TL;DR: Few cost studies of stroke include information based on stroke recovery measured by individual modified Rankin Scale categories and the existing data are limited, so future studies are needed to reliably capture this information.
The SITS Open Study: A Prospective, Open Label Blinded Evaluation Study of Thrombectomy in Clinical Practice.
Niaz Ahmed,Niaz Ahmed,Kennedy R. Lees,Rüdiger von Kummer,Staffan Holmin,Staffan Holmin,Irene Escudero-Martínez,Matteo Bottai,Olav Jansen,Nils Wahlgren +9 more
TL;DR: In clinical practice, thrombectomy for patients with large artery occlusion stroke is superior to standard of care in the authors' study.
Exploring the Reliability of the Modified Rankin Scale
TL;DR: There remains substantial interobserver variability in mRS grades awarded even by experienced researchers, and additional methods to improve mRS reliability are required.
The effect of losartan on global and focal cerebral perfusion and on renal function in hypertensives in mild early ischaemic stroke
TL;DR: Losartan may be introduced within 2–7 days of mild stroke in hypertensive patients in whom significant carotid occlusive disease has been excluded without affecting global or regional CBF, or affecting GFR.
