Implementing a Simple Care Bundle Is Associated With Improved Outcomes in a National Cohort of Patients With Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Achieving a care bundle for ischemic stroke is associated with reduced mortality at 30 days and 6 months and increased likelihood of discharge to usual residence at 6 months.

The impact of stroke unit care on outcome in a Scottish stroke population, taking into account case mix and selection bias
Conclusions In routine practice, stroke unit admission is associated with a greater likelihood of discharge home and with lower mortality up to 1 year, after correcting for known independent predictors of outcome, and excluding early non-modifiable mortality.

Polygenic risk of ischemic stroke is associated with cognitive ability
Conclusions: The findings from this study indicate that even in the absence of stroke, being at high polygenic risk of ischemic stroke is associated with lower cognitive ability.

Complications following incident stroke resulting in readmissions: an analysis of data from three Scottish health surveys
ConclusionsCardiovascular events and infections are the most frequent poststroke complications resulting in readmissions. The time period until event provides a possibility to focus monitoring on those people at risk of readmission and introduce preventative measures, thereby reducing readmission‐associated costs.

Adaptation and content validation of a patient-reported measure of treatment burden for use in stroke survivors: the patient experience with treatment and self-management in stroke (PETS-stroke) measure
CONCLUSIONS: PETS-stroke has content that is relevant, meaningful and comprehensible to stroke survivors. Content validity and reliability testing are now required. The validated tool will aid testing of tailored interventions to lessen treatment burden.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONTreatment burden is reported by stroke survivors but no stroke-specific measure of treatment burden exists.We adapted an existing measure of treatment burden for use in multimorbid patients (PETS) to create a stroke specific version (PETS-stroke).The items in PETS-stroke are relevant and meaningful to people with stroke.Further testing will ex...

A qualitative study of sedentary behaviours in stroke survivors: non-participant observations and interviews with stroke service staff in stroke units and community services
CONCLUSIONS: Staff are aware of the consequences of prolonged sitting but did not relate to SB. Explicit knowledge of SB was limited. Staff need training to support stroke survivors to reduce SB. Sedentary behaviour in the community was not reported to change markedly, highlighting the need to engage stroke survivors in movement from when capable in hospital, following through to home.Implications for rehabilitationStroke survivor sedentary behaviour is influenced, directly and indirectly, by the actions and instructions of stroke service staff in the inpatient and community setting.The built and social environment, both i...

Adaptation and Content Validation of a Patient-Reported Measure of Treatment Burden for use in Stroke Survivors (PETS-Stroke)
Conclusions: The development of a systematic method of quantifying treatment burden from the perspective of stroke survivors will allow for the identification of patients at high risk of treatment burden and will aid the design and testing of tailored interventions aimed at lessening treatment burden.PMID:36972534 | DOI:10.1370/afm.21.s1.3647

Psychometric evaluation of a newly developed measure of emotionalism after stroke (TEARS-Q).
CONCLUSION: TEARS-Q accurately diagnoses tearful emotionalism after stroke. PMID: 33345598 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Practical guidance on use of TEARS-Q to diagnose post-stroke emotionalism
CONCLUSION: TEARS-Q reliably identifies those who need no further post-stroke emotionalism assessment, those who need further assessment to clarify diagnosis, and those who almost certainly have post-stroke emotionalism and may benefit from intervention.PMID:34134538 | DOI:10.1177/02692155211024801
