Prevalence and risk factors of stroke in a rural area of northern China: a 10-year comparative study
CONCLUSION: The current study suggests that the prevalence of stroke increased nearly by twofold in a population aged 65 years or older within the past 10 years. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and being male were the primary risk factors. In addition, these factors were more significantly associated with stroke in 2019 compared to 2010.PMID:34855152 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-021-02028-1

Impact of Pre-Stroke Dementia or Mild Cognitive Impairment on Stroke Outcome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Our meta-analysis shows an increased risk of mortality in stroke patients with a history of PSD and PSMCI. Proper clinical management and increased attention are therefore required for the prevention and management of stroke in patients with cognitive deficits.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord

Preclinical models of stroke in aged animals with or without comorbidities: role of neuroinflammation.
Abstract Age is the principal nonmodifiable risk factor for stroke. Over the past 10 years, suitable models for stroke in aged rats have been established. At genetic and cellular level there are significant differences in behavioral, cytological and genomics responses to injury in old animals as compared with the young ones. Behaviorally, the aged rats have the capacity to recover after cortical infarcts albeit to a lower extent than the younger counterparts. Similarly, the increased vulnerability of the aged brain to stroke, together with a decreased interhemisphere synchrony after stroke, assessed by different ...

Early case‐fatality rates in elderly stroke patients do not increase when age increases
ConclusionsVery early stroke case‐fatality rates increasing to the age of 75–85 years subsequently leveled off or even declined with increasing age. Advanced age per se should not be seen as a disadvantage in terms of surviving stroke in the very acute phase. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2013; ●●: ●●–●●.

Evaluation of driving confidence in post-stroke older drivers in South Australia.
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors who return to driving have no differences in their driving confidence to their aged-matched non-stroke driving peers. Timely recognition of lack of driving confidence might allow for appropriately targeted intervention strategies and prevent premature driving cessation.

Ageism in stroke rehabilitation studies
Conclusion: we have identified a clear difference in the mean age of those included in stroke rehabilitation studies compared with the international mean age of stroke. In addition, a quarter of trials excluded dysphasic patients which may indicate omission of more severe strokes. This means that the evidence base for stroke rehabilitation is deficient in terms of matching the characteristics of patients encountered in clinical practice, and a more representative sample of older people and those with significant disability must be included in future trials.

Prognostic factors for long‐term poor outcomes after acute ischemic stroke in very old age (>80 years) patients: Total cholesterol level might differently influence long‐term outcomes after acute ischemic stroke at ages above 80 years
ConclusionsThere were also some differences in related factors regarding occurrences of poor outcome between the two groups. In particular, the initial TC level might play a crucial role for the outcome after AIS in the very old population. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2014; ●●: ●●–●●.

How does age affect the care dependency risk one year after stroke? A study based on claims data from a German health insurance fund
Conclusions: Our results show that age has an effect on care dependency risk that cannot be explained by burden of disease. Thus, there must be other underlying age-dependent factors that account for the remaining age effects (e.g., social conditions). Further studies are needed to explore the causes of the strong age effects observed.

Are stroke survivors with delirium at higher risk of post‐stroke dementia? Current evidence and future directions
ConclusionsThere is a need for further studies to investigate the association of post‐stroke delirium and dementia using well‐defined cohorts of patients and controlling for factors such as pre‐stroke cognition, stroke severity and location and the presence of persistent delirium. Such studies will help understand the place of delirium identification and prevention in reducing the risk of dementia after stroke. © 2016 The Authors International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd

Comparing Variability, Severity, and Persistence of Depressive Symptoms as Predictors of Future Stroke Risk.
CONCLUSIONS: Capturing the dynamic nature of depression is relevant in assessing stroke risk. Fluctuating depressive symptoms may reflect a prodrome of reduced cerebrovascular integrity. PMID: 27866734 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

24 Stroke Risk Factors, Aetiology, and Outcomes in a Multi-ethnic Irish Stroke Population
ConclusionOur study demonstrates that NI stroke patients have a different risk factor and stroke sub-type profile compared to Irish patients.  NI patients are more likely to be young, hypertensive, male, and have higher rates of ICH. Cultural and linguistic barriers may adversely influence health seeking behaviour in this group. These findings underscore the need to identify the root causes of these ethnic differences so targeted prima ry prevention campaigns can be established.

225 Assessment of Well-being after Stroke
ConclusionThis study highlights significant concerns from patients following stroke with regard to their memory and mood. This emphasises the importance of formal assessment of mood and memory both during admission and on an ongoing basis post discharge. A significant proportion of patients required additional help at home with family members providing the majority of this support.
