Educational and homeownership inequalities in stroke incidence: a population-based longitudinal study of mid-aged women
Conclusions: Lower education level is associated with increased stroke risk in mid-aged women, and is partially mediated by known risk factors, particularly lifestyle and biological factors. Non-homeownership is associated with increased stroke risk, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.

Retrospective case review of missed opportunities for primary prevention of stroke and TIA in primary care: protocol paper
This study will investigate: (1) the proportion of strokes/TIAs with prior missed opportunities for prevention in primary care; (2) the influence of patient characteristics on missed prevention opportunities and (3) how the proportion of missed prevention opportunities has changed over time.
Methods and analysis
A retrospective case review will identify first-ever stroke and patients with TIA between 2000 and 2013 using anonymised electronic medical records extracted from the health improvement network (THIN) database. Four categories of missed opportunities for stroke/TIA prevention will be sought: untreated high blood p...

Distribution of Stroke Risk Factors in Eastern Croatia.
Authors: Rostohar Bijelić B, Petek M, Kadojić M, Bijelić N, Kadojić D
Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the distribution of risk factors according to age, gender, subtypes and recurrence of stroke in eastern Croatia. The study included 250 acute stroke patients admitted to University Department of Neurology, Osijek University Hospital Centre in 2011. Patients were grouped according to age, gender, subtypes and recurrence of stroke. The study showed significant differences in the distribution of cigarette smoking, diabetes, cardiomyopathy and hyperuricemia according to patient age. According to gen...

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.

Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Ischemic Stroke
ConclusionsThe patients with ischemic stroke may be considered as a high‐risk population for CKD and be aggressively managed for CKD prevention. The high prevalence of CKD in population with ischemic stroke prompts the need for greater public awareness about risks for CKD.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

The Changes in Mean Platelet Volume after Using of Antiplatelet Drugs in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
CONCLUSION: Every type of antiplatelets included in this study reduced MPV NIHSS, and mRS in acute non-cardioembolic stroke patients. Clopidogrel improved NIHSS the most.

Association between resting heart rate and coronary artery disease, stroke, sudden death and noncardiovascular diseases: a meta-analysis.
Authors: Zhang D, Wang W, Li F
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Resting heart rate is linked to risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, sudden death and noncardiovascular diseases. We conducted a meta-analysis to assess these associations in general populations and in populations of patients with hypertension or diabetes mellitus.
METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase and MEDLINE from inception to Mar. 5, 2016. We used a random-effects model to combine study-specific relative risks (RRs). We used restricted cubic splines to assess the dose-response relation.
RESULTS: We included 45 nonrandomized prospective cohort studi...

Role of Platelet to Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and its Correlation with NIHSS (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale) for Prediction of Severity in Patients of Acute Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSION: Platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) is a simple, cost effective and easily obtainable novel inflammatory marker that may help in predicting the severity of disease and prognosis in terms of functional outcome as evidenced by its increased value in patients of acute ischemic stroke as well as its linear positive correlation with NIHSS score.PMID:34227777
