Early outcomes of patients transferred with ruptured suprarenal aneurysm or dissection.
Conclusions Although the number of patients with rSRAD is low and those who are transferred alive are a self-selecting group, this study suggests that transfer of such patients to a specialist vascular centre is associated with acceptable mortality rates following emergency complex aortic repair.

Ticagrelor for Secondary Prevention of Atherothrombotic Events After Myocardial Infarction: An Evidence Review Group Perspective of a NICE Single Technology Appraisal
AbstractThe National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) invited AstraZeneca, the manufacturer of ticagrelor (Brilique®), to submit evidence on the clinical and cost effectiveness of ticagrelor 60 mg twice daily (BID) in combination with low-dose aspirin [acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)] compared with ASA only for secondary prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with a history of myocardial infarction (MI) and who are at increased risk of atherothrombotic events. Kleijnen Systematic R eviews Ltd (KSR), in collaboration with Maastricht University Medical Centre+, was commissioned as the evidence review ...

Rising to the Challenge: Stroke care received between April 2016 to March 2017 The Fourth SSNAP Annual Report
The report highlights the improvements made in stroke care in England, Wales and Northern Ireland over the past four years. Using real world quality improvement case studies, it outlines the different approaches taken by local teams to improve their stroke services across the patient pathway; what was the challenge faced? What was the solution? What impact did the QI project have on care processes? The report also offers practical tips and recommendations on how other clinical teams could adapt similar QI approaches to improve the care provided to their patients in the future.

Longitudinal cardiac changes in a SUGEN/Hypoxic Rat Model of Pulmonary Hypertension determined by Cardiac MRI
Conclusion: 5 weeks of SuHx resulted in RV dysfunction and RV hypertrophy. Although RV systolic pressure remained elevated throughout the 8 week study period, RV dysfunction and RV hypertrophy had improved demonstrating adaptive remodelling of the SuHx rat RV to the induced persistent PH.

Risk factors for falls among older Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in urban and regional communities.
CONCLUSION: Falls were experienced by one-quarter of study participants. Fall risk factors identified for older Aboriginal people appear to be similar to those identified in the general population. Understanding of fall risk factors may assist with the development of appropriate and effective community-led fall prevention programs.

Sight Impairment registration due to stroke —A small yet significant rise?
ConclusionsThese data suggest a small but statistically significant increase in the incidence of certifiable visual impairment due to stroke between 2008 and 2014. Figures are, however, considerably lower than estimated, perhaps suggesting that more should be done to address the visual needs of those who have suffered stroke.

130 Improving the implementation of anti-coagulation therapy in AF patients at risk of stroke in a primary care setting
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia of the heart and is of increasing prevalence1. There are strong implications of increased stroke risk in AF patients2. In particular, AF related stroke carries a near 50% risk of persisting disability and directly increases costs for treatment by over a third in comparison with non AF stroke patients3,4. As an estimated contributing cause of 15-20% of all strokes, the economic and societal impact of AF is of extreme importance5. To monitor how efficiently stroke prevention is implemented in a primary care setting we will identify those ‘at risk...

Stroke patients in Wales ‘could die’ because thrombectomy not available
Acute shortage in NHS of specialist doctors who undertake life-saving treatment means hospitals cannot provide itStroke patients in Wales are being denied a life-saving pioneering treatment after the surgical team providing it had to be mothballed because of an acute NHS shortage of the specialist doctors who undertake the procedure.Internal NHS emails obtained by the Guardian reveal that health service bosses in Wales are pleading with hospitals in England to perform mechanical thrombectomy on their patients to save them from disability and death.Continue reading...

A Novel Atrial Fibrillation Evaluation Modelling Solution For NHS
Approximately every fifth stroke in UK is due to AF and costs the UK National Health Service are between $12,000 and $17,500 per stroke. The aim of this study was to undertake a retrospective health economic analysis of the cost-effectiveness and implications related to opportunistic Atrial Fibrillation (AF) screening in primary care and the detection of previously undiagnosed AF cases in patients, and create a novel modelling solution that can empower individual users and organisations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in their decision making, technology assessment, comparison of various anticoagulation d rug group...
