Comparison of Medicare Claims Versus Physician Adjudication for Identifying Stroke Outcomes in the Women's Health Initiative Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Medicare data seem useful for population-based stroke research; however, performance characteristics depend on the definition selected.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation During Rehabilitative Training Improves Functional Recovery After Intracerebral Hemorrhage Brief Reports
Conclusions— VNS paired with rehabilitative training confers significantly improved forelimb recovery after ICH compared to rehabilitative training without VNS.

Multicenter Accuracy and Interobserver Agreement of Spot Sign Identification in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Accuracy for spot identification is high with opportunity for improvement in spot interpretation sensitivity and interobserver agreement particularly through greater reliance on computed tomography angiography source data and awareness of limitations of multiplanar images. Further prospective study is needed.

Development and Validation of an Automatic Segmentation Algorithm for Quantification of Intracerebral Hemorrhage Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—ABC/2 is still widely accepted for volume estimations in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) despite known limitations, which potentially accounts for controversial outcome-study results. The aim of this study was to establish and validate an automatic segmentation algorithm, allowing for quick and accurate quantification of ICH.Methods—A segmentation algorithm implementing first- and second-order statistics, texture, and threshold features was trained on manual segmentations with a random-forest methodology. Quantitative data of the algorithm, manual segmentations, and ABC/2 were evaluate...
