Assessing mood and cognitive functioning in acute stroke: clinical usability of a Visual Analogue Mood Scale (VAMS)
This study thus aime d at (a) investigating the clinical usability of a Visual Analogue Mood Scale (VAMS) in acute stroke patients and (b) investigating the interplay between mood and cognition in this population.MethodsForty-one acute stroke patients were compared to 41 age-, education- and sex-matched healthy participants (HPs) on the VAMS and on cognitive measures (mental performance in acute stroke, MEPS). A control line bisection (LB) task was administered to control for potential visuo-spatial deficits in patients.ResultsPatients reported higher depression levels than HPs (lower VAMS scores); this between-group diffe...

Molecular mechanisms of cognitive impairment associated with stroke
AbstractStroke is the second leading cause of death after coronary heart disease in developed countries and is the greatest cause of disability and cognitive impairment. Risk factors for cognitive impairment and dementia after stroke are multifactorial including older age, family history, hypertension, arterial fibrillation, diabetes, genetic variants, low educational status, vascular comorbidities, prior transient ischaemic attack or recurrent stroke, depressive illness duration of a stroke, location, volume, intensity, and degree of neuronal degeneration, location and size of infarction after stroke, time interval after ...

Enhancing patient–provider communication for long‐term post‐stroke spasticity management
Stroke is a major public health concern, with estimated 16 million people worldwide experiencing first‐time strokes each year, a number that is expected to rise. Two‐thirds of those experiencing a stroke are younger than 70 years of age. Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults as a result of major sequelae that include spasticity, cognitive impairment, paresis, and depression. Disabling spasticity, defined as spasticity severe enough to require intervention, occurs in 4% of stroke survivors within 1 year of first‐time stroke. The aim of this report is to focus instead on a discussion of patient–provider...

Depression Among Stroke Survivors: A Community-based, Prospective Study from Kolkata, India.
CONCLUSIONS: Approximately one-third of SS develop PSD, similar to developed countries. Prevalence remains stable annually. Delayed peak of PSD suggested later realization of underlying disability. Predictors of PSD have been described and higher literacy was protective in this study.

Educational and homeownership inequalities in stroke incidence: a population-based longitudinal study of mid-aged women
Conclusions: Lower education level is associated with increased stroke risk in mid-aged women, and is partially mediated by known risk factors, particularly lifestyle and biological factors. Non-homeownership is associated with increased stroke risk, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.

Measuring Health-Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL) During Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation (S21.002)
CONCLUSIONS: EQ-5 ratings converged between stroke survivors and clinicians, suggesting it is valid and reliable to measure moderate stroke survivor HRQOL in inpatient rehabilitation. EQ-5 and FIM improvement were poorly associated; HRQOL may independently complement functional outcome assessment in inpatient rehabilitation. Future studies could explore different areas of function to clarify the factor structure of improvement on these measures relative to HRQL.Study Supported by: NIH, Kessler FoundationDisclosure: Dr. Frisina has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation as an...

A Depression Screening Protocol for Patients With Acute Stroke: A Quality Improvement Project
Conclusion: Implementation of the Evidence Based Depression Screening and Treatment (EBDST) protocol improved early detection and treatment of PSD in the hospitalized patients with acute stroke before discharge. The EBDST protocol promoted systematic evidence-based depression screening in the hospitalized patients with acute stroke. Use of the EBDST protocol may further improve long-term health outcomes, decrease mortality, and improve functional recovery and quality of life.

Rates and correlates of suicidal ideation among stroke survivors: a meta-analysis
Conclusion
Despite some limitations, this meta-analysis shows that about one out of eight stroke survivors has suicidal ideation. Thus, there is enough evidence to support the use of routine screening and early interventions to prevent and treat suicidal ideation after stroke, especially among subjects carrying specific correlates.

Strategies to improve the quality of life of persons post-stroke: protocol of a systematic review
DiscussionThis systematic review will identify those quality improvement strategies aimed at the health system, health care professionals, and patients that impact the quality of life of individuals with stroke. Improving awareness and utilization of such strategies may enhance uptake of stroke best practices and reduce inappropriate health care utilization costs.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO,CRD42017064141

Depressive symptoms in stroke patients treated and non-treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy: a 1-year follow-up study
Conclusions(1) Thrombolysed and non-thrombolysed stroke survivors had similar frequency of depressive symptoms although the thrombolysed patients had more severe neurological deficits in the acute phase. It can be assumed that if thrombolysis had not been used, depressive symptoms would have been more frequent. (2) Lack of the rt-PA treatment was associated with three-time greater odds of screening for PSD at 3 months post-stroke, after adjustment for other PSD correlates. (3) Therefore, thrombolytic therapy seems to have a positive, but indirect, effect on patients’ mood, especially in the first months after stroke. (...

Social Support as a Predictor of Community Participation After Stroke
This study aimed to examine the independent contribution of perceived social support to participation 3 months post discharge from inpatient stroke rehabilitation. This study was a secondary analysis of the Stroke Recovery in Underserved Populations 2005–2006 data. Participants were adults ≥55 years old, living in the community 3 months post discharge from inpatient rehabilitation for ischemic stroke (n = 422). Hierarchical linear regressions were performed. The primary variables of interest were the PAR-PRO Measure of Home and Community Participation and the Duke–University of North Carolina Functional Social Suppor...

Biopsychosocial intervention for stroke carers (BISC): results of a feasibility randomised controlled trial and nested qualitative interview study.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that a biopsychosocial intervention was acceptable to carers and can be delivered in group and one-to-one formats. Timing of approach and mode of intervention delivery is critical and requires tailoring to the carers individual needs.
