Item type:Publication, Influence of Multiple Long-Term Conditions on Outcome after Thrombolysis for Acute Ischaemic Stroke: Secondary Analysis of the ENCHANTED Trial(S. Karger AG, 2025-08-06) ;Xinwen Ren ;Yang Zhao ;Menglu Ouyang ;Qiang LiChen ChenIntroduction: The influence of multiple long-term conditions on the outcomes from acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is not well defined. This study aimed to determine the association of multiple long-term conditions in participants of the Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis Stroke Study (ENCHANTED). Methods: ENCHANTED was an international, multicentre, 2 × 2 quasi-factorial, open, randomized controlled, blinded endpoint assessed trial that assessed the effectiveness and safety of intensive blood pressure lowering and low-dose thrombolysis against standard of care in adults with AIS. Multiple long-term condition was defined as two or more coexisting chronic conditions according to medical history. The primary outcome was function recovery (distribution of scores on the modified Rankin scale) and mortality at 90 days post-randomization. Associations were estimated in multivariate logistic regression models, and an assessment of heterogeneity was undertaken in subgroups including age, sex, baseline systolic blood pressure, and clinical features. Results: In 4,566 AIS participants (mean age 66.7 years, 37.8% female), those with multiple long-term conditions were older, more often female, and had more severe neurological impairment. Multiple long-term conditions increased the odds of poor functional outcome (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.16, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03–1.30; p = 0.020) and mortality (aOR 1.35, 95% CI: 1.04–1.76; p = 0.024). The association between multiple long-term conditions and mortality/functional outcome was consistent across all subgroups. Conclusion: Individuals with multiple long-term conditions have higher odds of poor functional outcome and death after thrombolytic treatment for AIS.9 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Intensive Blood Pressure Lowering and Renal Function in Ischemic Stroke Patients: Secondary Analysis of the ENCHANTED Trial(2024) ;Chen Chen ;Xinwen Ren ;Yang Zhao ;Menglu OuyangQiang Li Mbiostat<jats:p><b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Renal failure is a major safety concern of intensive systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering. We aimed to determine the effect of this treatment on early change in renal function in participants of the international Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis Stroke Study (ENCHANTED). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Post hoc analysis of the ENCHANTED BP-arm in which thrombolyzed patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were randomized to intensive (target 130–140 mm Hg within 1 h) or guideline-recommended (target &lt;180 mm Hg) management within 6 h of symptom onset. Primary outcome is the early change in renal function, defined by a difference in estimated glomerular filtration rate (<b>∆</b>eGFR = 24 h – baseline eGFR), analyzed using linear regression with adjustment for clinical variables. Key SBP parameters were attained (mean), variability (standard deviation), and magnitude of reduction within 24 h. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 2,151 participants (mean age 66.9 years; 38% female) included with the available baseline eGFR, there were significant differences in attained 144.3 ± 10.2 versus 149.8 ± 12.0 [Δ5.5 mm Hg]; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001), variation (15.1 ± 5.4 vs. 14.0 ± 5.6 mm Hg; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001), and magnitude of reduction (44.6 ± 16.2 vs. 38.7 ± 17.6 mm Hg; <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001) in SBP within 24 h. 1,718 (79.9%) participants with complete follow-up eGFR were included in the primary analysis, and there was no significant difference in <b>∆</b>eGFR (adjusted mean difference −1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] −3.14 to −0.94; <i>p</i> = 0.29) between the intensive and guideline groups, respectively. The neutral effect on <b>∆</b>eGFR was consistent in patients with different baseline eGFR stages and in sensitivity analysis after multiple imputations for missing follow-up eGFR. SBP variability was significantly associated with decreasing <b>∆</b>eGFR (per 5 mm Hg increase by category: adjusted mean difference −1.35, 95% CI: −2.43 to −0.28; <i>p</i> for trend = 0.01). <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Intensive SBP lowering with a target of 130–140 mm Hg had no impact on early renal function in thrombolyzed AIS patients. Wide SBP variability was associated with a larger decline in eGFR. </jats:p>1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Validation of the simplified modified Rankin scale for stroke trials: Experience from the ENCHANTED alteplase-dose arm(2020) ;Xiaoying Chen ;Jingwei Li ;Craig S Anderson ;Richard I LindleyMaree L Hackett<jats:sec><jats:title>Background and aims</jats:title><jats:p> The structured, simplified modified Rankin scale questionnaire (smRSq) may increase reliability over the interrogative approach to scoring the modified Rankin scale (mRS) in acute stroke research and practice. During the conduct of the alteplase-dose arm of the international ENhanced Control of Hypertension ANd Thrombolysis StrokE stuDy (ENCHANTED), we had an opportunity to compare each of these approaches to outcome measurement. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p> Baseline demographic data were recorded together with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Follow-up measures obtained at 90 days included mRS, smRSq, and the 5-Dimension European Quality of life scale (EQ-5D). Agreements between smRSq and mRS were assessed with the Kappa statistic. Multiple logistic regression was used to identify baseline predictors of Day 90 smRSq and mRS scores. Treatment effects, based on Day 90 smRSq/mRS scores, were tested in logistic and ordinal logistic regression models. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p> SmRSq and mRS scores had good agreement (weighted Kappa 0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.78–0.81), while variables of age, atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, pre-morbid mRS (1 vs. 0), baseline NIHSS scores, and imaging signs of cerebral ischemia, similarly predicted their scores. Odds ratios for death or disability, and ordinal shift, 90-day mRS scores using smRSq were 1.05 (95% CI 0.91–1.20; one-sided P = 0.23 for non-inferiority) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.87–1.11; P = 0.02 for non-inferiority), similar to those using mRS. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p> This study demonstrates the utility of the smRSq in a large, ethnically diverse clinical trial population. Scoring of the smRSq shows adequate agreement with the standard mRS, thus confirming it is a reliable, valid, and useful alternative measure of functional status after acute ischemic stroke. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Trial registration</jats:title><jats:p> URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

We aimed to determine the association of IUC use on clinical outcomes after acute stroke in the international, multi-center, cluster crossover, Head Positioning in Acute Stroke Trial (HeadPoST). </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p> Data were analyzed on HeadPoST participants (n = 11,093) randomly allocated to the lying-flat or sitting-up head position. Binomial, logistic regression, hierarchical mixed models were used to determine associations of early insertion of IUC within seven days post-randomization and outcomes of death or disability (defined as “poor outcome,” scores 3–6 on the modified Rankin scale) and any urinary tract infection at 90 days with adjustment of baseline and post-randomization management covariates. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p> Overall, 1167 (12%) patients had an IUC, but the frequency and duration of use varied widely across patients in different regions. IUC use was more frequent in older patients, and those with vascular comorbidity, greater initial neurological impairment (on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale), and intracerebral hemorrhage as the underlying stroke type. IUC use was independently associated with poor outcome (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 1.40, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13–1.74), but not with urinary tract infection after adjustment for antibiotic treatment and stroke severity at hospital separation (aOR: 1.13, 95% CI: 0.59–2.18). The number exposed to IUC for poor outcome was 13. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p> IUC use is associated with a poor outcome after acute stroke. Further studies are required to inform appropriate use of IUC. </jats:p></jats:sec>Scopus© Citations 4 3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
