Different Cognitive and Functional Outcomes in Attenuated and Full Delirium Syndromes Among Recent Stroke Survivors
Very little is known about the outcomes of poststroke delirium in relation to its symptom spectrum. We investigated the 3-months cognitive and functional outcomes of attenuated (ADS) and full delirium syndromes in Nigerian survivors of first ever stroke.

African Rigorous Innovative Stroke Epidemiological Surveillance: Protocol for a Community-Based Mobile-Health Study
Despite projections of stroke being a leading cause of mortality in Africa, reliable estimates of stroke burden on the continent using rigorous methods are not available. We aimed to implement a mobile-Health community-based interactive Stroke Information and Surveillance System to sustainably measure stroke burden and improve stroke health literacy and outcomes in urban and rural sites in Nigeria. African Rigorous Innovative Stroke Epidemiological Surveillance (ARISES) is an observational cohort study, which will be conducted in urban (Ibadan North LGA Ward 3) and rural (Ibarapa Central LGA) sites with a combined base pop...

Differential associations between pre-diabetes, diabetes and stroke occurrence among West Africans
CONCLUSION: Pre-DM is strongly and independently associated with stroke in Africans. Improving glycemic control through screening, healthy lifestyle and pharmacotherapy at a population level may be strategic in reducing the rising burden of stroke in Africa.PMID:36194925 | DOI:10.1016/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2022.106805

Relationship Between Admission Serum Bilirubin and Severity of Acute Ischemic Stroke in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital (P5.239)
Conclusion; Patients with higher physiologic range of serum bilirubin had more severe stroke (higher NIHSS values), suggesting that higher bilirubin values at stroke onset might be a reflection of oxidative intensity.Disclosure: Dr. Ademiluyi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sanya has nothing to disclose. Dr. Wahab has nothing to disclose.

Prevalence of Recurrent Stroke among a Rehabilitation Cohort in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: Approximately 1 in 3 stroke survivors undergoing rehabilitation had experienced stroke recurrence. The finding of this study buttresses the urgent need to emphasize and aggressively pursue secondary stroke prevention. Further studies are, however, required to explore those potentially modifiable factors that are associated with recurrent stroke, and having more representative samples.

Exploring the experiences of rehabilitated stroke survivors and stakeholders with regard to returning to work in South- West Nigeria.
CONCLUSIONS: The study findings clearly depicted the many barriers experienced by stroke survivors and how these negatively impact their worker roles. Limited facilitatory factors exist to assist stroke survivors in regard to adapting to their worker roles. Promoting participation of stroke survivors in work emanating from government policies was deemed to be a necessary recommendation for the study. These policies were seen to be achievable if rehabilitation resources were improved. PMID: 28826202 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardiac Troponin T and creatine kinase MB fraction levels among patients with acute ischemic stroke in Nigeria
Conclusion: The mean values of serum cTnT and CK-MB were higher in acute ischaemic stroke patients compared to controls. Serum cardiac Troponin t level may be a significant biomarker of the severity of stroke.

Dominant modifiable risk factors for stroke in Ghana and Nigeria (SIREN): a case-control study
Publication date: Available online 26 February 2018 Source:The Lancet Global Health Author(s): Mayowa O Owolabi, Fred Sarfo, Rufus Akinyemi, Mulugeta Gebregziabher, Onoja Akpa, Albert Akpalu, Kolawole Wahab, Reginald Obiako, Lukman Owolabi, Bruce Ovbiagele Background Sub-Saharan Africa has the highest incidence, prevalence, and fatality from stroke globally. Yet, only little information about context-specific risk factors for prioritising interventions to reduce the stroke burden in sub-Saharan Africa is available. We aimed to identify and characterise the effect of the top modifiable risk factors for stroke in sub-Sahara...

Post-stroke depression: Prevalence, associated factors and impact on quality of life among outpatients in a Nigerian hospital
Conclusion: Depression was 20-fold prevalent in stroke survivors compared to controls with stable hypertension, and sevenfold the life-time prevalence reported among adult general population in Nigeria. Furthermore, increased health care bills per month, significant post-stroke disability and poorer QoL indicated survivors more likely to have depression. Findings in this study support the need to pay closer attention to psychosocial needs of stroke survivors to improve well-being. Future longitudinal study on psychosocial burden of stroke is warranted.

Impact of balance on functional independence after stroke: A cross-sectional study at rehabilitation settings in Nigeria.
CONCLUSION: The goal of attaining functional independence after stroke may depend to a significant extent on good balance function irrespective of the stroke survivor's age, sex and post-stroke duration. PMID: 29660950 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke Mortality And Its Predictors In Nigeria: Results Of A Hospital-Based Study (P2.120)
Conclusion: The 30-day case fatality rate among our stroke patients is high while the independent predictors of this outcome are severity of stroke on admission and presence of complications. Continuing health education of the public on stroke recognition and the need for early hospital presentation is necessary while optimal management of cases in a stroke care unit is advocated in order to improve outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Wahab has nothing to disclose.
