Coma in adult cerebral venous thrombosis: the BEAST study
Ranjan, Redoy; Ken‐Dror, Gie; Martinelli, Ida; Grandone, Elvira; Hiltunen, Sini; Lindgren, Erik; Margaglione, Maurizio; Duchez, Veronique Le CamBackground and purpose: Coma is an independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). We aimed to describe the association of age, sex, and radiological characteristics of adult coma patients with CVT. Methods: We used data from the international, multicentre prospective observational BEAST (Biorepository to Establish the Aetiology of Sinovenous Thrombosis) study. Only positive...
Global impact of COVID-19 on stroke care and IV thrombolysis
Nogueira, Raul G.; Qureshi, Muhammad M.; Abdalkader, Mohamad; Martins, Sheila Ouriques; Yamagami, Hiroshi; Qiu, Zhongming; Mansour, Ossama YassinObjective: To measure the global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of IV thrombolysis (IVT), IVT transfers, and stroke hospitalizations over 4 months at the height of the pandemic (March 1 to June 30, 2020) compared with 2 control 4-month periods. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study across 6 continents, 70 countries, and 457 stroke centers. Diagnoses were identified ...
Genetic and lifestyle risk factors for MRI-defined brain infarcts in a populati...
Chauhan, Ganesh; Adams, Hieab H.H.; Satizabal, Claudia L.; Bis, Joshua C.; Teumer, Alexander; Sargurupremraj, Muralidharan; Hofer, EdithObjective: To explore genetic and lifestyle risk factors of MRI-defined brain infarcts (BI) in large population-based cohorts. Methods: We performed meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and examined associations of vascular risk factors and their genetic risk scores (GRS) with MRI-defined BI and a subset of BI, namely, small subcortical BI (SSBI), in 18 population-based cohorts (n = 20,949) f...
Analysis of shared heritability in common disorders of the brain
Anttila, Verneri; Bulik-Sullivan, Brendan; Finucane, Hilary K.; Walters, Raymond K.; Bras, Jose; Duncan, Laramie; Escott-Price, ValentinaDisorders of the brain can exhibit considerable epidemiological comorbidity and often share symptoms, provoking debate about their etiologic overlap. We quantified the genetic sharing of 25 brain disorders from genome-wide association studies of 265,218 patients and 784,643 control participants and assessed their relationship to 17 phenotypes from 1,191,588 individuals. Psychiatric disorders share common varian...
