Real-world, feasibility study to investigate the use of a multidisciplinary app (Pulsara) to improve prehospital communication and timelines for acute stroke/STEMI care
Conclusions In this Australian-first study, uptake of the digital communication app was strong, patient-centred care timelines improved, although door-to-treatment times remained similar.

Reflection on Stroke Deaths and end ‐of‐life stroke care
ConclusionIn this cohort, palliative care referral and EOLCP were commenced in less than 50% of patients, highlighting significant variations in clinical care. These data support the need to promote awareness of ACP, particularly in patients with prior stroke or significant co‐morbidities. This may help reduce potentially futile invasive investigations and treatment.

A pilot study: Can the UFOV assessment be used as a repeated measure to determine timing of on ‐road assessment in stroke?
ConclusionImprovements in scores at one month intervals over three months are due to improvements in abilities assessed by the UFOV as no practice effect was found to influence scores. UFOV scores performed at monthly intervals post‐stroke can be used to guide the timing of an occupational therapy on‐road assessment, with an increased likelihood of passing, as recovery occurs. This repeated use of the UFOV assessment can assist referral practices that best utilise driving rehabilitation programmes. Larger studies need to be conducted to confirm these results.

The effectiveness of home-based therapy on functional outcome, self-efficacy and anxiety among discharged stroke survivors
This study will provide the information on the effectiveness of HBT in comparison to UP among stroke population who are discharged from rehabilitation. Findings from the study will enable rehabilitation professionals to design effective discharge care plan for stroke survivors in combating functional decline when no longer receiving hospital-based therapy. Trial registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, ACTRN12619001182189 (last updated 22/11/2019).

Out of sight, out of mind: long-term outcomes for people discharged home, to inpatient rehabilitation and to residential aged care after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Several long-term outcomes differed significantly for patients discharged to different settings after stroke. Patients discharged to IRFs reported some better outcomes than people discharge directly home despite having markers of more severe stroke. Implications for rehabilitation People with mild strokes are usually discharged directly home, people with moderate severity strokes to inpatient rehabilitation, and people with very severe strokes are usually discharged to residential aged care facilities. People discharged to inpatient rehabilitation reported fewer problems with mobility and had a reduced risk of...

Effectiveness of autogenic relaxation training in addition to usual physiotherapy on emotional state and functional independence of stroke survivors
Discussion: The expected main study outcome is an enhanced evidence-based physiotherapy program that may be used by physiotherapists in the rehabilitation of stroke patients with emotional disturbances. Trial registration: Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry, ACTRN12619001664134 (last updated on 28/11/2019).

Stroke survivors' perspectives on recovering in rural and remote Australia: A systematic mixed studies review
CONCLUSION: Stroke survivors recovering in rural and remote locations want to live their life by doing what matters to them, despite the challenges they face. They want support in ways that work for them in their environment. Further research is required to tailor support for stroke survivors that is specific to their life in rural and remote locations.PMID:34918349 | DOI:10.1111/1440-1630.12779

The Mobile Stroke Unit Nurse: An International Exploration of Their Scope of Practice, Education, and Training
CONCLUSION: We lack information on how many MSUs employ nurses, and the nurses' scope of practice, training, and expertise. Expert stroke nurse practitioners can safely perform many of the tasks undertaken by the onboard neurologist, making a nurse-led telemedicine model an effective and potentially cost-effective model that should be considered for all MSUs.
