Changes in the Employment Status and Risk of Stroke and Stroke Types Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Job lost men and women and reemployed men had increased risks for both hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke incidence and mortality.

Socioeconomic Conditions in Childhood, Adolescence, and Adulthood and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— This study supports the hypothesis that unfavorable childhood socioeconomic conditions are related to ischemic stroke risk, independent of established risk factors and socioeconomic status in adulthood, and fosters the idea that stroke prevention needs to begin early in life.

Frequency and Determinants of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stroke in Urban Pakistan
Conclusions: ICAD accounted for one fifth of all strokes making it the most common ischemic stroke mechanism. In addition to aggressive risk factor control, data also indicated broader holistic efforts on ameliorating inequity, unemployment, and stress reduction to reduce stroke because of ICAD.

Factors associated with delay in presentation to the hospital for young adults with ischemic stroke (P3.237)
Conclusions: A majority of young adults with ischemic stroke presented outside the time window for intravenous fibrinolysis. Diabetes, single status, and unemployed status were associated with delayed presentation. Disclosure: Dr. Leung has nothing to disclose. Dr. Louis R. Caplan has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for JAMA Neurology.

Long-term increased risk of unemployment after young stroke: A long-term follow-up study
Conclusion: Young stroke patients had a 2–3 times higher risk of unemployment after 8 years of follow-up. Return-to-work programs should be developed, adjusted, and evaluated in order to diminish the negative effects that unemployment can have on patients' life satisfaction and to limit the socioeconomic consequences.

Impact of living and socioeconomic characteristics on cardiovascular risk in ischemic stroke patients
ConclusionVascular risk in stroke patients in low‐ and middle‐income countries varies not only with the number of arterial beds involved but also with socioeconomic variables.

The association between socioeconomic status and disability after stroke: Findings from the Adherence eValuation After Ischemic stroke Longitudinal (AVAIL) registry
Conclusions: In this cohort of stroke survivors, socioeconomic status was associated with disability following acute ischemic stroke. The results may have implications for public health and health service interventions targeting stroke survivors at risk of poor outcomes.

Gender-Related Differences and Short-Term Outcome of Stroke: Results from a Hospital-Based Registry in Sub-Saharan Africa
Conclusions: Sex differences exist in the clinical profile of stroke but not in the outcome. Knowledge of these differences could help influence stroke prevention, thereby improving stroke burden in Africa.Neuroepidemiology 2017;49:179 –188

Arterial Ischemic Stroke in Children and Young Adults
This article reviews risk factors, recurrence risk, evaluation, management, and outcomes of arterial ischemic stroke in children and young adults. Recent Findings: The risk for recurrence and mortality appear to be low for neonatal and childhood stroke. Most children have relatively mild deficits, but those who have greater neurologic deficits, poststroke epilepsy, or strokes early in life are at risk for lower overall cognitive function. Stroke recurrence and long-term mortality after stroke in young adults are greater than originally thought. Cognitive impairments, depression, and anxiety are associated with higher leve...

Prevalence and associated factors of self-reported ischaemic heart disease and/or stroke: a cross-sectional nationally representative community-based study of adults in Malawi in 2017
Conclusions Almost 1 in 10 women and 1 in 20 men aged 18–69 years had IHD and/or stroke in Malawi. Several risk and protective factors were found that can be targeted in population health interventions.

Ecological Momentary Assessment of Real-World Functional Behaviors in Individuals with Stroke: A Longitudinal Observational Study
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings reveal that EMA tracked post-stroke functioning precisely. EMA may be beneficial in examining post-stroke functional recovery, monitoring patients for home-based interventions, and for longitudinal research.PMID:35278467 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2022.02.011

Specificities of Ischemic Stroke Risk Factors in Arab-Speaking Countries
Background: Stroke is largely preventable, and therefore, a better understanding of risk factors is an essential step in reducing the population stroke rate and resulting disease burden in Arab countries.Summary: We performed 2 separate analyses in 2 similar populations of patients with noncardioembolic ischemic stroke. This first involved 3,635 patients in the Outcomes in Patients with TIA and Cerebrovascular disease (OPTIC) registry (followed for 2 years), with baseline collection of the usual risk factors and 5 socioeconomic variables (unemployment status, residence in rural area, living in fully serviced accommodation,...

Social Gradients in Myocardial Infarction and Stroke Diagnoses in Emergency Medicine.
CONCLUSION: This study shows that the case-activity rate of the emergency medical services is significantly higher in socially disadvantaged neighborhoods, both with respect to total numbers and with respect to individual diseases. It demonstrates a problem affecting society as a whole, which should be taken into account in the organization of medical rescue services. PMID: 29467072 [PubMed - in process]
