Association between estimated glomerular filtration rate and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischaemic stroke: results from China National Stroke Registry
Conclusions: a low eGFR was associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality and recurrent stroke independent of the traditional vascular risk factors in Chinese stroke patients.

248 An Evaluation of Patient Education Post-Stroke
ConclusionThese results illustrate areas in which we can improve education post-stroke, including ensuring patients receive individualised information about the aetiology of their stroke, risk factors and the importance of new medications. It also highlights the importance of ensuring advice regarding driving is clearly explained and documented.

Quality of life among post-stroke Jordanian survivors: a prospective study
This study aims to assess the quality of life (QOL) and the related factors in patients post-stroke in Jordan.
Prospective, the cross-sectional study recruited 100 participants with stroke from three public hospitals from December 1, 2021 to February 1, 2022. Patients with stroke were interviewed to fill the stroke-specific quality of life questionnaire.
Forty-five per cent of the participants were male. More than half of the participants (53%) were married, and the average age of the participants was 63.6 (SD =3.8). Most of the participants had an ischemic stroke (86%) with an affected left side (65%). The overall Q...

IL-6 is a predictive biomarker for stroke associated infection and future mortality in the elderly after an ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that IL-6 may be a key biomarker for predicting stroke associated infection and mortality in the first two years post stroke.

Elevated inflammatory markers predict mortality in long-term ischemic stroke-survivors: a population-based prospective study.
CONCLUSIONS: Fibrinogen and IL-6 were independent predictors of mortality in long-term stroke-survivors, whereas elevated hs-CRP predicted mortality in stroke-free subjects. Mortality risk prediction in stroke-survivors differed from that of stroke-free subjects.

55 A Review of Stroke Demographics and Outcomes at a Regional Hospital without a Stroke Unit
ConclusionThe average length of stay was 16.1 days, considerably higher than the national stroke unit average of 9. The overall mortality rate was 5% higher than the national of 13%. Limited rehabilitation services and time awaiting national rehabilitation beds contributed to the long LOS. There is a definite need for a dedicated stroke service at our hospital, local analysis suggests that 6 beds would meet the needs of our catchment area; and this would lead to better outcomes for stroke patients. A further locally dedicated stroke audit is needed.

Serum levels of renin–angiotensin system components in acute stroke patients
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that changes of serum RAS components could reflect stroke subtypes and predict stroke severity. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2013; ●●: ●●–●●.

Risk factors of outcomes in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke in China.
CONCLUSION: Stroke subtype and severity were associated with stroke outcomes among elderly patients in northern China. These findings suggest that it is crucial to highlight the affected factors of stroke outcome among elderly patients for reduce the burden of stroke in China.

Changes in antiplatelet use prior to incident ischaemic stroke over 7 years in a UK centre and the association with stroke subtype
Conclusions: our findings highlight the requirement to improve currently available risk prediction scores as well as the potential clinical impact of antiplatelet resistance within the at risk population who are already on antiplatelets. These findings also indicate that targeting of multiple risk factors may be very important in stroke prevention.

Depression after minor stroke: the association with disability and quality of life – a 1‐year follow‐up study
ConclusionsPost‐stroke depression was independently associated with disability and poor QoL at 1 year after first‐ever minor ischemic stroke. Recovery from PSD decreased but did not eliminate the adverse impacts of PSD on outcomes of minor stroke.

Post-stroke Dementia: Epidemiology, Mechanisms and Management
Publication date: Available online 10 August 2017 Source:International Journal of Gerontology Author(s): Gwo-Chi Hu, Yi-Min Chen Post-stroke dementia (PSD) is a clinical entity that encompasses all types of dementia following an index stroke, which may affect up to one third of stroke survivors. Unlike physical disability after stroke, cognitive function usually worsens over time and are often overlooked with detrimental impacts on the quality of life of survivors. The risk factors for post-stroke dementia are multifactorial and includes genetic predisposition, demographic factors (like older age and lower education statu...
