YouTube as a Source of Information for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Stroke: A Quality, Reliability and Accuracy Analysis
Stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability among adults and affects more than 795000 people each year in the United States.1,2 Globally, 6.5 million stroke deaths occurred in 2013 and stroke was the 2nd most common cause of mortality worldwide.2,3 Usually, after a stroke, the damaged brain region and surrounding healthy cells try to repair the disrupted neural networks and to regulate the disrupted functions by creating new networks. However, the complete recovery of motor functions takes place in only 20% of patients, depending on the location of the damaged area, its size, and the general health of the patient.

Effect of Insurance Status on Outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Receiving Intra-Arterial Treatment: Results from the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program
Stroke continues to be a leading cause of death and disability in the United States. Rates of intra-arterial reperfusion treatments (IAT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are increasing, and these treatments are associated with more favorable outcomes. We sought to examine the effect of insurance status on outcomes for AIS patients receiving IAT within a multistate stroke registry.

Predictive Factors of Perioperative Stroke-Related Mortality Following Vascular Surgery: A Retrospective Analysis
Strokes are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. With 90% of strokes being attributed to modifiable risk factors, an opportunity arises to decrease the overall burden of strokes on the healthcare system.1 Perioperative stroke, defined as a stroke taking place during or within 30 days of a surgical procedure, is an uncommon, yet devastating outcome that is linked to significant morbidity and mortality.2 –6 Vascular surgical procedures carry a higher risk of perioperative stroke and stroke-related mortality, yet the independent risk factors contributing to this increased mortality have not been described.

Educational Intervention in the Emergency Department to Address Disparities in Stroke Knowledge
In the United States, Black individuals have higher stroke incidence and mortality when compared to white individuals and are also at risk of having lower stroke knowledge and awareness. With the need to implement focused interventions to decrease stroke disparities, the objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of an emergency department-based educational intervention aimed at increasing stroke awareness and preparedness among a disproportionately high-risk group.

Effects of virtual reality-based telerehabilitation for stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Stroke is a severe neurological disorder that occurs in nearly 800,000 people and kills more than 140,000 people per year in the United States.1 The cost of stroke is projected to rise to $231 billion by the year 2030.2 Moreover, stroke is the leading cause of serious long-term disability.1 These stroke survivors suffer from a variety of impairments, including motor, sensory, speech, cognition, and psychosocial aspects. Those impairments affect their independence to perform daily activities, and furtherly hamper their participation and quality of life.

Mechanisms of in-hospital acute ischemic stroke and their relevance to prognosis: A retrospective analysis
In-hospital stroke (IHS) refers to stroke that occurs during hospitalization in patients admitted for other diagnoses,1 of which ischemic stroke is the most common type, accounting for approximately 60% to 89%.2,3 IHS is common with approximately 35,000 to 75,000 patients having a stroke while hospitalized in the United States each year.4 The incidence of IHS tends to increase per year,5 resulting in a serious social burden. In-hospital ischemic strokes are widely distributed across various in-hospital departments.

Hospital Discharge and Readmissions Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic for California Acute Stroke Inpatients
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, with approximately 795,000 new strokes occurring annually, including acute ischemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).1 The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all levels of care for stroke patients, such as delays in initial presentation, reduction in acute therapies, limitations of in-patient resources, delays or lack of initiation of secondary stroke prevention therapy, and limitations in rehabilitation services after hospital discharge.

Association of serum uric acid with risk of stroke in US adults: A cross-sectional study from NHANES 1999 –2020
Stroke is the second-most global death cause, only after ischemic heart disease, and third-most contributor to disability1, making it a major therapeutic challenge. More than 100 million individuals worldwide experience stroke every year, of which 795,000 cases are in the United States.2 Therefore, improved preventive strategies are needed; particularly, strategies targeting the modifiable risk factors of stroke, such as hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia, may help prevent more than approximately 90% of stroke cases.

Body mass index and waist circumference as predictors of recurrent vascular events after a recent ischemic stroke
Obesity is an independent contributor to ischemic stroke incidence. A meta-analysis of 13 studies revealed that a 5 kg/m2 increase in body mass index (BMI) was associated with a 22% increased risk of ischemic stroke in European/North American/Australian cohorts and a 35% increased risk of ischemic stroke among the Asian populations.1 In a meta-analysis of 7 prospective studies, persons in the highest waist circumference (WC) category had a relative risk of 1.41 (95% CI, 1.21 ⁠–1.56) for ischemic stroke compared with persons in the lowest category.

How Patient Demographics, Imaging, and Beliefs Influence Tissue-Type Plasminogen Activator Use: A Survey of North American Neurologists Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Diagnostic certainty and likelihood of treatment with tissue-type plasminogen activator increase with additional clinical data, with the history being the most important factor for diagnostic and treatment decisions. Respondents had difficulty in interpreting the results of CT perfusion scans although they had little impact on treatment decisions. We did not identify treatment bias based on patient age, race, or sex.

Time Trends and Characteristics of Prevalent Dementia among Patients Hospitalized for Stroke in the United States
Little is known about how prevalent dementia rates among patients with stroke have evolved over the last decade or how this relationship varies by gender, race ethnicity, stroke type, or dementia type. We assessed time trends and demographic predictors of coexisting dementia in a large cohort of patients hospitalized for stroke.

Geographic Disparities in the Incidence of Stroke among Patients with Atrial Fibrillation in the United States
Aim: To determine whether regional variation in stroke incidence exists among individuals with AF. Methods: Using healthcare utilization claims from 2 large US databases, MarketScan (2007-2014) and Optum Clinformatics (2009-2015), and the 2010 US population as the standard, we estimated age-, sex-, race- (only in Optum) standardized stroke incidence rates by the 9 US census divisions. We also used Poisson regression to examine incidence rate ratios (IRR) of stroke and the probability of anticoagulation prescription fills across divisions.
