      <p><i>Background and Purpose — </i>Tenecteplase represents a promising alternative to alteplase as thrombolytic treatment in acute ischemic stroke. There are limited data on tenecteplase 0.4 mg/kg in patients with increased stroke severity. We aimed to assess safety and efficacy of tenecteplase 0.4 mg/kg in patients with moderate and severe ischemic stroke. <p><i>Methods — </i>NOR-TEST (Norwegian ...

      Background and aims - Many patients with prior intracerebral haemorrhage have indications for antithrombotic treatment with antiplatelet or anticoagulant drugs for prevention of ischaemic events, but it is uncertain whether such treatment is beneficial after intracerebral haemorrhage. STudy of Antithrombotic Treatment after IntraCerebral Haemorrhage will assess (i) the effects of long-term antithrombotic ...
    • Temporal trends in incidence and case fatality of intracerebral hemorrhage. The Tromsø Study 1995-2012 

      Carlsson, Maria; Wilsgaard, Tom; Johnsen, Stein Harald; Vangen-Lønne, Anne Merete; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Njølstad, Inger; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-16)
      <p>Background: The aim of this study was to explore temporal trends in incidence and case fatality rates of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) over the last two decades in a Norwegian municipality. <p>Methods: Incident cases of primary ICH were registered in the period from 1995 through 2012 in 32,530 par ticipants of the longitudinal population-based Tromsø Study. Poisson regression models were used ...
    • Temporal trends in intracerebral hemorrhage in a general population. Incidence, risk factors, case fatality and long-term mortality. The Tromsø Study 

      Carlsson, Maria (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2021-11-12)
      Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the second most common subtype of stroke. The prognosis is poor. However, it is to a large degree a preventable disease. The aim of our study was to analyse the association between cardiovascular risk factors and risk of ICH, and to assess the impact of changes in risk factor levels over time on incidence rates of ICH. In addition, we aimed to analyse short- and ...
