Details

In a meta-analysis, Geeganage and Bath (2010) studied whether blood pressure (BP) should be actively altered during the acute phase of stroke, and assessed the effect of multiple vasoactive drugs on BP in acute stroke. Selection criteria included: Randomized trials of interventions that would be expected, on pharmacological grounds, to alter BP in patients within one week of the onset of acute stroke. There were four outcomes: systolic blood pressure (SBP, in mHg), diastolic blood pressure (DBP, in mHg), death (D), and death or disability (DD).

ID:ID for each study included
ft_DNumber of early death within 1 month (D) in "1 Drug" Group
fc_DNumber of D in "control" Group
nt_DNumber of people in "1 Drug" Group reporting D status
nc_DNumber of people in "control" Group reporting D status
OR_DOdds ratio of D for "1 Drug" versus "control" group
ft_DDNumber of early death or deterioration within 1 month (DD) in "1 Drug" Group
fc_DDNumber of early DD in "control" Group
nt_DDNumber of people in "1 Drug" Group reporting DD status
nc_DDNumber of people in "control" Group reporting DD status
OR_DDOdds ratio of DD for "1 Drug" versus "control" group
nt_SBPNumber of people in "1 Drug" Group reporting Systolic blood pressure (SBP) status
nc_SBPNumber of people in "control" Group reporting SBP status
MD_SBPMean difference of SBP for "1 Drug" versus "control" group
sdt_SBPStandard deviation of SBP in "1 Drug" Group
sdc_SBPStandard deviation of SBP in "control" Group
nt_DBPNumber of people in "1 Drug" Group reporting Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) status
nc_DBPNumber of people in "control" Group reporting DBP status
MD_DBPMean difference of DBP for "1 Drug" versus "control" group
sdt_DBPStandard deviation of DBP in "1 Drug" Group
sdc_DBPStandard deviation of DBP in "control" Group
SMD_SBPStandardized mean difference of SBP for "1 Drug" versus "control" group
SMD_DBPStandardized mean difference of DBP for "1 Drug" versus "control" group
