Importance: Blood transfusions are commonly administered to patients with acute brain injury. The optimal hemoglobin transfusion threshold is uncertain in this patient population.
Objective: To assess the impact on neurological outcome of 2 different hemoglobin thresholds to guide red blood cell transfusions in patients with acute brain injury.
Importance: Fever is associated with worse outcomes in patients with stroke, but whether preventing fever improves outcomes is unclear.
Objective: To determine whether fever prevention after acute vascular brain injury is achievable and impacts functional outcome.
Design, Setting, And Participants: Open-label randomized clinical trial with blinded outcome assessment that enrolled 686 of 1176 planned critically ill patients with stroke at 43 intensive care units in 7 countries from March 2017 to April 2021 (last date of follow-up was May 12, 2022).
