Physical Activity Behavior and Its Association With Global Cognitive Function Three Months After Stroke: The Nor-COAST Study
CONCLUSIONS: In contrast to previous research, in the present study, most participants adhered to the updated global PA guidelines. However, people who had survived stroke and had reduced cognitive function were at higher risk of inactivity, an association mediated by physical capacity.IMPACT: A better understanding of the association between cognition and PA behavior after stroke might help for developing more targeted early-onset interventions.PMID:37440440 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad092

Risk factors for stroke and choice of oral anticoagulant in atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsThe uptake of DOACs was rapid and spurred an increase in new users of oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation from 2010 to 2015 in Norway. The mean CHA2DS2-VASc score did not change substantially during this period. Vascular disease, heart failure, and diabetes were associated with initiation of warfarin, and previous stroke, age 65 –74 and female sex with initiation of DOACs.

Covariables and types of abnormal left ventricular geometry in nonelderly ischemic stroke survivors: the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Background: Abnormal left ventricular (LV) geometry types, like LV hypertrophy (LVH) and concentric remodelling, are independently associated with impaired prognosis in hypertension. Little is known about the prevalence and covariables of abnormal LV geometry types in younger ischemic stroke patients. Methods: We used clinical and echocardiographic data from 280 patients aged 15–60 years included in the Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study. LVH was defined as LV mass index greater than 46.7 g/m2.7 in women and greater than 49.2 g/m2.7 in men. Concentric remodelling was considered present if posterior wall thickne...

The Norwegian Cognitive impairment after stroke study (Nor-COAST): study protocol of a multicentre, prospective cohort study
Early and late onset post-stroke cognitive impairment (PCI) contributes substantially to disability following stroke, and is a high priority within stroke research. The aetiology for PCI is complex and related...

Left ventricular myocardial dysfunction in young and middle-aged ischemic stroke patients: the Norwegian stroke in the young study
Background: Hypertension is highly prevalent in ischemic stroke patients, but less is known about its impact on subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in such patients. Methods: Conventional and speckle tracking echocardiography was performed in 276 young (15–44 years) and middle-aged (45–60 years) ischemic stroke patients (mean age 50 ± 9 years, 66% men). Hypertension was defined as a history of hypertension, use of antihypertensive medications, persistently elevated blood pressure (BP) during hospitalization or elevated clinic BP (≥140/90 mmHg) and ambulatory BP (≥130/80 mmHg) at follow-up vi...

Stroke follow-up in primary care: a Norwegian modelling study on the implications of multimorbidity for guideline adherence
Specialized acute treatment and high-quality follow-up is meant to reduce mortality and disability from stroke. While the acute treatment for stroke takes place in hospitals, the follow-up of stroke survivors ...

Binge drinking and risk of ischemic heart disease and stroke: a study of pooled Norwegian health surveys
Am J Epidemiol. 2021 Mar 15:kwab063. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwab063. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTNorwegian health survey data (1987 - 2003) were analysed to determine if binge drinking increases the risk of incident major events from ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke. Among current drinkers reporting average alcohol intakes between 2 to 60 g/day (n = 44,476), frequent binge drinking (5+ units ≥ once per month) was not associated with a greater risk of IHD (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.91, 95% confidence interval: 0.76, 1.09) nor stroke (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.98, 95% confidence interval: 0.81, 1.19), in comparison with...

Associations of Binge Drinking With the Risks of Ischemic Heart Disease and Stroke: A Study of Pooled Norwegian Health Surveys
AbstractNorwegian health survey data (1987 –2003) were analyzed to determine if binge drinking increases the risk of incident major events from ischemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke. Among current drinkers reporting average alcohol intakes of 2.00–59.99 g/day (n = 44,476), frequent binge drinking (≥5 units at least once per month) was not associated with a greater risk of IHD (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.76, 1.09) or stroke (adjusted HR = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.81, 1.19), in comparison with participants who reported that they never or only infrequently (less than once per month...

Virtual reality simulation training in stroke thrombectomy centers with limited patient volume-Simulator performance and patient outcome
CONCLUSION: Performance on the virtual reality simulator improved after training. Virtual reality simulation may improve the learning curve for interventional radiologists in limited-volume thrombectomy centers. No correlation alleged, the clinical data indicates that the centers studied performed thrombectomy in accordance with guideline-recommended standards.PMID:37670718 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231198275

High prevalence of chronic musculoskeletal complaints among women in a Norwegian general population: the Tromslatin small letter o with stroke study
Background: The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence and severity of MSCs in the adult general population of Northern Norway, and to study associations between MSCs and various demographic and lifestyle variables. Methods: Data from the Troms[latin small letter o with stroke] 6 survey (2007-2008) of the population-based Troms[latin small letter o with stroke] Study were used (12,984 participants, 65.7% participation rate). We included 8,439 participants aged 30-79 years in the analyses. Associations between demographic and lifestyle variables and chronic MSCs (i.e., those lasting for at least 3 consecutive mo...
