Cross-sectional survey of rehabilitation service availability for stroke and hip fracture in Australian public hospitals
CONCLUSION: There was reduced availability of rehabilitation services and health disciplines in rural/regional settings. A follow-up study is underway investigating relationships between reduced outpatient service availability and inpatient length of stay in rural/regional versus metropolitan hospitals.PMID:34757624 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.12803

Patients' experiences of a Communication Enhanced Environment model on an acute/slow stream rehabilitation and a rehabilitation ward following stroke: a qualitative description approach
CONCLUSIONS: While findings are encouraging, further exploration of the feasibility of a CEE model in this complex setting is indicated to inform the development of this intervention.Implications for rehabilitationPatient access to a CEE model is challenging in a hospital setting.Patients who were able to access elements of the CEE model described positive opportunities for engagement in language activities.Patients' access to the CEE model was influenced by patient factors, staff factors, hospital features as well as staff time pressures.PMID:34780322 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2021.1965226

Real-World Cost-Effectiveness of Late Time Window Thrombectomy for Patients With Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Treating patients not meeting the DAWN or DEFUSE 3 clinical trial criteria in the extended time window for EVT was associated with less gain in QALYs and higher cost. Caution should be exercised when considering this procedure for patients not satisfying the trial perfusion imaging criteria for EVT.

A systematic review of cost-effectiveness analyses on endovascular thrombectomy in ischemic stroke patients
ConclusionsOur study reveals significant heterogeneity in previously published thrombectomy CEAs, highlighting need for better standardization in future CEAs.Key Points• All included studies concluded thrombectomy to be cost-effective, from both long- and short-term perspectives.• Only 5 out of 22 studies undertook a societal perspective, and only 1 accounted for indirect costs.• The range of value for mRS 0–2 was 0.71–0.85 quality-adjusted life year (QALY) and 0.21–0.40 QALY for mRS 3–5.

Vagus nerve magnetic modulation facilitates dysphagia recovery in patients with stroke involving the brainstem - A proof of concept study
Conclusions Our results encourage the application of VNM by using rTMS for improving swallowing function after SBS. The immediate therapeutic effects suggest that this novel intervention can be an effective complementary therapy to traditional oropharyngeal rehabilitation.

Eggs health: Eating a dozen a week 'does NOT raise stroke or heart attack risk'
EATING a dozen eggs a week does not raise the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke, according to a study. Australian researchers found eating up to 12 eggs per week for a year did not increase cardiovascular risk factors in people with pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

Application of Strategic Transport Model and Google Maps to Develop Better Clot Retrieval Stroke Service
Discussion: The results from strategic transport model are similar to those from Google Maps. In this paper we illustrate how this method can be applied in designing and forecast stroke service model in different cities in Australia and around the world.

Rural versus metropolitan comparison of processes of care in the community-based management of TIA and minor stroke in Australia (an analysis from the INSIST study)
CONCLUSIONS: Although TIAMS prognosis in rural settings where solely GP care is common is very good, the processes of care in such areas are inferior to metropolitan. This suggests there is further scope to support rural GPs to optimise care of TIAMS patients.PMID:36382851 | DOI:10.1111/ajr.12950
