Depression, stroke, and dementia in patients with myocardial infarction.
In conclusion, we found that preceding depression was associated with moderately increased mortality after MI, and that 
was associated with an increased risk of stroke and vascular dementia, but not dementia from other causes. PMID: 29619929 [PubMed - in process]

Incidence of stroke, transient ischaemic attack and determinants of poststroke mortality among immigrants in Denmark, 2004-2018: a population-based cohort study
Conclusions The age-standardised risk of stroke and TIA was significantly higher among the majority of immigrants than Danish-born individuals. Interventions that reduce the burden of comorbidities, improve acute stroke care and target sociodemographic factors may address the higher risk of poststroke mortality among immigrants.

Wide variation in function level assessment after stroke in Denmark.
CONCLUSIONS: The vast majority of services use standardised instruments, but there is absolutely no consensus on which instruments to use. There is a strong need for recommendations on which instruments should be used in stroke rehabilitation in the transition from hospital-based to home-based rehabilitation. FUNDING: This study was supported by a grant from the Management Forum for Collaboration between Aarhus University and the Central Denmark Region, Denmark. None of the authors have any personal financial interests in the work undertaken or the findings reported. TRIAL REGISTRATION: not relevant. PMID: 3026...

Atrial cardiomyopathy in patients with ischaemic stroke: a cross-sectional and prospective cohort study--the COAST study
This study uses cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to evaluate atrial cardiomyopathy among patients with stroke of undetermined aetiology compared with those with an attributable mechanism and controls without established cardiovascular disease. Methods and analysis This cross-sectional and prospective cohort study included 100 patients with recent ischaemic stroke and 50 controls with no established cardiovascular disease. The study will assess LA structural and functional abnormalities with CMR. Inclusion began in March 2019, and follow-up is planned to be complete in January 2023. There are two scheduled follow-ups: (1) ...

Relationship between serum insulin-like growth factor 1 levels and ischaemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusion Higher serum IGF-1 was significantly correlated with a lower risk of ischaemic stroke. In view of the high degree of heterogeneity, it may need more studies to confirm the prognostic value of serum IGF-1 levels in ischaemic stroke and explore the sources of heterogeneity.

Trigger team activation in the emergency department at a tertiary university hospital
CONCLUSION Patients with MEP calls are more frequent, have a more diverse aetiology and a higher mortality than patients in the other trigger teams. A need exists for further guidelines and research regarding MEP with a view to reducing the high mortality rate among MEP in the future. FUNDING Annmarie Lassen was funded by an unrestricted grant from the philanthropic fund the Tryg Foundation given to the University of Southern Denmark. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study was approved by the Danish Health Authority (Record no. 3-3013-1385/1) and the Danish Data Protection Agency (Record no. 2013-41-2435).PMID:34983729

Impact of prestroke physical activity and citalopram treatment on poststroke depressive symptoms: a secondary analysis of data from the TALOS randomised controlled trial in Denmark
Conclusions A higher prestroke physical activity level was associated with fewer depressive symptoms 1 and 6 months after stroke. Citalopram treatment did not seem to modify this association. Trial registration numbers NCT01937182 (ClinicalTrials.gov) and 2013-002253-30 (EUDRACT).
