Impact of atrial fibrillation on in-hospital mortality of ischemic stroke patients and identification of promoting factors of atrial thrombi – Results from the German nationwide inpatient sample and a single-center retrospective cohort
Ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a well-recognized risk factor for ischemic stroke. We aimed to investigate the impact of AF on in-hospital mortality of ischemic stroke patients and to identify parameters associated with intra-cardiac thrombogenic material. Patients were selected by screening the nationwide sample for ischemic stroke by ICD-Code (I63), stratified for AF. In this cohort, the association between in-hospital deaths and AF was investigated. In a second study, we performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent transesophageal echoc...

Long-Term Outcomes in Patients with Stroke after in-Hospital Treatment-Study Protocol of the Prospective Stroke Cohort Augsburg (SCHANA Study).
CONCLUSION: The SCHANA study will generate comprehensive data on the long-term course of the disease. In addition to the main outcomes, recurrent events and survival, patient-oriented outcomes such as health-related quality of life and depression are the focus of the study.

Structures of endovascular recanalization in Germany : Cross-sectional survey of certified stroke units 2016-2018.
Abstract In this cross-sectional study data from 299 certified stroke units (SU) in Germany were analyzed from January 2016 to December 2018 and included comprehensive stroke centers (CSC 34%), local SU (62%), and telemedical SU (4%). In a total of 2487 SU monitor beds, 251,539 cases of stroke treatment were documented. The number of monitor beds (10.8 vs. 7.2) and stroke cases per year (1143 vs. 708) were significantly higher in CSC than in local SU. A total of 9251 endovascular recanalization (ER) procedures were performed annually by 475 interventionalists. The overall rate of ER was 3.7% of all stroke cases,...

Nationwide treatment reality of patients with acute ischemic stroke in Germany : Update of the regionalized analysis on use of recanalization treatment procedures and stroke complex treatment.
CONCLUSION: Hospitalized healthcare in Germany shows high treatment rates for both SU admission and acute recanalization treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke; however, there is further optimization potential in rural regions. PMID: 32894302 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sex Differences in Outcome After Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke are Explained by Confounding Factors
ConclusionWomen showed a  worse functional outcome after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in clinical practice; however, after adjustment for crucial confounders sex was not a predictor of outcome. The difference in outcome thus appears to result from differences in confounding factors such as age and prestroke funct ional status.

Risk models to predict late-onset seizures after stroke: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: The SeLECT model was the only model developed in line with proposed guidelines for appropriate model development. The model, which was externally validated in a very similar and homogeneous population, may need to be tested in a more racially/ethnic diverse and younger population; testing the SeLECT model, accounting for overall brain health is likely to improve the identification of high-risk patients for late post stroke seizures.PMID:34029995 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2021.108003

Access to stroke care in Europe: results of a vignette approach
ConclusionsWhile stroke related services are formally covered in almost all countries, considerable access problems exist in several countries. Future cross-country surveys of access to stroke care should collect quantitative data related to proportions of patients receiving particular services as well as qualitative data on access barriers.

IJERPH, Vol. 19, Pages 8455: Diabetes, Hypertension, Atrial Fibrillation and Subsequent Stroke-Shift towards Young Ages in Brunei Darussalam
eiko Becher Southeast Asia harbors a young population of more than 600 million people. Socioeconomic transition within the last decades, driven by globalization and rapid economic growth, has led to significant changes in lifestyle and nutrition in many countries of this region. Hence, an increase in the number of non-communicable diseases is seen in most populations of Southeast Asia. Brunei Darussalam is the smallest country in this region, with a population of around 400,000 inhabitants. Vast hydrocarbon resources have transformed Brunei into a wealthy industrialized country within the last few decades. We compared ...
