Depression and Anxiety after Stroke in Young Adult Filipinos
Anxiety and depression are important psychiatric conditions to recognize after stroke.1 Poststroke depression (PSD) has been reported in around one third of stroke patients while poststroke anxiety affects a quarter of stroke patients.2 Depression and anxiety may also co-exist and persist in individuals long after a stroke.3 These complications adversely impact stroke outcome.4,5 Apart from restrictions in social function, they are associated with poorer quality of life, diminished functionality and increased risks of mortality.

A Call for a Stroke Referral Network Between Primary Care and Stroke-Ready Hospitals in the Philippines: A Narrative Review
Conclusions: In the era of Universal Health Care in the Philippines, the roles of PCP and specialists must be delineated.

Current State of Stroke Care in the Philippines
Stroke remains the leading cause of disability and death in the Philippines. Evaluating the current state of stroke care, the needed resources, and the gaps in health policies and programs is crucial to decrease stroke-related mortality and morbidity effectively. This paper aims to characterize the Philippines' stroke system of care and network using the World Health Organization health system building blocks framework. To integrate existing national laws and policies governing stroke and its risk factors dispersed across many general policies, the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) institutionalized a national policy f...

International Nursing Collaboration to Establish the Philippine Quit Line: Using a Conceptual Model for Partnership and Sustainability in Global Health
Tobacco use remains the single most preventable cause of death and disability worldwide. In the Philippines, 28.3% of the people are current tobacco smokers, which is one of the highest smoking rates in Asia. The World Health Organization estimates that 10 Filipinos die every day from cancer, stroke, and lung and heart disease caused by cigarette smoke and approximately 24 million Filipinos are exposed to secondhand smoke in the home. Although there are quit lines in all 50 U.S. states and territories, there was no access to this smoking cessation program in the Philippines before the initiation of the international collab...

Acute Stroke Care Algorithm in a Private Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Third World Country Experience
Since March 2020, we have experienced an influx of COVID-19 positive patients. As of April 27, 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of at least 27 healthcare professionals while infecting 1080 healthcare professionals in the Philippines.1 Despite attempts to formalize protocols and treatment pathways to ensure the safety of healthcare professionals while optimizing patient care, Philippine healthcare workers from every department still continue to suffer from COVID-19 infections. These affect not only acute care but also emergency response systems such as the brain attack code.

Explaining Health Outcomes of Asian Immigrants: Does Ethnicity Matter?
AbstractThe present study intended to evaluate whether 4 discrete ethnic groups of Asian immigrants could, for empirical reasons, be assigned a set of unique operating factors explaining health outcomes of members. The set comprised several acculturation, social structure, lifestyle, and health-related factors. Our study asked if these factorsuniformly explained health outcomes across the 4 groups. We pooled National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data dating 1999 –2015 and developed 2 outcomes: self-rated health and self-reported chronic illness (specifically, diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, prediabetes/diabetes, h...

The Relationship of Sleep Duration with Ethnicity and Chronic Disease in a Canadian General Population Cohort.
Conclusion: Important differences exist in sleep duration between ethnic groups and may contribute to observed health disparities. Our results highlight the need for ethnicity-specific targeted education on the importance of prioritizing sleep for good health, and the need to account appropriately for ethnicity in future epidemiological, clinical, and translational research into sleep and related conditions.
