Patient ‐related characteristics associated with non‐persistence with statin therapy in elderly patients following an ischemic stroke
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that patients aged ≥75 years or those with the presence of diabetes mellitus, dementia, hypercholesterolemia or polypharmacy were likely to be persistent with statin therapy, whereas those with anxiety disorders may need greater assistance with persistence of statin therapy.

Effect of health insurance on direct hospitalisation costs for in-patients with ischaemic stroke in China.
Conclusions Costs per hospitalisation, costs per hospital day and the reimbursement rate were higher for BMISE- than BMISUR-insured in-patients, but BMISE-insured patients had lower out-of-pocket costs. The financial burden was higher for BMISUR- than BMISE-insured in-patients. For BMISUR-insured in-patients, the out-of-pocket payment was 43.54% of total expenses, which means the government should increase the financial investment, raise reimbursement rates and set up differential reimbursements to meet the health needs of in-patients with different income levels.What is known about the topic?

Comparing the economic burden of ischemic stroke patients with and without atrial fibrillation: a retrospective study in Beijing, China.
CONCLUSIONS: AF increased the use of healthcare resources, treatment cost, and economic burden in patients with IS. Therefore, prevention of cardio-embolic events patients with AF by anticoagulants may decrease the economic burden in patients with IS.

Risk of Stroke After Nonarteritic Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy
We are interested to read the study led by Park and associates1 about the risk of stroke in patients with nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). According to this retrospective cohort study, 1125 NAION patients were identified from January 1, 2004 to December 31, 2013, based on the Korean National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) –National Sample Cohort (NSC) database. The occurrence of incident NAION was associated with an increased risk of subsequent stroke in model 1 (crude analysis; hazard ratio [HR] = 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.89–1.92), model 2 (adjusted analysis for demographics; HR...

Increased Incident Ischemic Stroke Risk in Advanced Kidney Disease: A Large-Scale Real-World Data Study.
CONCLUSION: Although we found that OAC use was effective and recommended for patients with AF, advanced kidney disease is still an independent risk factor for IS/SE, even in patients taking OAC. Physicians should be aware of this risk and strictly control modifiable risk factors, regardless of OAC use.

Association between exercise habits and stroke, heart failure, and mortality in Korean patients with incident atrial fibrillation: A nationwide population-based cohort study
by Hyo-Jeong Ahn, So-Ryoung Lee, Eue-Keun Choi, Kyung-Do Han, Jin-Hyung Jung, Jae-Hyun Lim, Jun-Pil Yun, Soonil Kwon, Seil Oh, Gregory Y. H. Lip
BackgroundThere is a paucity of information about cardiovascular outcomes related to exercise habit change after a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated the association between exercise habits after a new AF diagnosis and ischemic stroke, heart failure (HF), and all-cause death. Methods and findingsThis is a nationwide population-based cohort study using data from the Korea National Health Insurance Service. A retrospective analysis was performed for 66,692 pa...

Trends in acute ischemic stroke treatments and mortality in the United States from 2012 to 2018
CONCLUSIONS: From 2012 to 2018, use of tPA and MT increased significantly, irrespective of age, while mortality decreased in the entire AIS population. The most dramatic decrease in mortality was seen in the MT-treated population. Age-standardized mortality improved only in patients older than 70 years, with no change in younger patients.PMID:34198248 | DOI:10.3171/2021.4.FOCUS21117
