Use of emergency medical transport and impact on time to care in patients with ischaemic stroke
ConclusionsEMS transport was associated with shorter prehospital delays. Effective health education programmes should be developed to promote EMS transport for patients with stroke symptoms. In-hospital stroke management should also be improved to reduce time to medical care.ResumenIntroducciónNumerosos estudios han establecido que el traslado al hospital de los pacientes con ictus por los servicios de transporte sanitario urgente (TSU) implica demoras menores hasta el diagnóstico y tratamiento.ObjetivosDeterminar la frecuencia de uso de TSU por los pacientes con ictus en Bizkaia (España), qué factores se asocian con e...

Trends in stroke hospitalisation rates in Extremadura between 2002 and 2014: Changing the notion of stroke as a disease of the elderly
ConclusionsOur results provide indirect evidence that the epidemiological profile of stroke is changing based on the increase in hospitalisation rates in young adults.ResumenIntroducciónLa incidencia del ictus en nuestro medio ha sido evaluada en diferentes estudios con amplia variabilidad y no comparables. Tampoco hay estudios que analicen los cambios epidemiológicos en pacientes más jóvenes.MétodoEstudio retrospectivo observacional. Conjunto Mínimo Básico de Datos. Se seleccionó a todos los pacientes mayores de 19 años hospitalizados por ictus (códigos ICD-9-CM 434.01, 434.11, 434.91, 430, 431, 432.9, 436 y 435...

Prognostic factors and analysis of mortality due to brain haemorrhages associated with vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants. Results from the TAC Registry
ConclusionICH in patients treated with VKA is associated with high mortality rates; mortality in these patients is mainly and independently associated with the clinical situation at stroke onset.ResumenIntroducciónLa hemorragia intracraneal (HIC) en pacientes tratados con anticoagulantes orales antagonistas de la vitamina K (AVK) es una complicación grave y frecuentemente letal; en este trabajo estudiamos las características clínicas y los factores que se relacionan con la mortalidad en este grupo de pacientes.MétodosRealizamos un estudio observacional, multicéntrico y retrospectivo, de ámbito nacional, basado en re...

Stroke care programme in Aragon (PAIA): strategy and outcomes for the period 2009-2014
ConclusionsIntegrated process management and multidisciplinary teams distributed and deployed over an entire territory with established protocols, references, evaluations, and continuous development, have been proven powerful tools to ensure both quality and equality. The PAIA is a good example of clinical governance and networking due to its dynamic and sustained improvement and cooperation between clinicians.ResumenIntroducciónEn 2008, Aragón tenía tasas de morbimortalidad y discapacidad por ictus superiores a las del conjunto de España. Se estableció la necesidad de desarrollar un Programa de Atención al Ictus (PA...

Trends in stroke hospitalisation rates and in-hospital mortality in Aragon, 1998-2010
We present data globally and broken down by stroke subtype, sex, and age group.ResultsThe number of cases increased by 13% whereas age- and sex-adjusted hospitalisation rates showed a significant decrease for all types of stroke (mean annual decrease of 1.6%). Men and women in younger age groups showed opposite trends in hospitalisation rates for ischaemic stroke. Case fatality rate at 28 days (17.9%) was higher in patients with intracerebral haemorrhage (35.8%) than in those with subarachnoid haemorrhage (26.2%) or ischaemic stroke (13%). CVD case fatality showed a mean annual decline of 2.8%, at the expense of the fatali...

Epidemiology of Intracranial Hemorrhage Associated with Oral Anticoagulants in Spain: Trends in Anticoagulation Complications Registry – The TAC 2 Study
Conclusion: We found that the incidence of OAC-induced ICH was greater than in previous studies. Hemorrhage volume and mortality were lower in ICH-DOACs than in ICH-VKAs. After stroke, DOACs were the most frequently indicated antithrombotic treatment.Intervent Neurol 2018;7:284 –295

Transcranial direct current stimulation in the modulation of neuropathic pain: a systematic review.
Discussion The shortage of good quality articles, the varying of ramp-on and ramp-off durations, and number of sessions, as well as the diversity of results found did not allow any definite conclusion on the efficacy of the neuromodulating effect of tDCS on NP.

Treatment with Uric Acid Reduces Infarct and Improves Neurologic Function in Female Mice After Transient Cerebral Ischemia
Exogenous administration of uric acid, a naturally occurring antioxidant that scavenges reactive oxygen species in vasculature, has shown protective efficacy in both rodent models of stroke and human stroke patients in Spain as an adjuvant treatment to mechanical thrombectomy. Before clinical trials can be initiated in the United States, however, confirmation of efficacy in alternative preclinical models is required in accordance with stroke therapy academic industry roundtable-RIGOR criteria. To date, preclinical efficacy has only been established in the acute setting in male rodents.
