Evaluating methods of detecting and determining the type of urinary incontinence in adults after stroke: A systematic review (2023)
Journal Article
Gordon, C., Davidson, C. E., Roffe, C., Clegg, A., Booth, J., Lightbody, C. E., …Watkins, C. (in press). Evaluating methods of detecting and determining the type of urinary incontinence in adults after stroke: A systematic review. Neurourology and Urodynamics, 43(2), 364-381. https://doi.org/10.1002/nau.25330

Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) affects over half of people with stroke. It is unclear which methods are accurate in assessing presence and type of UI to inform clinical management. Diagnosis of UI based on inaccurate methods may lead to unne...

Metoclopramide for Avoiding Pneumonia after Stroke (MAPS-2) Trial (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Roffe, C., Warusevitane, A., Smith, C., Dixit, A., Sprigg, N., Ogollah, R., …Bath, P. (2023, October). Metoclopramide for Avoiding Pneumonia after Stroke (MAPS-2) Trial. Poster presented at 15th World Stroke Congress, Toronto, Canada

The research study is designed to assess a treatment which might prevent pneumonia and improve survival in patients that have had a stroke.
Pneumonia is a major cause of death after stroke and delays recovery in survivors. The most important cause o... Read More about Metoclopramide for Avoiding Pneumonia after Stroke (MAPS-2) Trial.

Is intraprocedural intravenous aspirin safe for patients who require emergent extracranial stenting during mechanical thrombectomy? (2023)
Journal Article
Ingleton, A., Raseta, M., Chung, R., Kow, K. J. H., Weddell, J., Nayak, S., …Roffe, C. (2023). Is intraprocedural intravenous aspirin safe for patients who require emergent extracranial stenting during mechanical thrombectomy?. Stroke and Vascular Neurology, https://doi.org/10.1136/svn-2022-002267

Background: Intraoperative antiplatelet therapy is recommended for emergent stenting during mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Most patients undergoing MT are also given thrombolysis. Antiplatelet agents are contraindicated within 24 hours of thrombolysis...

Cerebral edema in intracerebral hemorrhage: pathogenesis, natural history, and potential treatments from translation to clinical trials (2023)
Journal Article
Krishnan, K., Campos, P. B., Nguyen, T. N., Tan, C. W., Chan, S. L., Appleton, J. P., …Bath, P. M. (in press). Cerebral edema in intracerebral hemorrhage: pathogenesis, natural history, and potential treatments from translation to clinical trials. Frontiers in Stroke, 2, 1256664. https://doi.org/10.3389/fstro.2023.1256664

Acute intracerebral hemorrhage is the most devastating stroke subtype and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Poor prognosis is associated with primary brain injury from the presenting hematoma, and despite advances in clinical tr...

The effect of distal aspiration catheter position on collateral flow in mechanical thrombectomy - an in vitro study (2023)
Journal Article
Jakobek, W., Gravino, G., Nayak, S., Yang, Y., Ranjbar, J., & Roffe, C. (in press). The effect of distal aspiration catheter position on collateral flow in mechanical thrombectomy - an in vitro study. Interventional Neuroradiology, https://doi.org/10.1177/15910199231201518

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy for ischaemic stroke is one of the most effective treatments. Despite the devices and techniques that have been developed, thrombi are not always successfully retrieved. The incidence of futile reperfusion after s...

The Rapid Intervention with Glyceryl Trinitrate in Hypertensive Stroke Trial-2 (RIGHT-2) reported no overall treatment difference between glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and sham at day 90. Here we assess participants' outcomes 1 year after randomisation....

BMJ Open Neurology, 5(1), Article e000423. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjno-2023-000423

BackgroundTranexamic acid reduced haematoma expansion and early death, but did not improve functional outcome in the tranexamic acid for hyperacute spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage-2 (TICH-2) trial. In a predefined subgroup, there was a statisti...
