Continuous or intermittent? Which regiment of enteral nutrition is better for acute stroke patients? A systematic review and meta-analysis (2019)
Journal Article
Di Paolo, G., Twomlow, E., Hanna, F., Farmer, A., Lancaster, J., Sim, J., & Roffe, C. (2019). Continuous or intermittent? Which regiment of enteral nutrition is better for acute stroke patients? A systematic review and meta-analysis. https://doi.org/10.32474/OJNBD.2019.03.000163

Background and purpose: Enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube in acute stroke patients with dysphagia is an important determinant of patient outcomes. It is unclear whether intermittent or continuous feeding is more efficacious. The aim of this revi... Read More about Continuous or intermittent?

Prehospital Transdermal Glyceryl Trinitrate for Ultra-Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage (2019)
Journal Article
Roffe. (2019). Prehospital Transdermal Glyceryl Trinitrate for Ultra-Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Stroke, 3064 -3071. https://doi.org/10.1161/STROKEAHA.119.026389

Background and Purpose Pilot trials suggest that glyceryl trinitrate (GTN; nitroglycerin) may improve outcome when administered early after stroke onset. Methods We undertook a multicentre, paramedic-delivered, ambulance-based, prospective rando... Read More about Prehospital Transdermal Glyceryl Trinitrate for Ultra-Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Association of Baseline Hyperglycaemia with Outcomes of Diabetic and Non-diabetic Acute Ischaemic Stroke Patients treated with Intravenous Thrombolysis: A Propensity Score Matched Analysis from the SITS-ISTR Registry (2019)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND:Tranexamic acid reduces death due to bleeding after trauma and postpartum haemorrhage. OBJECTIVE:The aim of the study was to assess if tranexamic acid is safe, reduces haematoma expansion and improves outcomes in adults with spontaneous in...

The association between early neurological deterioration and whole blood purine concentration during acute stroke (2019)
Journal Article
Roffe. (2019). The association between early neurological deterioration and whole blood purine concentration during acute stroke. Biomarker Research, https://doi.org/10.1186/s40364-019-0158-y

Background Early neurological deterioration (END) is common after stroke. Prediction could identify patients requiring additional monitoring and intervention. Purines, breakdown products of adenosine triphosphate which accumulate during acute hypoxi...

Point-of-care measurements reveal release of purines into venous blood of stroke patients (2019)
Journal Article
Roffe. (2019). Point-of-care measurements reveal release of purines into venous blood of stroke patients. Purinergic Signalling, 237-246. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11302-019-09647-4

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. Here, we examine whether point-of-care measurement of the purines, adenosine, inosine and hypoxanthine, which are downstream metabolites of ATP, has potential to assist the diagnosis of stroke. In a... Read More about Point-of-care measurements reveal release of purines into venous blood of stroke patients.
