Your input is needed on a review considering the timing of starting blood-thinning medicines after a stroke for people with a type of stroke caused by a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (not caused by a heart valve problem).
Skills / interests: Patient and public input
Would you be interested in helping us with this research article focused on the timing of starting blood-thinning medicines after a stroke for people with a type of stroke caused by a heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation (not caused by a heart valve problem)?
I am looking for a patient or member of the public who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Early versus delayed anticoagulation treatment for people with non-valvular atrial fibrillation-related acute ischaemic stroke.”
When we say ‘patients and the public’, we mean patients and potential patients, carers, people who use health and social care services, and people or organizations that represent these groups.
We are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary (PLS), is accessible and if it feels relevant for those experiencing a stroke linked to atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart rhythm that can increase the risk of blood clots), so it will be helpful to patients and members of the public making healthcare decisions.
We welcome feedback on any aspect of the review. Noting, particular focus and feedback for the PLS section. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task and not overburden our reviewers.
If you are interested in providing peer review, please include your e-mail address in your response. This will allow us to confirm your enrolment in our editorial management system (called Editorial Manager) and ensure that you can receive the review assignment.
Thank you in advance for your consideration!
