Depression in Stroke Survivors: Ten-Year Follow-Up. Determinants of the Natural Course of Depressive Symptoms in Stroke Survivors in the Netherlands: The SMART-Medea Study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and a major cause of disability, due to impairments in functioning, limitations in activities, and restrictions in societal participation.20 Although these consequences vary widely between stroke survivors, the most common consequences are physical impairments, communication disorders, cognitive and emotional problems, and mood disturbances.13,50 Every year 15 million people suffer from stroke,30 in the Netherlands, 40.000 patients have a stroke each year28 Most stroke patients survive the initial illness and the greatest health effect is usually caused by the long-term consequences.

Decision-Making on Referral to Primary Care Physiotherapy After Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation
Worldwide, stroke is a leading cause of death and disability.1 Although incidence rates are expected to increase over the next few decades, survival rates are expected to improve. Consequently, more stroke survivors will have to learn to live with the consequences. After acute stroke care or rehabilitation, returning home is one of the primary goals for stroke survivors.2 In the Netherlands, 65 % of stroke survivors return home immediately after acute hospital care.3 The remaining 35% continue inpatient rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center (RC) or geriatric rehabilitation center (GRC) before returning home.

Safety and Outcome of Endovascular Treatment for Minor Ischemic Stroke: Results From the Multicenter Clinical Registry of Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands
Goal: Insufficient data is available about safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with minor stroke symptoms because these patients were excluded from most randomized trials. We aimed to compare characteristics, functional outcome, and complications in patients with minor ischemic stroke National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤5 (NIHSS score ≤5) and moderate to severe ischemic stroke (NIHSS score ≥6) due to intracranial proximal artery occlusion of the anterior circulation who underwent EVT.

The Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke Questionnaire: Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Reliability, and Concurrent Validity in a Dutch Population
Unmet needs are common after stroke. We aimed to translate the 22-item Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke (LUNS) Questionnaire and validate it in a Dutch stroke population.

Variation in Organization of Transient Ischemic Attack Care in The Netherlands. A Nationwide Survey Study
Previous research has shown the importance of urgent initiation of antiplatelet therapy after transient ischemic attack (TIA) to reduce the risk of stroke. Many hospitals in the Netherlands have therefore implemented rapid pathways for assessment of patients with TIA. Dutch stroke guidelines lack clear directives for organization of TIA assessment and thus allow for variation.The aim of this study was to investigate variation in organization of TIA assessment in Dutch hospitals.
