Prospectively collected lifestyle and health information as risk factors for white matter hyperintensity volume in stroke patients
AbstractMost studies of white matter hyperintensity volume (WMHV) in stroke patients lack reliable information on antecedent exposure to vascular risk factors. By leveraging prospective cohort data, we explored associations between lifestyle and health factors assessed 1  year prior to stroke and WMHV in individuals who experienced an ischemic stroke. This analysis was nested within two large prospective studies of initially healthy individuals. Information on lifestyle factors and health conditions was collected prior to the stroke event through annual or biannual questionnaires. For individuals who experienced their fir...

Frequency and Timing of Endovascular Therapy in Acute Stroke Patients: A Population-Based Analysis Using the Bremen Stroke Register
Conclusions: Approximately 12% of all ischemic stroke patients received ET, and the incidence of ET was 17 (95% CI: 14 –21) cases per 100,000 person-years. However, despite being a high-volume center, the absolute number of stroke procedures per month was low, and many patients were treated during nonwork hours.Neuroepidemiology

Hemoglobin concentration and the incidence of stroke in the general Japanese population: the Jichi Medical School Cohort Study.
CONCLUSIONS: A low hemoglobin concentration was associated with an increased risk of stroke, which was strongly influenced by the incidence of SAH. PMID: 33162422 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Consultations Decline for Stroke, Transient Ischemic Attack, and Myocardial Infarction during the COVID-19 Pandemic in Germany
Conclusion: Although the decline in the number of patients presenting with stroke, TIA, and MI was not as noticeable in the ambulatory sector as it was in the area of emergency hospital-based care, our data indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic affected all sectors within the medical care system.Neuroepidemiology

Temporal Trends in the Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults: Dijon Stroke Registry
Conclusions: The incidence of ischemic stroke in young adults increased during the early 2000s and remained stable thereafter. These results highlight the priority need for dedicated prevention strategies for the young to reduce the burden of stroke.Neuroepidemiology

Impact of Perceived Social Support on the Association Between Anger Expression and the Risk of Stroke: The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study (CIRCS)
CONCLUSIONS: We found an increased risk of stroke associated with anger expression among the participants with low PSS, but not among those with high PSS. Our results suggest that PSS might mitigate the risk of stroke associated with anger.PMID:34176854 | DOI:10.2188/jea.JE20200607

Association between annual household income and adverse outcomes in patients who had ischaemic stroke
Conclusions Low annual household income per capita was significantly associated with increased risks of adverse clinical outcomes at 3 months after ischaemic stroke, independently of established risk factors. Further studies from other samples are needed to replicate our findings due to a reason for excluding some patients who had a severe stroke in this study. Trial registration number ClinicalTrials.gov (http://wwwclinicaltrialsgov) Registry (NCT01840072).

Age gap between stroke patients included in randomized clinical trials of acute revascularization therapy and those in population-based studies. A review
Background: The ongoing aging population in high-income countries is responsible for a dramatic rise in the number of elderly stroke patients in whom many questions remain regarding the use of acute revascularization therapy. This review aimed to compare stroke patients from population-based studies to those included in RCTs in terms of age. Summary: Population-based incidence studies conducted in high income that complied with the defined quality criteria were reviewed (period 1985-2020). RCTs of acute ischemic stroke therapy including intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with either alteplase or tenecteplase and mechanical th...
