20-year trends of characteristics and outcomes of stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
(2018)Background: The accurate knowledge of secular trends in prevalence, characteristics and outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke and atrial fibrillation allows better projections into the future. Aim: We aimed to report ... -
Anticoagulation for stroke prevention after embolic stroke of undetermined source of presumably cardiac source: The sail to Ithaca
(2022)[No abstract available] -

Associations between change in blood pressure and functional outcome, early events and death: Results from the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke trial
(2019)Objectives:High blood pressure (BP) is associated with a poor outcome after acute stroke. Early reduction in BP may be associated with fewer early adverse events and deaths, and improved functional outcome.Methods:Analyses ... -
Central masked adjudication of stroke diagnosis at trial entry offered no advantage over diagnosis by local clinicians: Secondary analysis and simulation
(2018)Background: Central adjudication of stroke type is commonly implemented in large multicentre clinical trials. We investigated the effect of central adjudication of diagnosis of stroke type at trial entry in the Efficacy ... -
Data-driven machine-learning analysis of potential embolic sources in embolic stroke of undetermined source
(2021)Background and purpose: Hierarchical clustering, a common ‘unsupervised’ machine-learning algorithm, is advantageous for exploring potential underlying aetiology in particularly heterogeneous diseases. We investigated ... -
Developing patients' experiences database after hospital discharge: Another step in improving stroke care
(2020)The aim of this study was to assess stroke patients' experiences in regards to hospital stay and during discharge. A cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection was conducted including patients (n=135) with ... -
Early versus Late initiation of direct oral Anticoagulants in post-ischaemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillatioN (ELAN): Protocol for an international, multicentre, randomised-controlled, two-arm, open, assessor-blinded trial
(2022)Rationale: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) are highly effective in preventing ischaemic strokes in people with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it is unclear how soon they should be started after acute ischaemic stroke ... -
Effect of Hyperacute Administration (Within 6 Hours) of Transdermal Glyceryl Trinitrate, a Nitric Oxide Donor, on Outcome after Stroke: Subgroup Analysis of the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke (ENOS) Trial
(2015)Background and Purpose-Nitric oxide donors are candidate treatments for acute stroke, potentially through hemodynamic, reperfusion, and neuroprotectant effects, especially if given early. Although the large Efficacy of ... -
Effectiveness and safety of intracranial events associated with the use of direct oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation: A systematic review and meta-analysis of 92 studies
(2022)Aims: Observational studies have investigated the effectiveness and safety of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) used in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. We performed a systematic review ... -
An Explainable Machine Learning Pipeline for Stroke Prediction on Imbalanced Data
(2022)Stroke is an acute neurological dysfunction attributed to a focal injury of the central nervous system due to reduced blood flow to the brain. Nowadays, stroke is a global threat associated with premature death and huge ... -
Intracranial Atherosclerotic Plaque as a Potential Cause of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
(2021)Background: Previous studies investigated the potential mechanism of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) from extracranial artery plaque, but there has been no study other than a case report on high-risk intracranial ... -
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol lowering for the prevention of cardiovascular outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke
(2019)Background: Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol has been long associated with the risk for ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death. For more than a decade, the main pharmacological option to ... -
Predictors of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in Patients with Embolic Strokes of Undetermined Source and Effects of Rivaroxaban Versus Aspirin According to Risk Status: The NAVIGATE ESUS Trial
(2019)Background: Embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) identifies patients with cryptogenic ischemic stroke presumed due to embolism from several unidentified sources. Among patients with recent ESUS, we sought to determine ... -

Relationship between nitrate headache and outcome in patients with acute stroke: Results from the efficacy of nitric oxide in stroke (ENOS) trial
(2021)Introduction Nitrate-induced headache is common and may signify responsive cerebral vasculature. We assessed the relationship between nitrate headache and outcome in patients with acute stroke. Materials and methods Patients ... -
A score to predict one-year risk of recurrence after acute ischemic stroke
(2021)Background: An acute ischemic stroke carries a substantial risk of further recurrences. We aimed at developing and validating a prognostic tool to predict one-year stroke recurrence after acute ischemic stroke. Methods: ... -
Statin-based therapy for primary and secondary prevention of ischemic stroke: A meta-analysis and critical overview
(2020)Background and aims: To reassess the effect of statin-based lipid-lowering therapy on ischemic stroke in primary and secondary prevention trials with regard to achieved levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol in view ... -
Sun4Patients web platform: Facilitating long-term monitoring of stroke patients
(2020)SUN4Patients is an observational study for the monitoring of patients with first ever acute stroke. For the support of this study, an online platform has been developed which facilitates the collection of various information ... -
Thrombolysis in stroke patients with elevated inflammatory markers
(2022)Objective: To investigate the prognostic value of white blood cell count (WBC) on functional outcome, mortality and bleeding risk in stroke patients treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Methods: In this prospective ...
