Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts in-Hospital Mortality in Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage is one of the world's three most lethal and disabling diseases, which is the second most common kind of stroke and imposes enormous health, economic and social burdens.1-3 Although clinical examination and neuroimaging are available to assess the severity and progression of intracerebral hemorrhage, more reliable indicators are needed to predict the outcome.4,5 Due to the essential role of inflammatory factors in the development of intracerebral hemorrhage, it has attracted increasing attention as a peripheral biomarker for predicting early mortality in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage.

The Relationship Between Age Shock Index, and Severity of Stroke and In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Shock index (SI) has been reported to help us predict adverse prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, the prognostic value of age SI and age modified shock index (MSI) in acute ischemic stroke is unknown. In our study, we aimed to examine the association between the severity of the stroke and in-hospital mortality, age SI and age MSI in patients with AIS.

Predictors of Hospital Outcomes Among Patients with Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiological disease entity that was first described by Hinchey et al. in 1996.1 Although the pathophysiology of PRES is not completely understood, disturbances of both autonomic cerebral vasoregulation and endothelial function are believed to play major roles in the pathogenesis of this disease.2-5

Scoring System to Predict Hospital Outcome After Subarachnoid Hemorrhage –Incorporating Systemic Response: The CRIG Score
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) causes acute brain injury by deranging brain's microenvironment and has several systemic effects.1 Deleterious effects of acute brain injury after aSAH are manifested locally as early brain injury (EBI) and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI).1 Pathological events like EBI and DCI both contribute to morbidity and mortality associated with aSAH. These local physiological derangements are difficult to study in vivo in humans and hence, investigators often rely on serological biomarkers to predict EBI and DCI after aSAH.

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.

Association Between Toileting Independence and Higher Brain Functions in Post-Stroke Inpatients: A Cross-Sectional Study
Toileting disorders are among the most common disorders in post-stroke inpatients1. In addition, the toileting ability of post-stroke inpatients is a criterion for hospital discharge, and interventions to improve patient toileting independence are indispensable for in-hospital rehabilitation2.

Rate and Predictors of Acute Care Encounters in the First Month After Stroke
Hospital readmission has become an important quality metric, especially after the Affordable Care Act mandated a reduction in payments to hospitals with readmission rates higher than expected.1 The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) defines 30-day stroke readmission as a hospital-specific readmission for any cause, except for certain planned readmissions, within 30 days after the date of discharge of the index admission.2 This definition does not take in account patients who are readmitted to other hospitals.

Breaking Down Barriers: Easter Island's First Telestroke Thrombolysis Experience and Case Report
Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Chile, is remote, located in the Polynesian Triangle in Oceania. The closest continental point is Chile, 3,512 km east. It has a population of 7,750 inhabitants, who are Chilean citizens, and receives more than 60,000 tourists a year. For this entire population, there is a medium complexity hospital without a neurology specialist. In 2019, local professionals were trained in a Telestroke program with remot e clinical support conducted by neurologists located on mainland Chile.

Osuntokun Award Lecture 2021: Challenges of Measuring the Burden of Stroke in Africa
Over recent years non-communicable diseases have dramatically increased in low- and middle-income countries, including those of sub-Saharan Africa. With continuing high levels of infectious disease, these countries now face the double burden of disease. Stroke has emerged as a major cause of hospital admission, disability, and mortality for which the major modifiable risk factor is hypertension, which is often not diagnosed and, even if diagnosed, not treated and, even if treated, not controlled.

Prevalence and characteristics of hiv-associated stroke in a tertiary hospital setting in south africa
Antiretroviral treatment (ART) era HIV-associated stroke data from Sub-Saharan Africa is limited. We determined the prevalence of HIV in patients presenting with acute symptomatic stroke; and compared risk factors, clinical characteristics, and brain imaging with age-matched stroke patients without HIV.

Annual Direct Cost of Dysphagia Associated with Acute Ischemic Stroke in the United States
Dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke is frequent and increases the risk of pneumonia, insertion of feeding tube, hospital length-of-stay and rates of discharge to institutional care. However, the financial impact of dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke is not well understood.

Social distancing, stroke admissions and stroke mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic: a multicenter, longitudinal study
Objectives. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between social distancing, stroke admissions and stroke mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic, while accounting for the rate of COVID-19 admissions. Methods. We performed a longitudinal analysis of a multicenter, prospective, hospital-based registry of intensive care units from 19 hospitals from Brazil, comprising a 14-month period of the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated whether the daily rate of admissions (DRAstroke) and daily mortality rate for stroke were associated with the social distancing index (SDI), taking into account the daily rate of admissions for COVID-19 ...
