Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Significance of intraventricular hemorrhage in acute intracerebral hemorrhage: intensive blood pressure reduction in acute cerebral hemorrhage trial results.
Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage indicates a poor prognosis but uncertainty exists over the pattern of association. We aimed to elucidate risk associations of IVH and outcome in the Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT2) data set. ⋯ http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Alteplase for acute ischemic stroke: outcomes by clinically important subgroups in the Third International Stroke Trial.
Our aim was to identify whether particular subgroups of patients had an unacceptably high risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage or low chance of benefit when treated with alteplase (recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator). ⋯ http://www.controlled-trials.com.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of blood pressure-lowering treatment in different subtypes of acute ischemic stroke.
The Scandinavian Candesartan Acute Stroke Trial (SCAST) found no benefits of blood pressure-lowering treatment with candesartan in acute stroke. We have investigated whether the effect of treatment is different in different subtypes of ischemic stroke. ⋯ http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00120003.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Outcome in patients previously on antithrombotic therapy in the SAMMPRIS trial: subgroup analysis.
Stenting has been used as a rescue therapy in patients with intracranial arterial stenosis and a transient ischemic attack or stroke when on antithrombotic therapy (AT). We determined whether the stenting versus aggressive medical therapy for intracranial arterial stenosis (SAMMPRIS) trial supported this approach by comparing the treatments within subgroups of patients whose qualifying event (QE) occurred on versus off of AT. ⋯ http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.
