Early and Delayed Fatality of Stroke in Kolkata, India: Results From a 7-Year Longitudinal Population-Based Study
There is no previously published well-designed study on long-term outcome of stroke from India. The present study has examined the case fatality rate and survival pattern in patients with stroke in a stratified, randomly selected sample from a large Indian metropolitan area. This prospective study was conducted over 7 years (March 2003 to February 2010) using a validated questionnaire administered by a field team and headed by a neurologist. A cross-sectional house-to-house survey was repeated twice yearly. A verbal autopsy was performed to assess cases of death. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied for survival analysis. A...

Disparities in Stroke Type and Vascular Risk Factors Between 2 Hispanic Populations in Miami and Mexico City
Conclusions: We found significant differences in the frequency of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and atrial fibrillation in Miami Hispanics and Mexican stroke patients, highlighting the heterogeneity of the Hispanic ethnic group. Future studies are needed to clarify the relative contribution of genetic and environmental disparities amongst Mexican and Caribbean Hispanic stroke patients.

Prevalence and Risk Factors for Stroke in an Adult Population in a Rural Community in the Niger Delta, South-South Nigeria
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of stroke in a rural population in the Niger Delta region in south–south Nigeria and to describe known risk factors for stroke among them. A door-to-door stroke prevalence study was conducted in 2008 among randomly selected adults of 18 years or older in rural Kegbara-Dere community in Rivers State, south–south Nigeria. We administered a modified screening tool by the World Health Organization, a stroke-specific questionnaire, and conducted a physical/neurological examination (on persons screening positive) in 3 stages of assessments. The crude prevalence of stroke was 8.51...

Effect of Middle Cerebral Artery Territory Ischemic Stroke on QT Interval
In this study, we investigated whether QT interval dynamics is different in patients with right and left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory stroke.Method: Electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals were compared between baseline (retrieved retrospectively from medical records) and admission (acquired at the acute hospital admission) in 33 patients (65 ± 9.5 years) with right or left MCA territory ischemic stroke. Head computed tomography (CT), cardiac ultrasound, and cardiac CT scans were undertaken.Results: Stroke was located in the right MCA territory in 21 (64%) and in the left MCA territory in 12 (36%) patients. Patients w...

Over-the-counter and Prescription Sleep Medication and Incident Stroke: The REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke Study
Conclusions: Over-the-counter sleep medication use may independently increase the risk of stroke beyond other risk factors in middle-aged to older individuals with no history of stroke.

The Diagnostic Value of N-terminal Pro-brain Natriuretic Peptide in Differentiating Cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: NT-proBNP has an acceptable diagnostic value in distinguishing CE ischemic stroke from other subtypes. It can be used to differentiate the stroke subtype and facilitate the treatment process in these patients.

Presentation and Outcomes of “Wake-Up Strokes” in a Large Randomized Stroke Trial: Analysis of Data from the International Stroke Trial
Conclusions: WUS patients comprise one quarter to one third of ischemic stroke patients. Despite their more benign presentations, they deteriorate to outcome rates similar to SWA. Although they are typically excluded from time-dependent acute interventions, patients with WUS may benefit from acute intervention to prevent this worsening natural history.

Hospital Discharges and Mortality Registries: 2 Complementary Databases for the Epidemiological Surveillance of Stroke
Conclusions: Considering both the Minimum Basic Data Set and the MR as data sources appears advisable to build a stroke registry to evaluate the incidence and to perform epidemiological surveillance of stroke.

Functional Recovery at 3 Months in Stroke Patients Not Receiving Thrombolytic Therapy: The Comparison Between Patients Arriving Earlier and Later Than 4.5 Hours
Conclusion: Stroke patients arriving at the hospital within and after 4.5 hours of the onset who did not receive the rtPA did not have significant differences in the functional outcomes and quality of life at 3 months. However, the eligibility for rtPA is not known before arriving at the hospital so that the necessity of seeking medical treatment as quickly as possible is still warranted. Increasing effective public awareness regarding stroke risk factors and care should be implemented.

Incidence and Cost of Stroke and Hemorrhage in Patients Diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation in France
Conclusions: The incidence and cost of hospitalization for hemorrhage should be considered in the global burden of AF. These data should be useful for pharmacoeconomic evaluation of new oral anticoagulant medications. Such real-world studies may be relevant for monitoring mid- to long-term morbidity and mortality in the AF population.
