Prevalence and risk factors of urinary incontinence for post‐stroke inpatients in Southern China
ConclusionsThe prevalence of UI among post‐stroke inpatients is high. Stroke inpatients looked after by health care assistant, hemorrhagic stroke, mixed stroke, parietal lobe lesion, chronic cough, aphasia, and post‐stroke depression were high‐risk groups for UI. These patients should be targeted when planning intervention programs. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Clinico-radiological predictors of vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) in patients with stroke: A prospective observational study
Conclusion: Post-stroke cognitive impairment is frequent and is associated with poor functional outcome. Predictors like lower educational status, strategic site lesion, greater severity of age related white matter changes and baseline stroke severity independently contributed to the risk of developing VCI in stroke patients.Highlights:

What predicts a poor outcome in older stroke survivors? A systematic review of the literature.
Conclusions: The current evidence is insufficient for the development of a clinical prediction tool that is better than physicians' informal predictions. Future research should focus on the selection of optimal screening instruments in multiple domains of functioning, including the timing of assessment. We suggest developing prediction tools stratified by more homogeneous, clinically distinguished stroke subtypes. Implications for Rehabilitation A reliable prognosis soon after a stroke is highly relevant to patients who ultimately have a poor outcome, because it enables early planning of care tailored to their needs. ...

Urinary incontinence after ischemic stroke: Clinical and urodynamic studies
ConclusionsIncontinent patients showed a worse functional outcome compared to continent patients. Post‐stroke incontinence may be associated with different urodynamic patterns, each of which may necessitate different treatment strategies. Urodynamic findings in patients with ischemic stroke vary depending upon timing of the study. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Usefulness and effectiveness of herbal medicines in stroke: Narrative review
ABSTRACT Stroke causes various disabilities, reducing the quality of life and motivation for life. It is also one of the major causes of death in the aging population. Therefore, prevention and treatment are crucial. In conventional medicine, thrombolysis and various surgical techniques have been developed and used to treat stroke, but, despite the advancements and benefits, many patients still experience various disabilities. In East Asian countries, herbal prescriptions have been widely used for the treatment and prevention of stroke. Recently, the efficacy of herbal complexes as an adjunct to conventional treatment has ...

Management Protocols and Encountered Complications among Stroke Patients Admitted to Stroke Unit of Jimma University Medical Center, Southwest Ethiopia: Prospective Observational study
ConclusionBoth neurologic and medical complications were common in majority of stroke patients. But the management protocol for stroke patients was sub-optimal and lagging behind the recommended guidelines due to lack of skilled personnel, appropriate treatment and diagnostic agents. The clinical team involved in the care of stroke patients should make preparations to take preventive measures that will save a lot of lives.

Demographic Characteristics and Prognostic Factors in Acute Ischemic Stroke in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Nepal (P1.073)
Conclusions: The factors that are independently associated with functional status at one month after acute ischemic stroke are the age of the patient at the time of stroke and the baseline neurological status as measured by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score. Study Supported by: Not applicableDisclosure: Dr. Gajurel has nothing to disclose. Dr. Oli has nothing to disclose.

A review of post-stroke urinary incontinence.
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke is a debilitating disease which causes urinary incontinence in many patients. As a result, patients have increased rates of hospitalization and disability compared to post-stroke patients without urinary incontinence. The history and physical exam are key in diagnosing the type of urinary incontinence with urodynamic studies being an adjunctive study. Non-pharmacologic treatment, such as behavioral therapy, and pharmacologic agents including antimuscarinics and beta adrenergic medications, are not well studied in the post-stroke patient. Urinary incontinence in stroke patients needs to be further studie...

Stroke survivors ’ and carers’ experiences of a systematic voiding programme to treat urinary incontinence after stroke
ConclusionsThe effectiveness of a systematic voiding programme may partly lie in its educational component, challenging patients’ and carers’ assumptions that post‐stroke incontinence is inevitable. Individual adaptation of the programme, and the ability to incorporate it alongside other aspects of care, are likely to be key factors influencing implementation. Relevance to clinical practiceUrinary incontinence is common after stroke. In order to maximise benefits from a systematic voiding programme, nurses should support stroke survivors to overturn erroneous beliefs, to participate in tailoring of the programme, and...

Current Incidence and Risk Factors of Fecal Incontinence After Acute Stroke Affecting Functionally Independent People
Conclusions: At present, the incidence of FI in acute stroke patients without previous functional dependency is lower than expected, with an association of a more severe and hemorrhagic stroke. Due to its impact on the quality of life, it is necessary to deepen the knowledge of the underlying mechanisms to address therapeutic strategies.

Post‐stroke urinary incontinence
ConclusionCurrent evidence supports a thorough assessment to categorise the type and severity of post‐stroke urinary incontinence. An individually tailored, structured management strategy to promote continence should be employed. This has been associated with better stroke outcomes and should be the aim of all stroke health professionals.

Prevalence and associated factors of anger post stroke: a systematic review.
CONCLUSION: There is a high prevalence of anger post stroke. Psychiatric factors have been associated to it, while other associations are less conclusive. To improve anger knowledge and management, it would be necessary to improve its definition and assessment. PMID: 26005071 [PubMed - in process]

Urological disturbance and its neuroanatomical correlate in patients with chronic brainstem stroke
ConclusionsThe present study identified a relationship between chronic pontine stroke and detrusor underactivity. Thus, detrusor underactivity might be associated with lesions localized to central portions of the bilateral pons. The prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms was also revealed to be high among patients with chronic brainstem stroke. Neurourol. Urodynam. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
