Influence of chronic kidney disease and haemodialysis on stroke outcome
CONCLUSION: Despite significant functional and neurological improvements following rehabilitation, stroke patients with underlying CKD had higher average duration of hospital stay, more recurrent hospitalisations and poorer survival outcomes than those without underlying CKD. This could be attributed to the complications associated with CKD rather than stroke. Multidisciplinary community rehabilitation may be an alternative to reduce recurrent hospitalisations and morbidity in this group of patients. PMID: 32241068 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Discriminant Analysis for predictor of falls in stroke patients by using the Berg Balance Scale.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that BBS score is a strong predictor of falls in stroke patients. As balance is closely related to the risk of falls in hospitalised stroke patients, BBS might be useful in the prediction of falls. PMID: 25678051 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The effect of body mass index on inpatient rehabilitation outcome after stroke in an East-Asian cohort: a prospective study
CONCLUSION: Findings from this study unequivocally support the benefits of acute inpatient stroke rehabilitation. Patients in the obese BMI range tended to normalise during rehabilitation. BMI, whether underweight, normal, or overweight was not correlated with discharge FIM.PMID:34717300 | DOI:10.11622/smedj.2021190

National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: comparison of the original versus a modified version for Singapore culture
CONCLUSION: There are cultural issues with several dysphasia objects in the original NIHSS as evidenced by high error rates, which were lowered with more culturally suitable alternatives. This study formed a basis to derive a more suitable NIHSS version for English-speaking subjects in Singapore.PMID:34600450 | DOI:10.11622/smedj.2021126

A comparative study of pulse pressure variation, stroke volume variation and central venous pressure in patients undergoing kidney transplantation
CONCLUSION: Under the conditions of our study, SVV and CVP exhibited similar performance in predicting fluid responsiveness and could inform fluid management during KT as compared with PPV.PMID:34911180 | DOI:10.11622/smedj.2021221
