INTERACT3 study officially launched

NTERACT3 has therefore been initiated as a collaboration between clinical researchers at West China Hospital (WCH), Chengdu and The George Institute (TGI), China, with Professor Chao You, senior neurosurgeon at WCH, and Professor Craig Anderson, Executive Director of TGI China, as the joint principal investigators. INTERACT3 aims to establish the effects of ‘care bundle’ involving the early use of intensive BP lowering, control of glucose and fever, and correction of anticoagulation, as compared to routine care.  The study will use novel stepped wedge cluster clinical trial design to roll-out a quality improvement strategy involving the interventions across hospitals in China and overseas.
