Multidimensional analysis of sedentary behaviour and participation in Spanish stroke survivors (Part&Sed-Stroke): a protocol for a longitudinal multicentre study
Introduction Stroke survivors usually experience long-lasting functional, emotional and social consequences that might contribute to sedentary behaviour and participation restrictions, which are important targets to address during rehabilitation. However, the trajectory and inter-relationship between these factors are unknown. Methods and analysis Part&Sed is a research project based on an observational study design with 6 and 12 months of follow-ups in stroke survivors. In addition, a qualitative analysis of the impact of the stroke on the stroke survivor, validation of the Satisfaction with Daily Occupation-Occupati...

Wake-up stroke: Clinical characteristics, sedentary lifestyle, and daytime sleepiness
Conclusion: Wake-up stroke occurs in approximately 25% of stroke cases. In this study, patients with WUS had more diabetes and sedentary lifestyle. Daytime sleepiness is frequent and is associated with sedentary lifestyle and heavy drinking.Resumo Objetivo: wake-up stroke (WUS) define o acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) que ocorre sem hor ário preciso de início, pois os sintomas manifestam-se ao despertar. Alterações do sono associam-se a maior risco de AVC e doenças cardíacas. Este estudo avalia as características dos pacientes com e sem WUS, a presença de sonolência diurna e os fatores de risco associados. Métod...

Recanalisation therapies for wake-up stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: There is insufficient evidence from randomised controlled trials for recommendations concerning recanalisation therapies for wake-up stroke. Results from ongoing trials will hopefully establish the efficacy and safety of such therapies. PMID: 30129656 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Randomized controlled pilot study of a SystemCHANGETM weight management intervention in stroke survivors: rationale and protocol
This study will be the first randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a weight management intervention in stroke survivors using the SystemCHANGETM approach. Furthermore, it will be the first empirically-examined comprehensive lifestyle intervention designed to target physical activity, nutrition, and sleep to promote weight loss in stroke survivors.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01776034

Interventions for post-stroke fatigue.
CONCLUSIONS: There was insufficient evidence on the efficacy of any intervention to treat or prevent fatigue after stroke. Trials to date have been small and heterogeneous, and some have had a high risk of bias. Some of the interventions described were feasible in people with stroke, but their efficacy should be investigated in RCTs with a more robust study design and adequate sample sizes.

Weekly variation in health-care quality by day and time of admission: a nationwide, registry-based, prospective cohort study of acute stroke care
Publication date: Available online 10 May 2016 Source:The Lancet Author(s): Benjamin D Bray, Geoffrey C Cloud, Martin A James, Harry Hemingway, Lizz Paley, Kevin Stewart, Pippa J Tyrrell, Charles D A Wolfe, Anthony G Rudd Background Studies in many health systems have shown evidence of poorer quality health care for patients admitted on weekends or overnight than for those admitted during the week (the so-called weekend effect). We postulated that variation in quality was dependent on not only day, but also time, of admission, and aimed to describe the pattern and magnitude of variation in the quality of acute s...

Self-reported sleep disturbances among people who have had a stroke: a cross-sectional analysis
CMAJ. 2023 Mar 14;195(10):E354-E362. doi: 10.1503/cmaj.221063.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Sleep disturbances and their potential association with stroke remains understudied at a population level. We sought to determine the prevalence of sleep disturbances among people who have effects of stroke compared with the general population.METHODS: We used data from people aged 18 years or older who responded to the sleep and chronic disease modules of the 2017-2018 cycle of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). We measured sleep disturbances by self-reports of having trouble staying awake most or all of the time; either short (<...
