The Impact of Comprehensive Stroke Care Capacity on the Hospital Volume of Stroke Interventions: A Nationwide Study in Japan: J-ASPECT Study
We examined the effect of hospital characteristics, having a t-PA protocol, and the number of fulfilled CSC items (total CSC score) on the hospital volume of t-PA infusion, removal of intracerebral hemorrhage, and coiling and clipping of intracranial aneurysms performed in 2009.Results: Approximately 55% of hospitals responded to the survey. Facilities with t-PA protocols (85%) had a significantly higher likelihood of having 23 CSC items, for example, personnel (eg, neurosurgeons: 97.3% versus 66.1% and neurologists: 51.3% versus 27.7%), diagnostic (eg, digital cerebral angiography: 87.4% versus 43.2%), specific expertise...

Quality of Life after Lacunar Stroke: The Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes Study
Background: We sought to describe the course and predictors of quality of life (QOL) after lacunar stroke. We hypothesized that there is a decline in QOL after recovery from lacunar stroke.Methods: The Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes is a clinical trial in lacunar stroke patients with annual assessments of QOL with the stroke-specific QOL score. The overall score was used and analyzed as a continuous variable (range 0-5). We fit linear mixed models to assess the trend in QOL over time, assuming linearity of time, and adjusted for demographics, medical risk factors, cognitive factors, and functional status...

Significant Stroke Knowledge Deficiencies in Community Physician Improved with Stroke 120
Background and Purpose: In the existing model of community health service in China, community general practitioners play important roles in health promotion as well as prehospital stroke recognition and management. We recently engineered Stroke 120 based on FAST for China. This investigation aimed to investigate its acceptance in community physicians and promote their stroke related knowledge. Methods: We conducted an stroke education session to community physicians or family doctors (total of 435 participants), teaching both FAST and Stroke 120.

Impact of a Pre-Discharge Education Session on Stroke Knowledge: a Randomized Trial
Stroke knowledge, awareness of risk factors and stroke warning symptoms is very poor among stroke survivors. We investigated whether a pre-discharge education intervention in the stroke unit could improve stroke knowledge in patients with TIA or minor stroke.

Educating Caregivers to Reduce Complications and Improve Outcomes of Stroke Patients (ECCOS) – A Cluster-Randomized Trial
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity.1,2 Post-stroke complications were found to be significant predictors of mortality and morbidity.3-9 Patients treated in organized stroke units had better results,10 partly attributed to prevention of complications.11 As India has a limited number of stroke units,12 most stroke patients are managed in general wards potentially leading to sub-optimal outcomes.13

Insurance Status and Outcome after Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Findings from Get With The Guidelines-Stroke
Backgound: Few studies have examined associations among insurance status, treatment, and outcomes in patients hospitalized for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods: Through retrospective analyses of the Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-Stroke database, a national prospective stroke registry, from April 2003 to April 2011, we identified 95,986 nontransferred subjects hospitalized with ICH. Insurance status was categorized as Private/Other, Medicaid, Medicare, or None/Not Documented (ND). Associations between insurance status and in-hospital outcomes and quality of care measures were analyzed using patient- and hospital-spec...

Early Cognitive Assessment Following Acute Stroke: Feasibility and Comparison between Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment
Objectives: Cognitive assessment is not performed routinely in the acute stroke setting. We investigated factors associated with cognitive impairment and the differences between the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores in patients with acute stroke. Methods: In this prospective study, 881 consecutive patients (median age, 73 years) with acute stroke were enrolled. Clinical characteristics, such as education, vascular risk factors, premorbid cognitive status using the Informant Questionnaire on Cognitive Decline in the Elderly (IQCODE), and stroke severity, were assessed.

Educational Intervention in the Emergency Department to Address Disparities in Stroke Knowledge
In the United States, Black individuals have higher stroke incidence and mortality when compared to white individuals and are also at risk of having lower stroke knowledge and awareness. With the need to implement focused interventions to decrease stroke disparities, the objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an emergency department-based educational intervention aimed at increasing stroke awareness and preparedness among a disproportionately high-risk group.

Can We Learn from Our Children About stroke? Effectiveness of a School-Based Educational Programme in Greece
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of chronic functional limitations.1 Without appropriate and timely care between the stroke symptom appearance and the treatment in acute stroke incidents, the ischemic brain ages 3.6 years for every hour of blood deprivation.2 Yet patients repeatedly arrive late to the hospital.3,4 The lack of public awareness about stroke symptoms has been reported in the literature as one of the main factors, causing this belated arrival to the hospital and hence the belated medical treatment.

Determinants of stroke mortality among west africans: findings from the siren study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in low-and-medium-income countries, but the pattern and determinants of stroke fatality are yet to be clearly understood among Africans. We assessed the determinants of stroke mortality among adults from 15 sites in Ghana and Nigeria in the Stroke Investigative Research and Educational Network (SIREN) study in West Africa.
