Cardio-embolic stroke: Lessons from a single centre in Sub-Saharan Africa.
CONCLUSION: CES accounted for 1/4 of ischemic stroke with a high risk of early death and long-term recurrence. Atrial fibrillation was the leading cause of CES. The association of VKA and anti-platelet agent should be avoided to reduce early death during acute stroke. PMID: 31155304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A pilot study evaluating the use of ABCD2 score in pre-hospital assessment of patients with suspected transient ischaemic attack: experience and lessons learned
ConclusionsIt is possible to identify, recruit and follow up patients with suspected TIA in the EMS setting. Training large numbers of EMS staff is required as exposure to TIA patients is infrequent. Significant insight was gained into the complexity of NHS research governance mechanisms in the UK. This knowledge will facilitate the planning of a future adequately powered study to validate the ABCD2 tool in a pre-hospital setting.
