Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of patients transferred from 31 referring hospitals >300 miles (measured by the most direct road distance) to 9 comprehensive stroke centers in Australia and New Zealand for EVT consideration (April 2016 through May 2021). Results: There were 131 patients; the median age was 64 [53-74] years and the median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 16 [12-22]. At baseline, 79 patients (60.3%) had noncontrast CT+CT angiography, 52 (39.7%) also had CTP. At the comprehensive stroke center, 114 (87%) patients underwent cerebral angiography, and 96 (73.3%) proceeded to EVT. At 3 months, 62 patients (48.4%) had an mRS score of 0 to 2 and 81 (63.3%) mRS score of 0 to 3. CTP selection at the referring site was not associated with better ordinal scores on the mRS at 3 months (mRS median of 2 [1-3] versus 3 [1-6] in the patients selected with noncontrast CT+CT angiography, P=0.1). Nevertheless, patients selected with CTP were less likely to have an mRS score of 5 to 6 (odds ratio 0.03 [0.01-0.19]; P<0.01). Conclusions: In selected patients transferred >300 miles, there was a benefit for EVT, with outcomes similar to those treated in the comprehensive stroke center in the EVT extended window trials. Remote hospital CTP selection was not associated with ordinal mRS improvement, but was associated with fewer very poor 3-month outcomes.]]> Tue 18 Jul 2023 14:30:07 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42696 Tue 14 Nov 2023 14:44:08 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47020 Tue 13 Dec 2022 12:44:23 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41188 75%) was observed for all the pooled analyses. Publication bias was also identified. Conclusion: There was no evidence for preferring one type of behaviour change intervention strategy, nor for including multiple strategies in improving thrombolysis rates. However, the study results should be interpreted with caution, as they display high heterogeneity and publication bias.]]> Thu 28 Jul 2022 11:05:36 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37514 Thu 27 Jan 2022 15:57:00 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37855 Thu 20 May 2021 12:09:25 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38992 Mon 22 Apr 2024 15:38:22 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52511 Mon 16 Oct 2023 10:31:18 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37513 Leishmania donovan body (LDB) and LD DNA, respectively. Results: Real-time PCR detected 83 cases among all suspected PKDL patients, with an encouraging sensitivity of 91.2% (83.4%-96.1%), whereas microscopy showed 50.6% (39.9%-61.2%) sensitivity. Among all suspected PKDL cases, 42 cases were positive in both microscopy and qPCR, whereas 41 cases were detected as positive through qPCR only. Conclusions: This study provides evidence that real-time PCR is a promising tool for diagnosis of PKDL in endemic regions. In addition to diagnosis, the quantitative ability of this method could be further exploited for after-treatment prognosis and cure assessment of PKDL cases.]]> Mon 05 Dec 2022 13:50:01 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51943 Fri 22 Sep 2023 16:57:08 AEST ]]>
