      Background - The safety and efficacy of oral anticoagulation for prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events in people with atrial fibrillation and spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage are uncertain. We planned to estimate the effects of starting versus avoiding oral anticoagulation in people with spontaneous intracranial haemorrhage and atrial fibrillation.<p> <p>Methods - In this prospective ...
    • Impairments in spatial navigation during walking in patients 70 years or younger with mild stroke

      <p><i>Background:</i> Spatial navigation, the ability to determine and maintain a route from one place to another, is needed for independence in everyday life. Knowledge about impairments in spatial navigation in people with mild stroke is scarce. <p><i>Objectives:</i> To explore impairments in spatial navigation in patients ≤70 years after first-ever mild ischemic stroke (NIHSS≤3) and to explore ...
    • Long-term effects on survival after a 1-year multifactorial vascular risk factor intervention after stroke or TIA: secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial, a 7-year follow-up study 

      Hagberg, Guri; Fure, Brynjar; Sandset, Else Charlotte; Thommessen, Bente; Ihle-Hansen, Håkon; Øksengård, Anne Rita; Nygård, Ståle; Wyller, Torgeir Bruun; Ihle-Hansen, Hege (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-07)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Stroke and coronary heart disease share the same risk factors, and a multifactorial intervention after stroke may potentially result in the same reduction in cardiovascular mortality as seen after coronary events. We aimed to evaluate the effect on survival 7 years after a 1-year multifactorial risk factor intervention, and identify clinical predictors for long-term survival ...
    • The patterns and burden of multimorbidity in geriatric patients with prolonged use of addictive medications 

      Cheng, Socheat; Siddiqui, Tahreem Ghazal; Gossop, Michael; Wyller, Torgeir Bruun; Kristoffersen, Espen Saxhaug; Lundqvist, Anders Christofer (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-18)
      <i>Background</i> - Multimorbidity and prolonged use of addictive medications are prevalent among older patients, and known to increase the risk of adverse drug events. Yet, the relationship between these two entities has remained understudied.<br><br> <i>Aims</i> - This study explored the association between multimorbidity burden and prolonged use of addictive medications in geriatric patients, ...
    • Promoting psychosocial well-being following stroke: study protocol for a randomized, controlled trial 

      Kirkevold, Marit; Bragstad, Line Kildal; Bronken, Berit Arnesveen; Kvigne, Kari Johanne; Martinsen, Randi; Hjelle, Ellen Gabrielsen; Kitzmüller, Gabriele; Mangset, Margrete; Angel, Sanne; Aadal, Lena; Eriksen, Siren; Wyller, Torgeir Bruun; Sveen, Unni (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-03)
      <p><i>Background</i>: Stroke is a major public health threat globally. Psychosocial well-being may be affected following stroke. Depressive symptoms, anxiety, general psychological distress and social isolation are prevalent. Approximately one third report depressive symptoms and 20% report anxiety during the first months or years after the stroke. Psychosocial difficulties may impact significantly ...
    • STudy of Antithrombotic Treatment after IntraCerebral Haemorrhage: Protocol for a randomised controlled trial 

      Larsen, Kristin Tveitan; Forfang, Elisabeth; Pennlert, Johanna; Glader, Eva-Lotta; Kruuse, Christina; Wester, Per; Ihle-Hansen, Hege; Carlsson, Maria; Berge, Eivind; Al-Shahi Salman, Rustam; Wyller, Torgeir Bruun; Rønning, Ole M. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-03)
      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 ...
