Cost-effectiveness of percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure as secondary stroke prevention.
CONCLUSIONS: Considering the UK healthcare system perspective, percutaneous PFO closure in cryptogenic ischemic stroke patients is a cost-effective stroke prevention strategy compared to medical therapy alone. Its cost-effectiveness was driven by substantial reduction in recurrent strokes and patients' improved health-related quality-of-life.

Contemporary prevalence of carotid stenosis in patients presenting with ischaemic stroke.

Acupuncture treatment and the risk of urinary tract infection in stroke patients: a nationwide matched cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study, we raised the possibility that acupuncture treatment may be associated with a reduced risk of UTI among stroke patients. However, the protective effect associated with acupuncture treatment requires further validation using randomized clinical trials.

Rehabilitation of patients after transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke: pilot feasibility randomised trial of a home-based prevention programme.
CONCLUSION: Findings indicate that implementation of this novel cardiac rehabilitation programme, and of a trial to evaluate its effectiveness, is feasible, with potential for clinically important benefits and improved secondary prevention after TIA or 'minor' stroke.

Consumption of flavonoid-rich fruits, flavonoids from fruits, and stroke risk: a prospective cohort study.
Abstract
We sought to examine the prospective associations of specific fruit consumption, in particular flavonoid-rich fruit (FRF) consumption, with the risk of stroke and subtypes of stroke in a Japanese population. A study followed a total of 39,843 men and 47,334 women aged 44-76 years, and free of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer at baseline since 1995 and 1998 to the end of 2009 and 2012, respectively. Data on total and specific FRF consumption for each participant were obtained using a self-administrated food frequency questionnaire. The hazard ratios (HRs) of stroke in relation to total and spec...

Milk intake and incident stroke and coronary heart disease in populations of European descent: A Mendelian Randomization study
Br J Nutr. 2021 Oct 21:1-25. doi: 10.1017/S0007114521004244. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHigher milk intake has been associated with a lower stroke risk, but not with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Residual confounding or reverse causation cannot be excluded. Therefore, we estimated the causal association of milk consumption with stroke and CHD risk through instrumental variable (IV) and gene-outcome analyses. IV analysis included 29,328 participants (4,611 stroke; 9,828 CHD) of the EPIC-CVD (8 European countries) and EPIC-NL case-cohort studies. rs4988235, a lactase persistence (LP) single nucleotide polymorphism...

Incidence of Stroke in People With Diabetes Compared to Those Without
Diabetes: A Systematic Review
Conclusion The considerable differences between results can partly be
explained by differences in study designs, statistical methods, definitions of
stroke, and methods used to identify patients with diabetes. The lack of
evidence arising from these differences ought to be rectified by new
studies. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents | Abstract | open access Full text

A framework to accelerate simulation studies of hyperacute stroke systems
Publication date: Available online 21 September 2017 Source:Operations Research for Health Care Author(s): Thomas Monks, Durk-Jouke van der Zee, Maarten Lahr, Michael Allen, Kerry Pearn, Martin A. James, Erik Buskens, Gert-Jan Luijckx Stroke care has been identified as an area where operations research has great potential. In recent years there has been a small but sustained stream of discrete-event simulation case studies in modelling hyperacute stroke systems. The nature of such case studies has led to a fragmented knowledge base and high entry cost to stroke modelling research. Two common issues have faced researcher...

A retrospective study to assess resource utilization and costs in patients with post-stroke spasticity in the United Kingdom.
CONCLUSION: Costs after stroke for patients developing PSS are twice as high compared to patients who do not develop it, with the major driver being the number of hospital admissions. This highlights the need for better recording and closer management of PSS.

Brief group-based acceptance and commitment therapy for stroke survivors.
CONCLUSIONS: The results correspond with previous studies of group-based ACT with other long-term conditions. The findings from this current study suggest group-based ACT may have promising utility and could offer a suitable low-intensity psychological intervention for stroke survivors. However, further large-scale research is required.
PRACTITIONER POINTS: Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), delivered didactically to groups of stroke survivors, proved feasible and acceptable. ACT had benefits, relative to treatment as usual, for depression, health status, and hope. Several secondary outcome variables did not sho...

What follow-up interventions, programmes and pathways exist for minor stroke survivors after discharge from the acute setting? A scoping review
Conclusion
There is an increasing volume of research exploring how best to provide follow-up care to people after minor stroke. Personalised, holistic and theory-informed interdisciplinary follow-up is needed that balances education and support needs with adjustment to life after stroke.
