Top tips for aspiring PhD students (with Dr Carli Roulston, Venesha Rethnam, & Ruby Lipson-Smith)

Decisions about treatment after stroke involve many factors, combining the latest evidence with the doctor's clinical judgement about the patient in front of them. But how can we use data to improve this decision making? Venesha Rethnam, a PhD student in the Florey Stroke theme, explains.

Improving clinical decision making in stroke with Venesha Rethnam 

After stroke, disability and dependence is measured using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). But this doesn't take stroke survivors' quality of life into account. In her most recently published paper, PhD student Venesha Rethnam has been looking at an alternative way of measuring disability after stroke that does incorporate quality of life: the utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale.
