The Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke Questionnaire: Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Reliability, and Concurrent Validity in a Dutch Population
Unmet needs are common after stroke. We aimed to translate the 22-item Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke (LUNS) Questionnaire and validate it in a Dutch stroke population.

Association of Computed Tomography Ischemic Lesion Location With Functional Outcome in Acute Large Vessel Occlusion Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The association between follow-up noncontrast computed tomography ILV and outcome as assessed with mRS 3 months after stroke is strengthened by accounting for the mRS relevance of the affected brain areas. Future prediction models should account for the ILV in brain areas of high mRS relevance.

Prediction of Clinical Outcome After Acute Ischemic Stroke Brief Report
Conclusions—Follow-up imaging after 3 days improves outcome prediction compared with prediction based on baseline variables alone. CTA recanalization and CTP reperfusion do not outperform noncontrast CT at this time point.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00880113.

Mortality after primary intracerebral hemorrhage in relation to post-stroke seizures
This study aims to determine the relation between seizures (i.e., with and without anti-epileptic therapy) and long-term mortality risk in a large patient population with intracerebral hemorrhage. We retrospectively included patients with a non-traumatic ICH in all three hospitals in the South Limburg region in the Netherlands between January 1st 2004 and December 31st 2009, and we assessed all-cause mortality until March 14th 2016. Patient who did not survive the first seven days after intracerebral hemorrhage were excluded from analyses. We used Cox multivariate analyses to determine independent predictors of mortality. ...

Variation in Organization of Transient Ischemic Attack Care in The Netherlands. A Nationwide Survey Study
Previous research has shown the importance of urgent initiation of antiplatelet therapy after transient ischemic attack (TIA) to reduce the risk of stroke. Many hospitals in the Netherlands have therefore implemented rapid pathways for assessment of patients with TIA. Dutch stroke guidelines lack clear directives for organization of TIA assessment and thus allow for variation.The aim of this study was to investigate variation in organization of TIA assessment in Dutch hospitals.

The Posterior Fossa and Foreign Accent Syndrome: Report of Two New Cases and Review of the Literature
AbstractForeign accent syndrome is a rare motor speech disorder that causes patients to speak their language with a non-native accent. In the neurogenic condition, the disorder develops after lesions in the language dominant hemisphere, often affecting Broca ’s area, the insula, the supplementary motor area and the primary motor cortex. Here, we present two new cases of FAS after posterior fossa lesions. The first case is a 44-year-old, right-handed, Dutch-speaking man who suffered motor speech disturbances and a left hemiplegia after a pontine infarc tion. Quantified SPECT showed a bilateral hypoperfusion in the inferio...

Hospital costs of ischemic stroke and TIA in the Netherlands
Conclusions: Hospital costs are higher for inpatients and ischemic strokes compared with outpatients and TIAs, with length of stay (LOS) the most important contributor. LOS and hospital costs have substantially declined over the last 10 years, possibly due to improved hospital stroke care and efficient integrated stroke services.

Ethnic Disparities in Ischemic Stroke, Intracerebral Hemorrhage, and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Incidence in The Netherlands Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Our findings suggest that Surinamese have an increased risk, whereas Moroccans have a reduced risk for all the various stroke subtypes. Among other ethnic minorities, the risk seems to depend on the stroke subtype and sex. These findings underscore the need to identify the root causes of these ethnic differences to assist primary and secondary prevention efforts.

The Dutch String‐of‐Pearls Stroke Study: Protocol of a large prospective multicenter genetic cohort study
BackgroundIn the last couple of years, genome‐wide association studies have largely altered the scope in genetic research in diseases in which both environmental and genetic risk factors contribute to the disease. To date, the genetic risk loci identified in stroke have lagged behind those in other complex diseases, possibly because of the heterogeneity of stroke phenotypes. Sufficiently large cohorts with well‐defined and detailed phenotyping of stroke patients are needed to identify additional genetic risk loci. DesignThe String‐of‐Pearls Institute is a unique partnership between all eight University Medical Cent...

Age‐ and gender‐specific time trend in risk of death of patients admitted with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in the Netherlands
ConclusionsThe decrease in risk of death for patients admitted in the Netherlands with subarachnoid hemorrhage is overall considerable, but unevenly distributed over age and gender. Further research should focus on reasons for improved survival (improved diagnostics, improved treatment) and reasons why improvement has not occurred for women and for patients in older age categories.
