At 1-month follow-up, 93 participants were categorized as matched and 195 as mismatched. They preferred text mode (493/803, 61.4%) over combined (216/803, 26.9%) and video modes (94/803, 11.7%). After the intervention, 20% (26/132) of matched-group participants and 34% (96/282) in the mismatched group changed their delivery mode preference. Time effects were significant for all physical activity outcomes (total physical activity: F2,801 = 5.07, P = .009; number of activity sessions: F2,801 = 7.52, P < .001; walking: F2,801 = 8.32, P < .001; moderate physical activity: F2,801 = 9.53, P < .001; and vigorous physical activity: F2,801 = 6.04, P = .002), indicating that physical activity increased over time for both matched and mismatched groups. Matched-group participants improved physical activity outcomes slightly more than those in the mismatched group, but interaction effects were not significant. Physical activity advice acceptability (content scale: t368 = .10, P = .92; layout scale: t368 = 1.53, P = .12) and website usability (layout scale: t426 = .05, P = .96; ease of use scale: t426 = .21, P = .83) were generally high and did not differ between the matched and mismatched groups. The only significant difference (t621 = 2.16, P = .03) was in relation to total time spent on the website: the mismatched group spent significantly more time on the website (14.4 minutes) than the matched group (12.1 minutes). Conclusion: Participants’ preference regarding delivery mode may not significantly influence intervention outcomes. Consequently, allowing participants to choose their preferred delivery mode may not increase effectiveness of Web-based interventions.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:23:17 AEST ]]> Moving beyond a single perfusion threshold to define penumbra: a novel probabilistic mismatch definition https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21715 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:06:26 AEDT ]]> EPITHET: positive result after reanalysis using baseline diffusion-weighted imaging/perfusion-weighted imaging co-registration https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17780 1.2 and total coregistered mismatch volume was ≥10 mL. The primary outcome was a comparison of infarct growth in alteplase vs placebo patients with coregistered mismatch. Of 99 patients with baseline diffusion-weighted imaging and perfusion-weighted imaging, coregistration of both images was possible in 95 patients. Coregistered mismatch was present in 93% (88/95) compared to 85% (81/95) with standard volumetric mismatch. In the coregistered mismatch patients, of whom 45 received alteplase and 43 received placebo, the primary outcome measure of geometric mean infarct growth was significantly attenuated by a ratio of 0.58 with alteplase compared to placebo (1.02 vs 1.77; 95% CI, 0.33–0.99; P=0.0459). When using coregistration techniques to determine the presence of mismatch at study entry, alteplase significantly attenuated infarct growth. This highlights the necessity for a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase III clinical trial of alteplase using penumbral selection beyond 3 hours.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:41 AEDT ]]> Selection of thrombolytic therapy beyond 3 h using magnetic resonance imaging https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:117 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:43:16 AEDT ]]> Perfusion/diffusion mismatch is valid and should be used for selecting delayed interventions https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23766 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:08 AEDT ]]>
