Impact of body mass index on efficacy and safety of ticagrelor versus clopidogrel in patients with minor stroke or transient ischemic attack
CMAJ. 2023 Jul 10;195(26):E897-E904. doi: 10.1503/cmaj.230262.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Body mass index (BMI) may affect the response to platelet P2Y12 receptor inhibitors. We aimed to explore whether BMI influenced the efficacy and safety of ticagrelor and clopidogrel for secondary prevention of minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) among patients enrolled in the CHANCE-2 (Ticagrelor or Clopidogrel with Aspirin in High-Risk Patients with Acute Nondisabling Cerebrovascular Events II) trial.METHODS: In a multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, conducted in China, we randomized patients ...

Cost-effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy with alteplase versus endovascular thrombectomy alone for acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion
CMAJ Open. 2023 May 16;11(3):E443-E450. doi: 10.9778/cmajo.20220096. Print 2023 May-Jun.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Recent randomized trials have suggested that endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) alone may provide similar functional outcomes as the current standard of care, EVT combined with intravenous alteplase treatment, for acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion. We conducted an economic evaluation of these 2 therapeutic options.METHODS: We constructed a decision analytic model with a hypothetical cohort of 1000 patients to assess the cost-effectiveness of EVT with intravenous alteplase treatment versus EVT alo...
