analysis of pooled data from the randomised controlled trials of endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis.

TL;DR: Re-analysis of the trials with the same measurements and definitions yielded highly consistent results, indicating that surgery is of some benefit for patients with 50-69% symptomatic stenosis, and highly beneficial for those with 70% symptome stenosis or greater but without near-occlusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis in relation to clinical subgroups and timing of surgery

TL;DR: Benefit from endarterectomy depends not only on the degree of carotid stenosis, but also on several other clinical characteristics such as delay to surgery after the presenting event, and on the timing of surgery.
