Dimensionality and item-difficulty hierarchy of the Fugl-Meyer assessment of the upper extremity among Japanese patients who have experienced stroke
Conclusions:This study provides evidence that the FMA-UE has multidimensionality and the 30-item FMA-UE is a valid instrument for measuring upper-extremity impairment after stroke.PMID:34414858 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.1965797

Associations Between Adherence to Evidence-Based, Stroke Quality Indicators and Outcomes of Acute Reperfusion Therapy
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated national marked and sustainable improvement in adherence to door-to-needle time, door-to-puncture time, and successful reperfusion from 2013 to 2017 in Japan in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Adhering to the key QIs substantially affected in-hospital outcomes, underlining the importance of monitoring the quality of care using evidence-based QIs and the nationwide Close The Gap-Stroke program.PMID:35971841 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.038483

Causes of ischemic stroke in young adults versus non-young adults: A multicenter hospital-based observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Certain embolic sources and uncommon causes may be etiologically important causes of ischemic stroke in young adults. However, the contribution of conventional vascular risk factors and lifestyle-related risk factors is not negligible with advancing age, even in young adults.PMID:35830430 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0268481

Accessibility to Tertiary Stroke Centers in Hokkaido, Japan: Use of Novel Metrics to Assess Acute Stroke Care Quality
Both the accessibility and availability of stroke specialists are major determinants of patient outcomes following acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The purpose of this study was to implement novel metrics to assess the accessibility of tertiary stroke centers as well as to evaluate regional disparities in stroke specialists.

Factors Influencing Sitting Ability During the Acute Post-Stroke Phase: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study in Japan
Stroke is the second leading cause of both death and disability worldwide.1 In Japan, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death2 and the second leading cause of being bedridden3 due to residual neurological and neuropsychological disorders. Long-term prognoses for stroke patients can be improved through acute stroke rehabilitation.4 Therefore, appropriate rehabilitation and mobilization at an early stage are necessary to improve functional prognoses after stroke.

Comparison of primary and secondary stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Results from the RAFFINE registry
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a predictor of severe stroke and early death in acute ischemic stroke patients.1 The prevalence of AF has increased as the Japanese population has aged.2 AF has been more common among patients with ischemic stroke than previously reported.3 In particular, AF patients with a history of stroke or TIA have had higher risks for stroke, hemorrhagic events, and death compared to those without.4,5 In these previous studies, most patients received warfarin for anticoagulation therapy.

Aneurysm location and clipping versus coiling for development of secondary normal-pressure hydrocephalus after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: Japanese Stroke DataBank.
CONCLUSIONS Patients with low-grade SAH caused by a ruptured MCA aneurysm had a low risk for the development of sNPH. In contrast, patients with high-grade SAH caused by a ruptured ACA aneurysm had a higher risk for sNPH. Endovascular coiling might confer a lower risk of developing sNPH than microsurgical clipping.

Relationship between Alcohol Intake and Stroke Severity in Japanese Patients: a Sex- and Subtype-Stratified Analysis
Stroke is a severe disease that causes disability in many patients, warranting the urgent development of treatment options.1-4 Previous studies have reported that the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS) linearly increases with increasing alcohol intake.5-12 Furthermore, moderate alcohol intake has been shown to lower the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), and a J-curve association has been observed between alcohol consumption and morbidity rate of IS.7-14 These reports were similar in that they considered alcohol intake as a risk factor for stroke development.
