Performance Stability and Interrater Reliability of Culturally Adapted 10-Meter Walking Test for Danes with Neurological Disorders
Background: The 10-meter Walking Test (10MWT) is often used to assess people with, e.g., stroke, but often using different procedures. The aims of this study were to translate the 10MWT into Danish, to determine the number of trials needed to achieve performance stability, and to examine the interrater reliability and agreement of the 10MWT in people with neurological disorders. Methods: Translation followed international recommendations, and evaluated in a consecutive sample of 50 people with a neurological disorder.

Acupuncture for Post-stroke Shoulder-Hand Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Acupuncture therapy seems effective for motor function, pain relief and activities of daily living in stroke patients with mild SHS, when it is used in combination with rehabilitation. The low certainty of evidence downgrades our confidence in making recommendations to clinical practice. Introduction Shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) is a common condition among people who have had a stroke, with its reported prevalence ranging from 12% to 49% (1, 2). The main symptoms of SHS include pain, hyperalgesia, joint swelling and limitations in range of motion (ROM) (3). Post-stroke SHS is also named type I complex ...

Corticospinal Tract Integrity and Long-Term Hand Function Prognosis in Patients With Stroke
Conclusions: The present study showed that CST integrity (at 6 months after onset) in patients with chronic stroke was related to functional hand status. In addition, the mid-pons FA value was more predictive of functional restoration of the hand than the FN or FA value at the pontomedullary junction. These results may be useful in predicting the functional restoration of the hand and understanding the functional prognosis of stroke. Introduction Restoration of hand function is one of the most important goals for patients with stroke (1). Thus, techniques that aid in predicting restoration of hand function are also i...

Social Inequality by Income in Short- and Long-Term Cause-Specific Mortality after Stroke
Goals: It is unclear whether social inequality exists for mortality after stroke. Results of studies on the relation between socioeconomic position (SEP) and mortality after stroke have been inconsistent and inconclusive. Material and Methods: We studied the association between SEP expressed by income and the risk of death after stroke by merging data on incident stroke from Danish registries with nationwide coverage. We identified all incident cases of stroke hospitalized in Denmark 2003-2012 (n  = 60503).

Post-stroke lower urinary system dysfunction and its relation with functional and mental status: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSION: LUTD is a common problem in patients with stroke. LUTD is associated with poorer cognitive and functional status and the quality of life in these patients. We, therefore, suggest that bladder dysfunction should not be overlooked during rehabilitation of stroke patients. PMID: 30570391 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Guillain –Barré syndrome in Denmark: a population-based study on epidemiology, diagnosis and clinical severity
ConclusionThe epidemiology and full clinical spectrum of GBS are described in a population-based study. This includes a larger proportion of milder cases that are underrepresented in prospective cohorts such as IGOS.

Age as a prognostic factor in relation to surgical evacuation of spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Neurosurgical treatment of the sICH patients is indicated only if age and potentially improved morbidity is carefully evaluated considering the STICH and this study; otherwise, we will just increase the health care burden with a number of extremely care-dependent patients.

Risk of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Strokes in Occult and Manifest Cancers Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Cancer, occult and manifest, is associated with increased risks for stroke. The increased risk is linked mainly to cancers related to smoking.

Secondary Stroke Prophylaxis with Clopidogrel Produces Sufficient Antiplatelet Response
Antiplatelet therapy is a cornerstone prevention strategy for secondary ischemic stroke (IS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA). Yet, a proportion of patients who receive antiplatelet therapy experience recurrent ischemic cerebrovascular events. A recent meta-analysis found an increased risk of recurrent stroke in clopidogrel- or aspirin-treated patients with ischemic stroke who had high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR). Few studies have focused specifically on clopidogrel HTPR. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between clopidogrel HTPR and recurrent ischemic events in a population of...

Low Morbidity after Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass Operation. The Danish Extracranial-Intracranial Bypass Study: A Nationwide Survey
Conclusions: The perioperative stroke rate in EC-IC bypass operation, performed at a highly experienced centre, was low. During long-term follow-up, no ipsilateral stroke occurred. Consequently, EC-IC-bypass should still be considered for selected patients with SACAO, if operation can be carried out in experienced centres with low perioperative morbidity.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;45:252 –257

Cross-cultural adaptation of the stroke self-efficacy questionnaire - Denmark (SSEQ-DK).
Conclusion The translation and cultural adaptation of the SSEQ to SSEQ-DK appears to be successful, with good face validity and internal consistency along with a high level of relevance and comprehensibility. Further assessment of the inter- and intra-reliability of SSEQ-DK is required before it can be recommended in clinical use. PMID: 29726803 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Serotonin Transporter Gene Polymorphisms and Risk of Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion: The presence of the high expression SERT genotype (LALA) may be associated with a lower risk of ischemic stroke/TIA. This is, to our knowledge, the first study examining the SERT gene polymorphisms and the risk of stroke. The present results raise interesting considerations for future personalized medicine potential, and we argue that further larger-scale studies with sufficient power to study subgroups according to stroke etiology and stroke-onset age are needed.Cerebrovasc Dis 2018;45:187 –192
