Social Deprivation and Initial Presentation of 12 Cardiovascular Diseases: a CALIBER Study
Abdominal Aortic AneurysmCoronary Heart Disease NOS13 moreStudy of heterogeneity in associations between social deprivation and the initial presentation of 12 cardiovascular diseases.
Multicenter Validation of the AVICH Score
Intracerebral HemorrhageArterio-venous MalformationThe primary objective of this multicenter study is to validate the AVICH score in terms of patient outcome prediction in AVM patients with associated ICH. Secondary objectives are the impact of pretreatment of the AVICH score. Patients outcome is measured using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and are grouped in favorable (mRS score, 0-2) and unfavourable (mRS score, 3-6) outcome at last follow-up (LFU). The following parameters, which are part of the AVICH score, will be compared between the 2 groups: ICH score including age, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, haemorrhage volume, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and localization of the ICH. Spetzler-Martin grade including AVM size, eloquent location, and venous drainage, as well as the Lawton-Young grade, including age, presence of ruptured AVM, and the nidus structure. In addition pre-/postruptured treatment modalities, including embolization, radiotherapy, surgery or no treatment will be analysed. Outcome (mRS) at 3 months, at 1 year, and at LFU will be compared. Multicentre validation study Key inclusion criteria: All patients with ICH associated AVMs and a modified Rankin Scale <2 (so 0-1) before hemorrhage Pretreatment (embolization, radiosurgery, surgery) before ICH is not an exclusion criteria. Key exclusion criteria: incomplete data set AVM Patients with only subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or IVH and no ICH
Characteristics of Blood- Brain Barrier Permeability in Neurological Patients
Traumatic Brain InjuryCerebral Infarction1 moreThe main goal of the present study is to challenge the hypothesis that blood- brain barrier disruption following brain injury increases the risk for long-term disability, development of brain dysfunction, epileptic seizures and neuroanatomical alterations.
Serum Uric Acid Levels and Onset of Cardiovascular Diseases: a CALIBER Study
Stable AnginaUnstable Angina11 moreSerum uric acid level is a commonly measured biomarker. The association between serum uric acid level and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases has been observed in some studies, while others showed controversial results. Estimation of this association may help to predict cardiovascular outcomes and may guide new treatment strategies. The hypothesis is that increased serum uric acid level is associated with a range of cardiovascular diseases.
Superficial Siderosis in Patients With Suspected Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy
Intracerebral HemorrhageCerebral Amyloid Angiopathy1 moreAim of the SuSPect-CAA study is to prospectively evaluate the prognostic significance of cortical superficial siderosis in patients with suspected cerebral amyloid angiopathy with a primary focus on future stroke and mortality.
Continuous Monitoring of Blood Pressure in Spontaneous Intraparenchimal Cerebral Haemorrhage
Intraparenchimal Cerebral HaemorrhageEvaluation of blood pressure variability in the acute phase of intraparenchimal cerebral haemorrhage and its consequences to clinical outcome
An EHR-based Platform To Facilitate Outcomes and Research Methods in Cerebrovascular Diseases
StrokeCerebrovascular Diseases4 moreIn this protocol, the investigators present methods and preliminary results from the PLATFORM-CVD Study, an EHR-based multicenter cohort. This study will focus on assessing the distribution of major cerebrovascular diseases, determining the risk factors associated with disease incidence and worse in-hospital outcomes, as well as describing the quality of care. Data from this cohort will be used to develop suitable prediction models for cerebrovascular diseases using real-world data and to understand how outcomes for cerebrovascular diseases would change with quality improvement interventions.
MORbidity PRevalence Estimate In StrokE
StrokeCVA (Cerebrovascular Accident)16 moreInformation regarding the likely progress of post-stroke symptoms is vitally important to stroke survivors to allow them to plan for the future and to adjust to life after stroke. Moreover, the prevalence of morbidity secondary to stroke is of central importance to Health Professionals to understand the prognosis of the disease in the patients under their care. Additionally, it will also allow commissioners of care, planners and third sector organisations to adapt to and answer the needs of a post-stroke population. Currently, the data collected by national audit programmes are concentrated on what can be termed 'process or process of care' data. The utility of these data are in the ability to audit the care received by stroke survivors on stroke units against evidenced standards for care, thus ensuring evidence based practice. Nevertheless, process of care is only one form of measuring stroke unit care and the audit programmes collect some limited functional status data, data relating to risk-factor co-morbidities and treatment received data. Therefore, the scope of this study is to build on the minimum data set currently collected and to collect post-stroke data in domains not currently collected. The International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement (ICHOM) takes important steps to collect data outside of process of care data such as a Patient Reported outcome data in their minimum outcome data set for stroke [currently under review].. Nevertheless, the ICHOM doesn't currently advocate the specific collection of data relating to cognitive impairment or emotional problems secondary to stroke. It is in these important aspects that this study will augment the data set currently advocated by ICHOM to collect data in the areas of cognitive impairment and emotional problems secondary to stroke. Therefore, the aim of this study is to quantify the prevalence of morbidity at six months post-stroke.
Neurological Outcomes of Primary Intracerebral Haemorrhage
Intracranial HemorrhageHypertensiveThe main objective of this study is to determine the one-year neurological outcome of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for a primary and spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH).
