Renal dysfunction is associated with lower odds of home discharge for patients with stroke
CONCLUSION: The odds of home discharge for stroke patients decreased with a significant independent graded association with declining eGFR levels. Renal function could predict home discharge after stroke.PMID:34351833 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2021.1964198

Detailed risks and characteristics of postepilepsy stroke in non-traumatic adult-onset epilepsy
CONCLUSION: Since the increased risk of stroke in epilepsy cohort peaked immediately after epilepsy diagnosis, early implementation of prevention strategies is considered.PMID:35484004 | DOI:10.1016/j.jfma.2022.04.003

Impact of code stroke on thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke at a secondary referral hospital in Taiwan
ConclusionCode stroke is effective in reducing in-hospital delays. The accuracy of code stroke activation has acceptable sensitivity but low specificity. Rapid patient assessment by neurologists increases the number of patients eligible for thrombolytic therapy.

Characterization of familial hypercholesterolemia in Taiwanese ischemic stroke patients
Aging (Albany NY). 2021 Jul 27;13(undefined). doi: 10.18632/aging.203320. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFamilial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common genetic disorder characterized by a lifelong elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level. The relationship between FH and ischemic stroke is still controversial. We enrolled ischemic stroke patients prospectively in our neurological ward, and divided them into two groups according to LDL-C levels with a threshold of 130 mg/dl. Targeted sequencing was performed in all stroke patients for LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 genes. The fifty-eight high-LDL subjects were older,...

Decreased Risk of Stroke in People Using Red Yeast Rice Prescriptions (LipoCol Forte ®): a Total Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Study
This study showed a potentially positive effect of RYR on the risk of stroke. However, compliance with medication use should be cautioned. The findings of this study require future studies to validate the beneficial effects of RYR prescription on stroke risk.PMID:35502179 | PMC:PMC9056220 | DOI:10.1155/2022/8160425

Risk Factors for Postischemic Stroke Epilepsy in Young Adults: A Nationwide Population-Based Study in Taiwan
ConclusionsStroke severity, aphasia, malignancy, and drug abuse were associated increased risk of PSE and statin use may protect against PSE in young adults. Reducing the severity of stroke, statin use and controlling unhealthy behaviors might be able to decrease the development of PSE. Since PSE is associated with poor outcomes, early identification or intervention of PSE based on the risk factors might reduce the harmful effects of PSE.

The Effect of Health Education on Taiwanese Hypertensive Patients’ Knowledge and Cognition of Stroke
ConclusionsFurther studies with a longer follow‐up (6 months or 1 year) are needed to evaluate the long‐term effects of health education on stroke knowledge and cognition among patients with hypertension. Linking Evidence to ActionAn outpatient health education program using a CD‐ROM and printed information for hypertensive patients can improve the patients’ knowledge and cognition of stroke.

Risk of stroke in patients with dengue fever: a population-based cohort study.
Authors: Li HM, Huang YK, Su YC, Kao CH Abstract BACKGROUND: Stroke is a severe neurologic complication of dengue fever, described in only a few case reports. The incidence and risk factors for stroke in patients with dengue remain unclear. We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study to investigate the risk of stroke in patients with dengue. METHODS: Using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database, we included a total of 13 787 patients with dengue newly diagnosed between 2000 and 2012. The control cohort consisted of patients who did not have dengue, matched 1:1 by demogra...

Epidemiology, risk factors and characteristics of pediatric stroke: a nationwide population-based study
Conclusions and implicationsInfants younger than 2  years, boys and children in lower socioeconomic status have a significantly higher risk of stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke has a significantly higher mortality rate than ischemic stroke. More than half of the children with stroke had underlying diseases and the causes of hemorrhagic stroke are signifi cantly different from ischemic stroke.
