Ischemic strokes in COVID-19: risk factors, obesity paradox, and distinction between trigger and causal association
ConclusionOur stroke occurrence rate is consistent with other population-based reports (range 0.34–2.7%). Prespecified peculiar clinical and radiological features allow the distinction between “IS caused by COVID-19” and “IS triggered by COVID-19.” Clinical history of vascular diseases and risk factors is crucial in determining the risk of IS in patients with COVID-19. However, the protective effect of a BMI > 30 kg/m2 seems to suggest an obesity paradox.

Analysis of influencing factors of early neurological improvement after intravenous rt-PA thrombolysis in acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke
ConclusionThe effect of rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis within the time window of patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke is significant, but the ENI after thrombolysis is easily affected by the level of blood glucose; diabetes is the most important factor affecting the acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke patients Clinical factors of ENI after intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA.

The Romberg sign, unilateral vestibulopathy, cerebrovascular risk factors, and long-term mortality in dizzy patients
ConclusionsUnsteadiness measured by static posturography is associated with higher age, known cerebrovascular risk factors, and with increased long-term mortality, but not with canal paresis in patients evaluated for dizziness. The study highlights the importance of evaluating patients with conspicuous postural instability for non-vestibular causes.

Risk of New-Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation After Transient Ischemic Attack
ConclusionThe risk of NDAF after TIA is clinically relevant. We identified clinical and neuroimaging factors of NDAF. In addition, NT-proBNP was related to NDAF. Our results can be used to evaluate the benefit of long-term cardiac monitoring in selected patients.

Predictive Value of the Systemic Immune Inflammation Index for Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke
ConclusionThe systemic immune-inflammation index is associated with short-term adverse outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke, and the nomograms can predict the risk of adverse outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Does Prior Stroke Predict Long-Term Recurrent Stroke After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention? Five-Year Results From a Large Cohort Study
Conclusions: Coronary heart disease patients with prior stroke who received PCI had a higher incidence of 5-year long-term adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, especially recurrent stroke. Prior stroke was a strong risk predictor of future stroke events.

Characteristics and Outcomes of Intravenous Thrombolysis in Mild Ischemic Stroke Patients
Conclusion: In mild ischemic stroke patients with IVT, an elevated baseline SBP and coronary heart disease were associated with END. The elevated baseline SBP, baseline NIHSS, a history of prior hyperlipemia, cardioembolic stroke, and END at 24 h after IVT were useful in predicting an unfavorable outcome at 3 months.

Application of Machine Learning Techniques to Identify Data Reliability and Factors Affecting Outcome After Stroke Using Electronic Administrative Records
Conclusion: Electronic administrative records from this cohort produced reliable outcome prediction and identified clinically appropriate factors negatively impacting most outcome variables following hospital admission with stroke. This presents a means of future identification of modifiable factors associated with patient discharge destination. This may potentially aid in patient selection for certain interventions and aid in better patient and clinician education regarding expected discharge outcomes.
