Statistical analysis plan for the 'Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke' (ENOS) trial.

ABSTRACT: High blood pressure is common during the acute phase of stroke and is associated with a poor outcome. However, the management of high blood pressure remains unclear. The 'Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke' trial tested whether transdermal glyceryl trinitrate, a nitric oxide donor that lowers blood pressure, is safe and effective in improving outcome after acute stroke. Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke is an international multicenter, prospective, randomized, single-blind, blinded endpoint trial, with funding from the U.K. Medical Research Council. Patients with acute ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage and systolic blood pressure 140-220 mmHg were randomized to glyceryl trinitrate or no glyceryl trinitrate and, where relevant, to continue or stop prestroke antihypertensive thera
