Long-term antithrombotic therapy and risk of intracranial haemorrhage from cerebral cavernous malformations: a population-based cohort study, systematic review, and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 7 August 2019Source: The Lancet NeurologyAuthor(s): Susanna M Zuurbier, Charlotte R Hickman, Christos S Tolias, Leon A Rinkel, Rebecca Leyrer, Kelly D Flemming, David Bervini, Giuseppe Lanzino, Robert J Wityk, Hans-Martin Schneble, Ulrich Sure, Rustam Al-Shahi Salman, Scottish Audit of Intracranial Vascular Malformations Steering CommitteeSummaryBackgroundAntithrombotic (anticoagulant or antiplatelet) therapy is withheld from some patients with cerebral cavernous malformations, because of uncertainty around the safety of these drugs in such patients. We aimed to establish whether antithro...

Effect of intermittent pneumatic compression on disability, living circumstances, quality of life, and hospital costs after stroke: secondary analyses from CLOTS 3, a randomised trial
Publication date: December 2014 Source:The Lancet Neurology, Volume 13, Issue 12 Background The results of the CLOTS 3 trial showed that intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) reduced the risk of deep vein thrombosis and improved survival in immobile patients with stroke. IPC is now being widely used in stroke units. Here we describe the disability, living circumstances, quality of life, and hospital costs of patients in CLOTS 3. Methods In CLOTS 3, a parallel group trial in 94 UK hospitals, immobile patients with stroke from days 0 to 3 of admission were assigned with a computer-generated allocation sequence in a 1:1 r...
