Stroke and transient ischaemic attack in over 16s: diagnosis and initial management

Impact of intensive blood pressure lowering on people who are frail: What is the efficacy and safety of intensive interventions to lower blood pressure compared with less intensive interventions for people with acute intracerebral haemorrhage who are frail at presentation?

Impact of intensive interventions to lower blood pressure on cognitive function, functional ability and quality of life: What are the long-term effects of intensive interventions to lower blood pressure on cognitive function, functional ability and quality of life compared with standard interventions in people with acute intracerebral haemorrhage?

MRI brain scanning: Does early MRI brain scanning improve outcomes after suspected transient ischaemic attack (TIA)?

Avoidance of aspiration pneumonia: Does the withdrawal of oral liquids or the use of modified (thickened) oral fluids prevent the development of aspiration pneumonia after an acute stroke?

Aspirin and anticoagulant treatment for acute ischaemic stroke: Does modified-release dipyridamole or clopidogrel with aspirin improve outcome compared with aspirin alone when administered early after acute ischaemic stroke?

Aspirin treatment in acute ischaemic stroke: Should a person who has a stroke or a TIA and is already taking aspirin be prescribed the same or an increased dose of aspirin after the stroke?

Early mobilisation and optimum positioning of people with acute stroke: How safe and effective is very early mobilisation delivered by appropriately trained healthcare professionals after stroke?

Safety and efficacy of carotid stenting: What is the safety and efficacy of carotid stenting compared with carotid endarterectomy when these procedures are carried out within 2 weeks of TIA or recovered stroke?
