Adult offspring and their socioeconomic resources for development and survival of stroke: A Swedish and Danish nationwide register-based study
CONCLUSIONS: Adult offspring socioeconomic resources are, independently of how we measure them and of individual socioeconomic characteristics, associated with development of stroke in old age in both Denmark and Sweden. The relationships between offspring socioeconomic resources and death after stroke are present especially after the acute phase and most pronounced for educational level as a measure of offspring socioeconomic resources.PMID:36732922 | DOI:10.1177/14034948231152352

It is important for those who provide healthcare to soldiers to provide proper advice on how to identify impending heat stroke prior to any exercises resulting in severe physical exertion.

Attitudes toward anticoagulant treatment among nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients at high risk of stroke and low risk of bleed
Conclusion: Results suggest that many AF patients who are at high risk of stroke but at low risk of bleed may not be receiving AC due to potentially inaccurate beliefs about risk. This study also found that AF patients place trust in physicians above other factors such as cost when making treatment decisions. Increased education of patients by physicians on the risks and benefits may be a simple strategy to improve outcomes.

Care Coordination for Community Transitions for Individuals Post-stroke Returning to Low-Resource Rural Communities
AbstractHigh rates of hospital readmissions have been shown within 12 months post-discharge from inpatient rehabilitation following stroke. Multiple studies coupled with our previous work indicate a need for care support for stroke survivors ’ transitions to the community. The Kentucky Care Coordination for Community Transitions (KC3T) program was developed to provide access to medical, social, and environmental services to support community transitions for individuals with neurological conditions and their caregivers living in Kentucky. This program assessment was conducted to determine the effectiveness of using a spec...

Burden in caregivers of long-term stroke survivors: prevalence and determinants at 6 months and 5 years after stroke
The demographic ageing of societies and decreasing early stroke fatality rates have resulted in an approximately 84% increase in the absolute number of stroke survivors in the past few decades [1]. Nowadays, around 33 million stroke patients live worldwide and a sizable proportion of them suffer from moderate or severe disability [1]. According to recent studies, significant functional limitations are noted in 40-45% of the survivors in the first months after a stroke [2,3] and in around 30% after 5 years [4,5].
