Risk of Stroke With Various Types of Menopausal Hormone Therapies Brief Report
Conclusions—In a national setting, we found an increased risk of stroke, based on ischemic stroke, with oral hormone therapies that was comparable to findings from randomized studies. We found no risk of stroke with transdermal application and a reduced risk with vaginal estrogen.

Socioeconomic Position and Survival After Stroke in Denmark 2003 to 2012: Nationwide Hospital-Based Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The survival of patients with low income was reduced by 30% as compared with those with high income. Education had only a modest effect and only in patients aged <65 years. The impact of socioeconomic position was on late but not on early poststroke death.

Substitution of Linoleic Acid for Other Macronutrients and the Risk of Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—This study suggests that replacing saturated fatty acid, glycemic carbohydrate, or monounsaturated fatty acid with linoleic acid may be associated with a lower risk of ischemic stroke.

Knowledge and application of upper limb prediction models and attitude toward prognosis among physiotherapists and occupational therapists in the clinical stroke setting.
CONCLUSIONS: Results from this study indicate that prediction models for UL function after stroke are not yet a part of daily practice in Danish stroke rehabilitation. At the same time, knowledge of prognosis seems to be relevant for most therapists in their clinical work. PMID: 32583731 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Post-stroke lower urinary system dysfunction and its relation with functional and mental status: a multicenter cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSION: LUTD is a common problem in patients with stroke. LUTD is associated with poorer cognitive and functional status and the quality of life in these patients. We, therefore, suggest that bladder dysfunction should not be overlooked during rehabilitation of stroke patients. PMID: 30570391 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cross-cultural adaptation of the stroke self-efficacy questionnaire - Denmark (SSEQ-DK).
Conclusion The translation and cultural adaptation of the SSEQ to SSEQ-DK appears to be successful, with good face validity and internal consistency along with a high level of relevance and comprehensibility. Further assessment of the inter- and intra-reliability of SSEQ-DK is required before it can be recommended in clinical use. PMID: 29726803 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Childhood Stature and Growth in Relation to First Ischemic Stroke or Intracerebral Hemorrhage Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Short stature at 7 to 13 years is significantly associated with increased risks of IS in both sexes and with ICH in men. Growth during this period of childhood is not significantly associated with either of these stroke subtypes, suggesting that underlying mechanisms linking height with risks of stroke may exert their influence already by early childhood.

Risk of Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Strokes in Occult and Manifest Cancers Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Cancer, occult and manifest, is associated with increased risks for stroke. The increased risk is linked mainly to cancers related to smoking.

Socioeconomic Position and Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Denmark 2003-2012. A Nationwide Hospital-Based Study Stroke
Conclusions In Denmark, there is a strong relation between low socioeconomic position and risk for hospitalization for stroke. Lifestyle, as indicated by smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption, and diabetes appears to increase the risk for stroke in people with lower socioeconomic position.

Social Inequality by Income in Short- and Long-Term Cause-Specific Mortality after Stroke
Goals: It is unclear whether social inequality exists for mortality after stroke. Results of studies on the relation between socioeconomic position (SEP) and mortality after stroke have been inconsistent and inconclusive. Material and Methods: We studied the association between SEP expressed by income and the risk of death after stroke by merging data on incident stroke from Danish registries with nationwide coverage. We identified all incident cases of stroke hospitalized in Denmark 2003-2012 (n  = 60503).

Stroke self-efficacy questionnaire - Denmark (SSEQ-DK): test-retest of the Danish version
CONCLUSION: The SSEQ-DK showed good test-retest reliability of the single items based on agreement among a population with stroke in the subacute and chronic phase. Broad ICC confidence intervals bar any firm conclusions concerning the test-retest reliability of the activity and self-management scales.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03183960.

Effect of informed consent on patient characteristics in a stroke thrombolysis trial
Conclusions: Patients recruited by proxy consent were older, had more severe strokes, and had higher prevalence of aphasia than those with capacity to give personal consent. Variations in the manner of consent across countries may influence trial results. Clinicaltrials.gov and Clinicaltrialsregister.eu identifiers: NCT01525290 (clinicaltrials.gov); 2011-005906-32 (clinicaltrialsregister.eu).

Secondary Stroke Prophylaxis with Clopidogrel Produces Sufficient Antiplatelet Response
Antiplatelet therapy is a cornerstone prevention strategy for secondary ischemic stroke (IS) and transient ischemic attack (TIA). Yet, a proportion of patients who receive antiplatelet therapy experience recurrent ischemic cerebrovascular events. A recent meta-analysis found an increased risk of recurrent stroke in clopidogrel- or aspirin-treated patients with ischemic stroke who had high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR). Few studies have focused specifically on clopidogrel HTPR. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between clopidogrel HTPR and recurrent ischemic events in a population of...
