Stroke Risk Screening Scales (SRSS): Identification of Domain and Item Generation
Stroke is a principal cause of mortality and disability in Thailand and globally. Early and comprehensive risk identification would be critical to identify people at high risk for stroke. Therefore, a comprehensive stroke risk screening tool is needed to assess all possible stroke risks and potential at-risk populations. In the future, such an instrument would benefit early detection and stroke prevention planning.

Pneumonia and Risk of Serious Adverse Outcomes in Hospitalized Strokes in Thailand
Background: The impact of stroke associated pneumonia (SAP) on stroke complications is not well understood; we aimed to study the association between SAP and adverse outcomes including in-hospital mortality, prolonged length of stay and the risk of developing common serious complications (sepsis, respiratory failure, and convulsions). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from a cohort of 610,668 stroke patients drawn from the Universal Coverage Health Security Scheme (a national insurance database) in Thailand which covers ∼80% of the Thai population.

Self-perceived and Actual Risk of Further Stroke in Patients with Recurrent Stroke or Recurrent Transient Ischemic Attack in Thailand
Background: The correct perception in patients of their future risk of recurrent stroke may lead to changes in behavior and to successful secondary prevention of stroke. The primary aim was to compare patients ’ perceived risk with the actual risk of further stroke. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2 tertiary hospitals in northeast Thailand. Self-perceived risk of further stroke was assessed by validated questionnaire and categorized as low, medium, or high. Actual risk was calcula ted using Stroke Prognosis Instrument II which classified patients into 3 risk groups: low, medium, and high.
