How does sex affect the care dependency risk one year after stroke? A study based on claims data from a German health insurance fund.
DISCUSSION: It may be assumed that women have a higher risk of becoming care-dependent after stroke than men because they are older and suffer more often from geriatric conditions such as urinary incontinence at onset of stroke. Preventive strategies should therefore focus on geriatric conditions in order to reduce the post-stroke care dependency risk for women. PMID: 28330419 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Development of a Poststroke Checklist to Standardize Follow-up Care for Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: The PSC was developed to be a brief and easy-to-use tool, intended to facilitate a standardized approach for health care providers to identify long-term problems in stroke survivors and to facilitate appropriate referrals for treatment.

Pseudobulbar affect after stroke: a narrative review.
CONCLUSION: PBA remains an under-treated condition with significant psychosocial burden on both effected stroke survivors and their families. Advances have been made in developing consensus-based clinical diagnostic criteria for PBA. Early identification and prompt initiation of therapeutic measures are required in these stroke patients. Further research is needed to develop better PBA diagnostic criteria and more cost-effective therapeutic treatment options. PMID: 30213256 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post-stroke lower urinary system dysfunction and its relation with functional and mental status: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSION: LUTD is a common problem in patients with stroke. LUTD is associated with poorer cognitive and functional status and the quality of life in these patients. We, therefore, suggest that bladder dysfunction should not be overlooked during rehabilitation of stroke patients. PMID: 30570391 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects on urinary outcome of patients and caregivers' burden of pelvic floor muscle exercises based on the health belief model done at home by post-stroke patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Given the results of the present study, it is recommended that in the management of post-stroke urinary incontinence, post-stroke patients should be encouraged to do PFME at home in line with the HBM, and they should be monitored periodically.

Differences in Outcome and Predictors Between Ischemic and Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The South London Stroke Register Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— ICH has poorer outcomes up to 5 years after stroke. The improvement of functional outcome up to 3 months was significantly greater with ICH. Identification of factors associated with poor outcome may be used for clinical predictions.

Incidence and Associations of Poststroke Epilepsy: The Prospective South London Stroke Register Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— PSE is common, with risk continuing to increase outside the acute phase. Young age, cortical location, larger lesions, and hemorrhagic lesions are independent predictors.

Association of Urinary Incontinence with Cognition, Transfers and Discharge Destination in Acute Stroke Inpatient Rehabilitation
Acute-stroke prognostic indicators remain controversial including relationship of urinary incontinence with outcomes in cognition, transfers, and discharge destination.

Factors associated with long ‐term mortality for stroke unit patients in Latvia
ConclusionAlcohol abuse as a pre ‐stroke risk factor, poststroke urinary incontinence as a neurological symptom, and dependence in grooming as a factor of disability were associated with earlier mortality in the first seven years after stroke.

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:

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.

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.

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]

Application of Machine Learning Techniques to Identify Data Reliability and Factors Affecting Outcome After Stroke Using Electronic Administrative Records
Conclusion: Electronic administrative records from this cohort produced reliable outcome prediction and identified clinically appropriate factors negatively impacting most outcome variables following hospital admission with stroke. This presents a means of future identification of modifiable factors associated with patient discharge destination. This may potentially aid in patient selection for certain interventions and aid in better patient and clinician education regarding expected discharge outcomes.
