<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:sec> <jats:title>Background</jats:title> <jats:p>Early intensive blood pressure (BP) lowering remains the most promising treatment for acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), despite discordant results between clinical trials and potential variation in the treatment effects by approach to control BP. As the third in a series of clinical trials on this topic, the INTEnsive care bundle with blood pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT3) aims to determine the effectiveness of a goal-directed care bundle protocol of early physiological control (intensive BP lowering, glycemic control, and pyrexia treatment) and reversal of anticoagulation, in acute ICH.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>INTERACT3 is a pragmatic, international, multicenter, stepped-wedge (4 phases/3 steps), cluster-randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of a multifaceted care package in adult (age ≥ 18 years) patients (target 8360) with acute ICH (< 6 h of onset) recruited from 110 hospitals (average of 19 consecutive patients per phase) in low- and middle-income countries. After a control phase, each hospital implements the intervention (intensive BP lowering, target systolic < 140 mmHg; glucose control, target 6.1–7.8 mmol/L and 7.8–10.0 mmol/L in those without and with diabetes mellitus, respectively; anti-pyrexia treatment to target body temperature ≤ 37.5 °C; and reversal of anticoagulation, target international normalized ratio < 1.5 within 1 h). Information will be obtained on demographic and baseline clinical characteristics, in-hospital management, and 7-day outcomes. Central trained blinded assessors will conduct telephone interviews to assess physical function and health-related quality of life at 6 months. The primary outcome is the modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 6 months analyzed using ordinal logistic regression. The sample size of 8360 subjects provides 90% power (<jats:italic>α</jats:italic> = 0.05) to detect a 5.6% absolute improvement (shift) in the primary outcome of the intervention versus control standard care, with various assumptions.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Discussion</jats:title> <jats:p>As the largest clinical trial in acute ICH, INTERACT3 is on schedule to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of a widely applicable goal-directed care bundle for a serious condition in which a clearly proven treatment has yet to be established.</jats:p> </jats:sec><jats:sec> <jats:title>Trial registration</jats:title> <jats:p><jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://clinicaltrials.gov">ClinicalTrials.gov</jats:ext-link> NCT03209258.

<jats:sec> <jats:title>Background and Purpose—</jats:title> <jats:p>Patient-centered outcomes are important. We aimed to determine predictors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and develop utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores in thrombolyzed acute ischemic stroke patients from both arms of ENCHANTED (Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis Stroke Study).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods—</jats:title> <jats:p>ENCHANTED was an international quasi-factorial clinical trial of different doses of intravenous alteplase and intensities of blood pressure control in acute ischemic stroke patients, with outcomes on the 5-Dimensional European Quality of Life Scale and mRS assessed at 90 days post-randomization. Logistic regression models were used to identify baseline predictors of poor HRQoL (≤mean 5-Dimensional European Quality of Life Scale utility scores). Ordinary least squares regression derived utility-weighted mRS scores.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results—</jats:title> <jats:p>In 4016 acute ischemic stroke patients with complete 5-Dimensional European Quality of Life Scale and mRS data, independent predictors of poor HRQoL were older age (odds ratio, 1.19 [95% CI, 1.12–1.27], per 10-year increase), non-Asian ethnicity (1.91 [1.61–2.27]), greater stroke severity on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (1.11 [1.09–1.12]), diabetes mellitus (1.41 [1.18–1.69]), premorbid disability (mRS score 1 versus 0; 1.62 [1.33–1.97]), large vessel atheromatous pathogenesis (1.32 [1.12–1.54]), and proxy respondent (2.35 [2.01–2.74]). Sensitivity analyses indicate the ethnicity influence on HRQoL was driven by the high proportion of Chinese (62.9% of Asian) participants with better HRQoL compared with non-Chinese or other Asian groups. Derived utility values across mRS scores 0 to 5 were 0.977, 0.885, 0.748, 0.576, 0.194, and −0.174, respectively. Correlations between mRS and 5-Dimensional European Quality of Life Scale scores were stronger in Asians.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions—</jats:title> <jats:p>HRQoL is worse after thrombolyzed acute ischemic stroke in the elderly, non-Asians, with greater initial severity, diabetes mellitus, premorbid disability, due to large vessel atheroma, and proxy assessment. The broader significance of better HRQoL in Asians is tempered by Chinese participants dominating analyses. From utility-weighted mRS scores indicating the greatest steps in mRS scores are between 5 and 3, treatments to avoid major disability provide the greatest benefits for patients.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Registration—</jats:title> <jats:p> URL: <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.clinicaltrials.gov">https://www.clinicaltrials.gov</jats:ext-link> .

<jats:sec> <jats:title>Background and Purpose—</jats:title> <jats:p>Infratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has a poor outcome but is rarely analyzed by cerebellar versus brain stem location. We evaluated this relationship and clinical outcomes among participants of the INTERACT 1 and 2 (Intensive Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trials).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods—</jats:title> <jats:p>Participants with brain stem and cerebellar ICH were compared. Logistic regression models were used to compare outcomes of death or major disability and quality of life.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results—</jats:title> <jats:p>Of 195 included patients, 92 (47%) and 103 (53%) had brain stem and cerebellar ICH, respectively. Patients with brain stem ICH were younger (mean [SD] age, 59±13 versus 70±11 years), less female (28.3% versus 50.5%), with higher admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores (median [interquartile range], 6 [4–10) versus 3 [2–8]), less prior ICH (3% versus 17%), smaller ICH volumes (1.6 mL [1.0–2.8 mL] versus 5.1 mL [2.6–10.7 mL]), and less intraventricular extension (3% versus 39%) than those with cerebellar ICH. Brain stem ICH had higher mortality (odds ratio, 37.1; 95% CI, 1.99–692.27) and worse scores in the European Quality of Life Scale (EQ-5D) pain domain (odds ratio, 3.36; 95% CI, 1.38–8.20).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions—</jats:title> <jats:p>Cerebellar and brain stem ICH differ in their clinical characteristics and prognosis, with the latter being associated with higher case fatality and worse EQ-5D scores in the pain domain.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Clinical Trial Registration—</jats:title> <jats:p> URL: <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://www.clinicaltrials.gov">https://www.clinicaltrials.gov</jats:ext-link> .

<jats:sec><jats:title>Objective</jats:title><jats:p>To explore the sex differences in outcomes and management after stroke using a large sample with high-quality international trial data.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>Individual participant data were obtained from 5 acute stroke randomized controlled trials. Data were obtained on demographics, medication use, in-hospital treatment, and functional outcome. Study-specific crude and adjusted models were used to estimate sex differences in outcomes and management, and then pooled using random-effects meta-analysis.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>There were 19,652 participants, of whom 7,721 (40%) were women. After multivariable adjustments, women with ischemic stroke had higher survival at 3–6 months (odds ratio [OR] 0.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.70–0.97), higher likelihood of disability (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.06–1.36), and worse quality of life (weighted mean difference −0.07, 95% CI −0.09 to 0.04). For management, women were more likely to be admitted to an acute stroke unit (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.01–1.34), but less likely to be intubated (OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.36–0.93), treated for fever (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.70–0.95), or admitted to an intensive care unit (OR 0.83, 95% CI 0.74–0.93). For preadmission medications, women had higher odds of being prescribed antihypertensive agents (OR 1.22, 95% CI 1.13–1.31) and lower odds of being prescribed antiplatelets (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.79–0.93), glucose-lowering agents (OR 0.86, 95% CI 0.78–0.94), or lipid-lowering agents (OR 0.85, 95% CI 0.77–0.94).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p>This analysis suggests that women who had ischemic stroke had better survival but were also more disabled and had poorer quality of life. Variations in hospital and out-of-hospital management may partly explain the disparities.</jats:p></jats:sec>
