Exploring dimensions of quality-of-life in survivors of stroke with communication disabilities - a brief report
CONCLUSIONS: Survivors of stroke with communication disabilities are more negatively impacted across different dimensions of quality-of-life (as reported between 90 and 180 days post-stroke) compared to those without communication disabilities. This highlights the need for timely and on-going comprehensive multidisciplinary person-centered support.PMID:35786371 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2022.2095087

The effect of self-management programs on post-stroke social participation: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: The self-management programs seem not to be superior to usual care for the improvement on social participation in stroke survivors based on current evidence. Further well-designed investigation considering social participation as the primary outcome is still warranted.PMID:35765234 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221095477

EE352 Projecting the Incidence and Costs of Major Cardiorenal Complications of Type 2 Diabetes with Widespread GLP-1 RA and SGLT2I Use
Whether glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) or sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) are cost-effective when considering solely their cardiorenal benefits is unknown. We projected the incidence and costs of hospitalisation for myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and heart failure (HF), and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) among people with type 2 diabetes under scenarios of widespread use of these drugs, from an Australian healthcare perspective.

Systematic Review of Existing Stroke Guidelines: Case for a Change
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review has identified a significant evidence-practice gap in all existing national stroke guidelines published in English medium as of October 2020. These guidelines included the only current "living stroke guidelines," stroke guidelines from Australia with a real opportunity to modernize the living stroke guidelines with systems biology approach, and provide 2020 vision towards better stroke care globally. Investigation of complex disease such as stroke is best served through a systems biology approach. One of the easiest places to start is simple blood tests such as total white cell count and...

Association of carbohydrate and saturated fat intake with cardiovascular disease and mortality in Australian women
Conclusions In middle-aged Australian women, moderate carbohydrate intake (41.0%–44.3% of TEI) was associated with the lowest risk of CVD, without an effect on total mortality. Increasing saturated fat intake was not associated with CVD or mortality and instead correlated with lower rates of diabetes, hypertension and obesity.

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.
