Development of a participatory, tailored behaviour change intervention to increase active practice during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: This example of collaborative implementation research can be used and adapted by clinicians and researchers in other rehabilitation services. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Rehabilitation staff can be actively involved in designing behaviour change interventions. Behaviour change interventions should target local barriers to increase activity levels and practice completed by stroke inpatients. The process of co-designing behaviour change interventions has the potential to improve the uptake of a strategy such as ward-based practice books, by more precisely identifying local barriers and possible solutions. ...

Air retrieval for clot retrieval; time-metrics and outcomes of stroke patients from rural and remote regions air-transported for mechanical thrombectomy at a state stroke unit
ConclusionWith the availability of an efficient aeromedical retrieval service, LVO stroke patients in rural and remote regions can achieve excellent outcomes following transfer to a high volume thrombectomy unit, even if distances involved are very large.

Featured Review: Treating depression after stroke
Depression is common after stroke yet often is not detected or inadequately treated.Review authors from Australia, Canada, Taiwan and the UK asked, " Do pharmacological treatments, non ‐invasive brain stimulation, psychological treatments, or combination treatments reduce the proportion of people with depression or the extent of depressive symptoms after stroke? "The authors included trials that reported on the use of pharmacological, non ‐invasive brain stimulation, psychological, and combination therapy interventions to treat depression after stroke. Mean age of people included in the trials ranged from 54 to 78 year...

Spirituality and resilience among family  caregivers of survivors of stroke: A scoping review.
CONCLUSIONS: Spirituality and resilience following stroke are essential factors in caregiver adjustment following stroke. Further research with a focus on causality and the link between spirituality, resilience and adjustment in this population is needed. PMID: 32039873 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Population-based stroke surveillance using big data: state-wide epidemiological trends in admissions and mortality in New South Wales, Australia.
DISCUSSION: Improved prevention may have underpinned declining intracerebral haemorrhage rates while survival gains suggest that innovations in care are being successfully translated. Mortality in patients surviving the acute period is unchanged and may be increasing for subarachnoid haemorrhage warranting investment in post-discharge care and secondary prevention.

Stroke rehabilitation research translation in Australia: a survey of clinical trialists.
This study aims to investigate perceptions of Australian stroke clinical trialists' about implementation of their findings into practice, and what translation activities they embedded into trial protocols. MATERIALS AND METHOD: A descriptive cohort design and electronic survey was conducted. Three databases were searched to identify Australian stroke rehabilitation trials published between 2007 and 2017. Corresponding authors of the included trials were invited to complete an anonymous online survey about implementation of their trial intervention. RESULTS: Fifty-one trialists were invited to participate and 38 c...

A Cohort Study of Anticholinergic Medication Burden and Incident Dementia and Stroke in Older Adults
ConclusionsHigh anticholinergic burden in initially healthy older people was associated with increased risk of incident dementia and ischemic stroke. A vascular effect may underlie this association. These findings highlight the importance of minimizing anticholinergic exposure in healthy older people.

The Need for Structured Strategies to Improve Stroke Care in a Rural Telestroke Network in Northern New South Wales, Australia: An Observational Study
Conclusion: In our telestroke network, acute stroke timing metrics did not improve over time. There is the need for targeted education and training focusing on both stroke reperfusion competencies and the technical aspects of telestroke in areas with limited workforce and high turnover.

Network Mapping of Time to Antithrombotic Therapy Among Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Conclusion: The proportion of patients receiving antithrombotics within 48 h was higher than previously reported in Australia but remained lower than the standard achieved in North American hospitals. Our process map and network analysis show avenues to shorten the time to antithrombotic.

Risk Stratification Tool for Ischemic Stroke: A Risk Assessment Model Based on Traditional Risk Factors Combined With White Matter Lesions and Retinal Vascular Caliber
Conclusion: The risk assessment model of ischemic stroke combined with Fazekas grade of WML and CRAE is superior to the traditional risk factor and the single-index model. This model is helpful for risk stratification of high-risk stroke patients.

Telestroke Assessment With Perfusion CT Improves the Diagnostic Accuracy of Stroke vs. Mimic
Conclusions: In the telehealth setting, the absence of an ischaemic lesion on CTP adds to the diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing mimic from stroke, above that from clinical features.

Reflecting on experiences of care: an exploratory qualitative descriptive study of the perspectives of stroke survivors, families and staff
Conclusion Seeking patient, family and staff experiences of care can provide valuable insights into facilitating better patient, family and staff engagement for preparation for home-based rehabilitation for stroke survivors and their caregivers. Further research with a larger sample across diverse hospital settings would provide even greater insight into strategies to best address the reality of rehabilitation care and readiness of patients when returning home to the community.
