Incidence, early case fatality and determinants of stroke in Iran: Golestan Cohort Study
Stroke is a neurological deficit secondary to an acute focal central nervous system injury caused by a vascular origin.1 In 2019, stroke was considered the second cause of death worldwide, accounting for 125 million Disability-Adjusted Life-Years (DALYs).2 In addition to physical disability, stroke causes tremendous emotional distress and a significant economic burden.3 Studies suggest that the global burden of stroke has been increasing during the past few decades. This increase has been attributed to aging populations and the rising prevalence of risk factors, particularly in low and middle-income countries.

Validation of the Persian Version of the Engagement in Meaningful Activities Survey (EMAS) in an Iranian Stroke Population: Predictors of Participation in Meaningful Activities
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The results indicate that the EMAS-P has acceptable reliability and validity among Iranian people with chronic stroke. Moreover, the EMAS-P showed good discriminant validity for age, depression, and disability level among them. What This Article Adds: The EMAS-P is a reliable and valid scale for assessing the engagement of Iranian chronic stroke survivors in meaningful activities and thus should be helpful in both clinical research and practice.PMID:35771732 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2022.046623

Causes of mortality in patients after first ‐ever stroke: A retrospective population‐based study
ConclusionThere are no sex differences in mortality after first-ever stroke. Elderly patients need more support and attention due to greater stroke mortality. Complete blood count, lipid profile and blood levels of urea, creatinine, and fasting blood sugar may be useful in predicting mortality after first-ever stroke.

The Burden of Stroke in Kurdistan Province, Iran From 2011 to 2017
CONCLUSIONS: The burden of stroke is increasing in Kurdistan Province. Since health services in Iran are based on treatment, steps are needed to revise the current treatment services for stroke and to improve the quality of services. Policy-makers and managers of the health system need to plan to reduce the known risk factors for stroke in the community. In addition to preventive interventions, efficient and up-to-date interventions are recommended for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients in hospitals. Along with therapeutic interventions, preventive interventions can help reduce the stroke burden.PMID:3384...
