A huge thank you to my co-authors who helped me put this together: Angely Suerte, Elmira Khiabani, Marin Parranto, Sara Gannon Arnott, @akalisva.bsky.social, @itchyshin.bsky.social, my supervisors Ana Klahr and Fred Colbourne, and CIHR for funding this work!

Finally, we stuck to rigorous and robust techniques to reduce Type I error in our results, including:

⭐ Hierarchical meta-analysis and robust variance estimation

⭐ Article pre-registration with #PROSPERO

⭐ Open data sharing on OSF (osf.io/kf7t2/overview)

Perhaps unsurprisingly, sex and gonadal status were significant moderators of estrogen and progesterone's effects, which with further study may provide insight into how menopausal #HRT, #birthcontrol, and #GAHT may affect stroke outcomes

Key findings:

🧠 Estrogen and progesterone seem to improve outcomes after AIS

🧠 Limited data on testosterone is available, but preliminary analysis suggests lower doses may be more beneficial and higher doses may be harmful

🧠 More research is needed in ICH and SAH!

Oh my gosh that looks amazing!! Haha I love it!

What an awesome idea!! That is unfortunately not on my normal bike route, but I'll have to swing by there sometime to meet some of the other biking folks in town :) (though I'm only a summer biker haha)

Personally, I'm pretty passionate about my puppy (who loves me I swear) and also playing tons of video games in my spare time 🎮!
