Reanalysis of EXTEND perfusion imaging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46485 70 ml (n = 9), and no perfusion lesion/lack of penumbral tissue (n = 20). The revised perfusion lesion volumes were significantly smaller compared to the original RAPID volumes (median 68 ml IQR 34–102 ml vs. 42 ml 16–92 ml, p = 0.036). Of the patients who met the revised mismatch criteria, 40% receiving alteplase had modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0–1 at 3-month compared to 28% with placebo (Adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) = 2.23, CI 1.08–4.58, p = 0.028). In contrast, in the original mismatch cohort, 35% receiving alteplase had mRS 0–1 at 3-month compared to 30% with placebo (adjusted OR = 1.88, p = 0.056). Conclusions: These data reinforce the benefit of alteplase in the later time window, and suggest that differences in automated perfusion imaging software outputs may be clinically relevant.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 07:51:52 AEDT ]]> Extending thrombolysis to 4.5-9 h and wake-up stroke using perfusion imaging: a systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41666 Wed 10 Aug 2022 12:13:25 AEST ]]> White matter degeneration after ischemic stroke: a longitudinal diffusion tensor imaging study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35216 .05).

Result: Of 132 patients, 70 were treated with thrombolysis, and 14 (10.6%) developed PH on follow-up imaging. Baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (P=0.033) and thrombolysis (P=0.003) were both predictive of PH. Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that Tmax>14 s (area under the curve=0.748; P=0.002) and relative cerebral blood flow <30% of contralateral mean (area under the curve=0.689, P=0.021) were the optimal thresholds, and the Bayesian information criterion (+2.6) indicated that Tmax was more strongly associated with PH than relative cerebral blood flow. Tmax14 s volumes of >5 mL allowed prediction of PH with sensitivity of 79%, specificity of 68%, and negative likelihood ratio of 3.16. Tmax>14 s volume and thrombolysis were both independently predictive of PH in a multivariate logistic regression model (P<0.05). Conclusions: Tmax >14 s was the CTP parameter most strongly associated with PH. This outperformed relative cerebral blood flow <30%, which closely equates to CTP estimates of ischemic core volume. Although ischemic core volume on CTP is useful in the pretreatment prediction of PH, severe hypoperfusion on Tmax is more strongly associated and may allow better prediction of the likely anatomic location of hemorrhage.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:47 AEDT ]]> Spectroscopy of reperfused tissue after stroke reveals heightened metabolism in patients with good clinical outcomes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20363 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:13 AEDT ]]> Imaging selection in ischemic stroke: feasibility of automated CT-perfusion analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27117 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:36 AEDT ]]> Contralesional thalamic surface atrophy and functional disconnection 3 months after ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27975 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:38:43 AEDT ]]> The association between lesion location and functional outcome after ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26463 1). Results: Overall, 152 patients (82 left hemisphere) were included. Median diffusion lesion volume was 37.0 ml, and median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Score was 13. In the left hemisphere, the strongest determinants of nonfavorable outcome were infarction of the uncinate fasciculus, followed by precuneus, angular gyrus and total diffusion lesion volume. In the right hemisphere, the strongest determinants of nonfavorable outcome were infarction of the parietal lobe followed by the putamen. Conclusions: Assessment of infarct location using CART demonstrates regional characteristics associated with poor outcome. Prognostically important locations include limbic, default-mode and language areas in the left hemisphere, and visuospatial and motor regions in the right hemisphere.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:16 AEDT ]]> Know your tools-concordance of different methods for measuring brain volume change after ischemic stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28115 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:58 AEDT ]]> Endovascular Thrombectomy Versus Medical Management in Isolated M2 Occlusions: Pooled Patient-Level Analysis from the EXTEND-IA Trials, INSPIRE, and SELECT Studies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48932 Mon 17 Apr 2023 15:37:11 AEST ]]> Tranexamic acid in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (STOP-AUST): a multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44500 7, intracerebral haemorrhage volume <70 mL, no identified or suspected secondary cause of intracerebral haemorrhage, no thrombotic events within the previous 12 months, no planned surgery in the next 24 h, and no use of anticoagulation), had contrast extravasation on CT angiography (the so-called spot sign), and were treatable within 4·5 h of symptom onset and within 1 h of CT angiography. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either 1 g of intravenous tranexamic acid over 10 min followed by 1 g over 8 h or matching placebo, started within 4·5 h of symptom onset. Randomisation was done using a centralised web-based procedure with randomly permuted blocks of varying size. All patients, investigators, and staff involved in patient management were masked to treatment. The primary outcome was intracerebral haemorrhage growth (>33% relative or >6 mL absolute) at 24 h. The primary and safety analyses were done in the intention-to-treat population. The trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01702636). Findings: Between March 1, 2013, and Aug 13, 2019, we enrolled and randomly assigned 100 participants to the tranexamic acid group (n=50) or the placebo group (n=50). Median age was 71 years (IQR 57-79) and median intracerebral haemorrhage volume was 14·6 mL (7·9-32·7) at baseline. The primary outcome was not different between the two groups: 26 (52%) patients in the placebo group and 22 (44%) in the tranexamic acid group had intracerebral haemorrhage growth (odds ratio [OR] 0·72 [95% CI 0·32-1·59], p=0·41). There was no evidence of a difference in the proportions of patients who died or had thromboembolic complications between the groups: eight (16%) in the placebo group vs 13 (26%) in the tranexamic acid group died and two (4%) vs one (2%) had thromboembolic complications. None of the deaths was considered related to study medication. Interpretation: Our study does not provide evidence that tranexamic acid prevents intracerebral haemorrhage growth, although the treatment was safe with no increase in thromboembolic complications. Larger trials of tranexamic acid, with simpler recruitment methods and an earlier treatment window, are justified.
