Løvik, Katja; Laupsa-Borge, Johnny; Logallo, Nicola; Helland, Christian Andre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Dyslipidemia is a well-established risk factor for coronary artery disease. However, the effect on cerebral artery disease, and more specifically the rupture risk of intracranial aneurysms, is unclear and has not yet been ... -

Bjerkreim, Anna Therese; Khanevski, Andrej; Selvik, Henriette Aurora; Waje-Andreassen, Ulrike; Thomassen, Lars; Næss, Halvor; Logallo, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12-03)Background. Stroke aetiologymay affect the risk and causes of readmission after ischaemic stroke (IS) and transient ischaemic attack (TIA) due to differences in risk factors, functional outcome, and treatment.We aimed to ... -
Impaired cerebrovascular reactivity may predict delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Bøthun, Marianne Lundervik; Haaland, Øystein Ariansen; Moen, Gunnar; Logallo, Nicola; Svendsen, Frode; Thomassen, Lars; Helland, Christian Andre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Introduction: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a major cause of disability and death after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The literature suggests that impaired cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) may be a predictor for ... -

The Norwegian tenecteplase stroke trial (NOR-TEST): randomised controlled trial of tenecteplase vs. alteplase in acute ischaemic stroke
Logallo, Nicola; Kvistad, Christopher Elnan; Nacu, Aliona; Næss, Halvor; Waje-Andreassen, Ulrike; Asmuss, Jörg; Aamodt, Anne Hege; Lund, Christian; Kurz, Martin; Rønning, Ole Morten; Salvesen, Rolf; Idicula, Titto T.; Thomassen, Lars (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-15)Background: Alteplase is the only approved thrombolytic agent for acute ischaemic stroke. The overall benefit from alteplase is substantial, but some evidence indicates that alteplase also has negative effects on the ... -
One-year versus five-year hospital readmission after ischemic stroke and TIA
Bjerkreim, Anna Therese; Næss, Halvor; Khanevski, Andrej; Thomassen, Lars; Waje-Andreassen, Ulrike; Logallo, Nicola (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-29)Background: The burden of hospital readmission after stroke is substantial, but little knowledge exists on factors associated with long-term readmission after stroke. In a cohort comprising patients with ischemic stroke ... -

A pragmatic approach to sonothrombolysis in acute ischaemic stroke: The Norwegian randomised controlled sonothrombolysis in acute stroke study (NOR-SASS)
