Outcomes in Hospitalized Ischemic Stroke Patients with Dementia on Admission: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
This study sought to understand the prevalence of dementia in hospitalized patients with ischemic stroke, and its impact on outcomes. METHODS: Using the Canadian Institute of Health Information's (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database (DAD), all acute ischemic stroke admissions from April 2003 to March 2015 in Canada (excluding Quebec) were analyzed. Concurrent dementia at the time of admission was assessed based on hospital diagnostic codes. Characteristics and in-hospital outcomes were compared in patients with and without dementia using χ 2 and negative binomial, as well as Poisson regression analysis. RESULTS: D...

Influence of low income on return to participation following stroke.
CONCLUSION: This case study demonstrated that even in a universal healthcare system, post-stroke participation for those with low incomes was severely restricted. Changes at the clinical level and at the public policy level could facilitate participation. Implications for rehabilitation Income influenced the experience of return to participation for the low-income stroke survivors by limiting their ability to afford housing, goods, and services. The macro environment, which regulates the healthcare and social service systems, was the strongest influence on return to participation for low income stroke survivors. Findings p...

Stroke self-management and the role of self-efficacy.
Conclusions: Engagement in a stroke-specific self-management program can improve client-perceived occupational performance and satisfaction. Self-efficacy was shown to be a mediating variable to occupational performance improvements. Future research should explore further the facilitatory strategies of self-efficacy during stroke self-management programs to maximize rehabilitation outcomes. Implications for rehabilitation Multi-modal self-management programs are recommended as effective for improving client-perceived occupational performance of people who have experienced stroke. Returning to valued occupations, goal setti...

Sensory Modulation and Participation in Daily Occupations in Stroke Survivors : Modulation sensorielle et participation aux occupations quotidiennes chez les survivants d'un AVC
Can J Occup Ther. 2021 Oct 9:84174211047372. doi: 10.1177/00084174211047372. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBackground. Stroke may alter sensory modulation and restrict participation in daily occupations. Although studies highlight the relationship between altered sensory modulation and reduced participation, this relationship in stroke survivors has not been studied enough. Purpose. To examine the prevalence of altered sensory modulation among stroke survivors; to compare sensory modulation and participation between stroke survivors and healthy controls; to estimate the relationship between sensory modulation and participa...

Trends in the Incidence and Risk Factors of Pregnancy-Associated Stroke
The objective of this review is to summarize studies on time trends of PAS in relation to trends in the prevalence of stroke risk factors in pregnant women. Seven retrospective national healthcare register-based cohort studies from the US, Canada, UK, Sweden, and Finland were identified. Five studies from the US, Canada, and Finland reported an increasing trend of PAS. Potential biases include more sensitive diagnostics and improved stroke awareness among pregnant women and professionals toward the end of the study period. However, the concurrent increase in the prevalence of several stroke risk factors among pregnant wome...

Relationships between long-term residential exposure to total environmental noise and stroke incidence
CONCLUSION: The results suggest that total environmental noise is associated with incident stroke, which is consistent with studies on transportation noise and other CVD.PMID:35900388 | DOI:10.4103/nah.nah_34_21
