Mechanical thrombectomy: can it be safely delivered out of hours in the UK? (2020)
Journal Article
Weddell, J., Parr, E., Knight, S., Muddegowda, G., Natarajan, I., Chembala, J., …Roffe, C. (2020). Mechanical thrombectomy: can it be safely delivered out of hours in the UK?. BMC Neurology, 20, Article 326. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12883-020-01909-8

BACKGROUND: Mechanical thrombectomy was approved by NICE as a treatment for stroke in 2016. However, most of the evidence is from studies conducted during working hours. Only few centres in the UK perform thrombectomies out-of-hours. The Royal Stoke... Read More about Mechanical thrombectomy: can it be safely delivered out of hours in the UK?.

Prognostic significance of early urinary catheterization after acute stroke: Secondary analyses of the international HeadPoST trial (2020)
Journal Article

Prognostic significance of early urinary catheterization after acute stroke: Secondary analyses of the international HeadPoST trial. International Journal of Stroke, 16(2), 200-206. https://doi.org/10.1177/1747493020908140

Background An indwelling urinary catheter (IUC) is often inserted to manage bladder dysfunction, but its impact on prognosis is uncertain. We aimed to determine the association of IUC use on clinical outcomes after acute stroke in the international,...

Background and Purpose— Blend, black hole, island signs, and hypodensities are reported to predict hematoma expansion in acute intracerebral hemorrhage. We explored the value of these noncontrast computed tomography signs in predicting hematoma expan...
