Epidemiology of stroke in the last decade: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: There are few studies that analyse the incidence of CVD and even fewer that analyse its evolution. The overall median remains high, although the figures are heterogeneous across studies. Worldwide the trend is towards its decrease, and there are geographical areas, especially in Asia, with an alarming upward trend.PMID:34676530 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7309.2021138

Preventable Cases of Oral Anticoagulant-Induced Bleeding: Data From the Spontaneous Reporting System
Conclusion: Our findings describe the most reported risk factors for preventability of oral anticoagulant-induced bleedings. These factors may be useful for targeting interventions to improve pharmacovigilance activities in our regional territory and to reduce the burden of medication errors and inappropriate prescription. Introduction Oral anticoagulant therapy is widely used for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation, or for the prevention and treatment of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (Raj et al., 1994; Monaco et al., 2017). Oral anticoagulants can be di...

Validation of Prognostic Models to predict Early Mortality in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Cross Sectional Evaluation of a Singapore Stroke Database
Numerous scores have been developed for prognostication of outcomes in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Prediction models must be validated internally and externally before they are considered widely applicable. We aim to independently externally validate and compare three prediction models (ICH score, ICH grading scale (ICH-GS) and simplified ICH (sICH)) in our population, which has not been previously done.

External Validation of Hematoma Expansion Scores in Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in an Asian Patient Cohort
ConclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first study to validate HE scores, namely PREDICT, 9-Point and BRAIN, in a multi-ethnic Asian ICH patient population. The PREDICT score was the best performing model in our study cohort, based on the performance metrics employed in this study. Our findings also showed support for CT angiography spot sign as a predictor of outcome after ICH. Although the models assessed are sufficient for risk stratification, the discrimination and calibration are at best moderate and could be improved.
