January 2019 P a g e | 1 Heart & Stroke Canadian Stroke Best Practices and Quality Advisory Committee Current Writing Group membership

Overview: The Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations (CSBPR) are made possible through the leadership of Heart and Stroke in collaboration with the Canadian Stroke Consortium and an extensive group of dedicated interdisciplinary volunteers who participate on our Canadian Stroke Best Practices and Quality Advisory Committee and our CSBPR writing groups.

CSBPR Writing Groups CSBPR writing groups are convened for each module that is included in the CSBPR. Each writing group has 2 co-chairs and approximately 15 members who are recognized leaders in specific fields of stroke care delivery, epidemiology, guideline development, systems change, and people who have experienced a stroke first hand or as a caregiver to someone who has had a stroke. All members of the CSBPR writing groups are required to complete declarations of conflict of interest prior to participation. All recommendations are updated at least every three years and potentially more frequently based on emerging evidence. Writing group chairs and members ideally serve a maximum of two terms.

Role of the Canadian Stroke Best Practice Recommendations Writing Groups Key responsibilities of the CSBPR writing groups include: - remain current on the scientific evidence and clinical practice related to the topics covered in the module they participate in reviewing; - follow the rigorous and transparent methodology and processes for CSBPR guideline development to ensure high quality and credible recommendations are included; - review all available research evidence and existing recommendations, propose revisions (changes, additions, deletions) as deemed appropriate based on current and emerging evidence and expert consensus-based opinion; - respond to reviewer feedback and finalize modules for public release through the CSBPR website and peer-reviewed publications; - promote evidence-based stroke care across Canada.

Mitigating Conflicts of Interest Members of the CSBPR writing groups serve in a volunteer capacity and do not receive financial remuneration for their participation. All members complete a conflict of interest disclosure form at the start of their involvement on a writing group and update it as appropriate. The broad interdisciplinary composition of each writing group usually enables efficient mitigation of any potential or real conflicts an individual may have. In situations where a member has a specific conflict of interest related to a CSBPR topic, they are recused from voting on final approvals of that specific content.

Members of the following writing groups are listed in this document (Edition, Year of publication): ➢ Telestroke (6th, 2016) ➢ Mood, Cognition and Fatigue (6th, pending 2019)

➢ Secondary Prevention of Stroke (6th, 2017) ➢ Transitions of Care and Participation following Stroke (6th, pending 2019) ➢ Acute Stroke Management (6th, 2018) ➢ Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery (6th, pending 2019) ➢ Secondary Prevention of Stroke during ➢ Management of Patients with Intracerebral Pregnancy (6th, 2017) Hemorrhage (7th, in progress 2019) ➢ Acute Stroke Management during Pregnancy (6th, 2018)
