    <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 .

    <jats:sec> <jats:title>Background and Purpose:</jats:title> <jats:p>In thrombolysis-eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke, there is uncertainty over the most appropriate systolic blood pressure (SBP) lowering profile that provides an optimal balance of potential benefit (functional recovery) and harm (intracranial hemorrhage). We aimed to determine relationships of SBP parameters and outcomes in thrombolyzed acute ischemic stroke patients.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods:</jats:title> <jats:p>Post hoc analyzes of the ENCHANTED (Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis Stroke Study), a partial-factorial trial of thrombolysis-eligible and treated acute ischemic stroke patients with high SBP (150–180 mm Hg) assigned to low-dose (0.6 mg/kg) or standard-dose (0.9 mg/kg) alteplase and intensive (target SBP, 130–140 mm Hg) or guideline-recommended (target SBP &lt;180 mm Hg) treatment. All patients were followed up for functional status and serious adverse events to 90 days. Logistic regression models were used to analyze 3 SBP summary measures postrandomization: attained (mean), variability (SD) in 1–24 hours, and magnitude of reduction in 1 hour. The primary outcome was a favorable shift on the modified Rankin Scale. The key safety outcome was any intracranial hemorrhage.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results:</jats:title> <jats:p> Among 4511 included participants (mean age 67 years, 38% female, 65% Asian) lower attained SBP and smaller SBP variability were associated with favorable shift on the modified Rankin Scale (per 10 mm Hg increase: odds ratio, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.71–0.82]; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &lt;0.001 and 0.86 [95% CI, 0.76–0.98]; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.025) respectively, but not for magnitude of SBP reduction (0.98, [0.93–1.04]; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.564). Odds of intracranial hemorrhage was associated with higher attained SBP and greater SBP variability (1.18 [1.06–1.31]; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.002 and 1.34 [1.11–1.62]; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.002) but not with magnitude of SBP reduction (1.05 [0.98–1.14]; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.184). </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions:</jats:title> <jats:p>Attaining early and consistent low levels in SBP &lt;140 mm Hg, even as low as 110 to 120 mm Hg, over 24 hours is associated with better outcomes in thrombolyzed acute ischemic stroke 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> ; Unique identifier: NCT01422616. </jats:p> </jats:sec>

    <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>Many patients receiving thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke are on prior antiplatelet therapy (APT), which may increase symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage risk. In a prespecified subgroup analysis, we report comparative effects of different doses of intravenous alteplase according to prior APT use among participants of the international multicenter ENCHANTED study (Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis Stroke Study).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods—</jats:title> <jats:p>Among 3285 alteplase-treated patients (mean age, 66.6 years; 38% women) randomly assigned to low-dose (0.6 mg/kg) or standard-dose (0.9 mg/kg) intravenous alteplase within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, 752 (22.9%) reported prior APT use. Primary outcome at 90 days was the combined end point of death or disability (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] scores, 2–6). Other outcomes included mRS scores 3 to 6, ordinal mRS shift, and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage by various standard criteria.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results—</jats:title> <jats:p> There were no significant differences in outcome between patients with and without prior APT after adjustment for baseline characteristics and management factors during the first week; defined by mRS scores 2 to 6 (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81–1.26; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.953), 3 to 6 (OR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.75–1.20; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.662), or ordinal mRS shift (OR, 1.03; 95% CI, 0.87–1.21; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.770). Alteplase-treated patients on prior APT had higher symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (OR, 1.82; 95% CI, 1.00–3.30; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> =0.051) according to the safe implementation of thrombolysis in stroke-monitoring study definition. Although not significant ( <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> -trend, 0.053), low-dose alteplase tended to have better outcomes than standard-dose alteplase in those on prior APT compared with those not using APT (mRS scores of 2–6; OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.62–1.12 versus OR, 1.16; 95% CI, 0.99–1.36). </jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions—</jats:title> <jats:p>Low-dose alteplase may improve outcomes in thrombolysis-treated acute ischemic stroke patients on prior APT, but this requires further evaluation in a randomized controlled trial.</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="http://www.clinicaltrials.gov">http://www.clinicaltrials.gov</jats:ext-link> .

    <jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p> Randomized controlled trials provide high-level evidence, but the necessity to include selected patients may limit the generalisability of their results. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p> Comparisons were made of baseline and outcome data between patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) recruited into the alteplase-dose arm of the international, multi-center, Enhanced Control of Hypertension and Thrombolysis Stroke study (ENCHANTED) in the United Kingdom (UK), and alteplase-treated AIS patients registered in the UK Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP) registry, over the study period June 2012 to October 2015. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p> There were 770 AIS patients (41.2% female; mean age 72 years) included in ENCHANTED at sites in England and Wales, which was 19.5% of alteplase-treated AIS patients registered in the SSNAP registry. Trial participants were significantly older, had lower baseline neurological severity, less likely Asian, and had more premorbid symptoms, hypertension and atrial fibrillation. Although ENCHANTED participants had higher rates of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage than those in SSNAP, there were no differences in onset-to-treatment time, levels of disability (assessed by the modified Rankin scale) at hospital discharge, and mortality over 90 days between groups. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title><jats:p> Despite the high level of participation, equipoise over the dose of alteplase among UK clinician investigators favored the inclusion of older, frailer, milder AIS patients in the ENCHANTED trial. </jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical trial registration</jats:title><jats:p> Clinical Trial Registration-URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov .
