Interest Of A Hospital Database To Analyze The Cost For Acute Stroke: The Example Of Versailles Hospital
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of delay to manage stroke for patients transported by Mobile Intensive Care Units (MICU) in outcomes and early hospital costs. Cost of management and NHISS (National Institute of Health Stroke Score) score regression at patient discharge have been described for three different stroke management time groups.

A SMARTer approach to stroke care
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Time is critical when it comes to stroke, and early treatment is associated with better outcomes. According to the Screening with MRI for Accurate and Rapid stroke Treatment (SMART) study, small changes in quality improvement procedures enabled clinicians to use MRI scans to diagnose stroke patients before giving acute treatment, within 60 minutes of hospital arrival. MRI scans provide detailed images but take longer to complete than CT scans, which are commonly used in most centers.

Association of Hispanic ethnicity with acute ischemic stroke care processes and outcomes.
DISCUSSION: Hispanic AIS patients in this study were less likely to arrive at the hospital by ambulance, and experienced half the odds of a favorable outcome compared to others. Strategies to boost ambulance utilization among Hispanic AIS patients and identify contributors to this worrisome outcome disparity are needed.

Nonleisure-Time Physical Activity Guidance Following Minor Ischemic Stroke: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Adapt Phys Activ Q. 2021 Feb 25:1-19. doi: 10.1123/apaq.2020-0029. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this single-masked randomized clinical trial was to examine whether nonleisure-time physical activity guidance (NLTPAG) improves physical activity levels in patients after minor ischemic stroke. Patients who had been hospitalized for minor ischemic stroke in an acute care hospital (National Health Institute Stroke Scale ≤ 5) were randomized to either an NLTPAG group (n = 17) or a leisure-time physical activity guidance group (n = 16). NLTPAG focused on reducing sedentary behavior and increasing the frequency of...
