What is important in supporting self-management in community stroke rehabilitation? A Q methodology study
CONCLUSIONS: Differing views exist on what is most important in SSM. These views could be used to inform quality improvement strategies to support the delivery of SSM that considers the preferences of stroke survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONClinicians should be aware of their own viewpoint of supported self-management and consider how their perspective may differ from stroke survivors' and colleagues' perspectives of what's important to support self-management.Working in partnership with stroke survivors plus developing a trusting and supportive relationship with them are core components of supporting self-managem...

Secondary prevention treatment after acute stroke in older South Asian, Chinese and other Canadians: a retrospective data analysis.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Little is known about whether there are differences in medication use between older patients of Chinese descent, those of South Asian descent and other Canadian patients after acute ischemic or primary intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke. The aim of this population-based study was to evaluate potential ethnic differences in secondary prevention pharmacotherapy after acute stroke. METHODS: Using health administrative data, we conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients aged 66 years or more admitted to hospital with acute stroke in Ontario (1997-2011) and British Columbia (1997-2009). ...

Sight Impairment registration due to stroke —A small yet significant rise?
ConclusionsThese data suggest a small but statistically significant increase in the incidence of certifiable visual impairment due to stroke between 2008 and 2014. Figures are, however, considerably lower than estimated, perhaps suggesting that more should be done to address the visual needs of those who have suffered stroke. In the United Kingdom, there was a significant increase in the incidence of certifiable visual impairment due to stroke between 2008 and 2014. Figures are, however, considerably lower than estimated, perhaps suggesting that more should be done to address the visual needs of those who have suffered stroke.

Cost-effectiveness of percutaneous patent foramen ovale closure as secondary stroke prevention.
CONCLUSIONS: Considering the UK healthcare system perspective, percutaneous PFO closure in cryptogenic ischemic stroke patients is a cost-effective stroke prevention strategy compared to medical therapy alone. Its cost-effectiveness was driven by substantial reduction in recurrent strokes and patients' improved health-related quality-of-life. PMID: 29564942 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Acupuncture treatment and the risk of urinary tract infection in stroke patients: a nationwide matched cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study, we raised the possibility that acupuncture treatment may be associated with a reduced risk of UTI among stroke patients. However, the protective effect associated with acupuncture treatment requires further validation using randomized clinical trials. PMID: 31032620 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Consumption of flavonoid-rich fruits, flavonoids from fruits, and stroke risk: a prospective cohort study.
Abstract We sought to examine the prospective associations of specific fruit consumption, in particular flavonoid-rich fruit (FRF) consumption, with the risk of stroke and subtypes of stroke in a Japanese population. A study followed a total of 39,843 men and 47,334 women aged 44-76 years, and free of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer at baseline since 1995 and 1998 to the end of 2009 and 2012, respectively. Data on total and specific FRF consumption for each participant were obtained using a self-administrated food frequency questionnaire. The hazard ratios (HRs) of stroke in relation to total and spec...
