The primary outcome was good functional outcome at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale score, 0-2).CTP was acquired in 138 of 316 ESCAPE patients. Penumbral patterns were present in 116 of 128 (90.6%) of patients with interpretable CTP data. The rate of good functional outcome in penumbral pattern patients (53 of 114; 46%) was higher than that in nonpenumbral patients (2 of 12; 17%; P=0.041). In penumbral patients, endovascular therapy increased the likelihood of a good clinical outcome (34 of 58; 57%) compared with those in the control group (19 of 58; 33%; odds ratio, 2.68; 95% confidence interval, 1.25-5.76; P=0.011). Only 3 of 12 nonpenumbral patients were randomized to the endovascular group, preventing an analysis of treatment effect.The majority of patients with CTP imaging in the ESCAPE trial had penumbral patterns, which were associated with better outcomes overall. Patients with penumbra treated with endovascular therapy had the greatest odds of good functional outcome. Nonpenumbral patients were much less likely to achieve good outcomes.]]> Tue 13 Sep 2022 12:47:32 AEST ]]> An assistant workforce to improve screening rates and quality of care for older patients in the emergency department: findings of a pre- post, mixed methods study. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37772 Thu 15 Apr 2021 13:25:53 AEST ]]> An assistant workforce to improve screening rates and quality of care for older patients in the emergency department: findings of a pre- post, mixed methods study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32811 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:39:56 AEST ]]>
