CE mark today for Methinks Ischemia: ischemic core volume from non-contrast CT alone. Our study (230 LVO patients): its estimate tracked final MRI infarct about as well as CT perfusion (ICC 0.50 vs 0.54). doi.org/10.1161/SVIN.124.001… neuronewsinternational.com/m…

Running a stroke trial across 20 sites is mostly not about the stroke. It's whether a site activates in weeks not months. Whether imaging arrives in a form a core lab can adjudicate. Whether the data reaching the statistician is the data that happened at the bedside. #ClinicalTrials #ClinicalResearch #DataManagement

In a new meta-analysis from this lab, LVO prevalence was 29.3% among EMS-transported patients against 23.1% pooled - and ranged from 11.2% to 40% between studies. Which population you triage changes the number. @AndersonBr17 & MAP-STROKE team: Stroke Vasc Interv Neurol. 2026;6:e002576. doi.org/10.1161/SVIN.126.002…
