In-hospital stroke and mortality trends after left ventricular assist device implantation in the United States from 2017 to 2019
CONCLUSIONS: Our study found a significant downtrend in the in-hospital mortality rates among patients with LVAD without substantial changes in stroke rate trends over the study timeframe. As stroke rates remained steady, we hypothesize that improved management along with better control of blood pressure, could have played an important role in survival benefit over the study time frame.PMID:37387231 | DOI:10.1177/03913988231183723

Recurrent Ischemic Stroke: Strategies for Prevention.
Abstract Recurrent strokes make up almost 25% of the nearly 800,000 strokes that occur annually in the United States. Risk factors for ischemic stroke include hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, and obesity. Lifestyle modifications, including tobacco cessation, decreased alcohol use, and increased physical activity, are also important in the management of patients with a history of stroke or transient ischemic attack. Antiplatelet therapy is recommended to reduce the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke. The selection of antiplatelet therapy should be based on timing, safety, effectiveness, ...

Featured Review: Virtual reality for stroke rehabilitation
Many people after having a stroke have difficulty moving, thinking, and sensing. This often results in problems with everyday activities such as writing, walking, and driving. Virtual reality and interactive video gaming therapy  involves using computer-based programs designed to simulate real-life objects and events. This may have some advantages over traditional  therapy approaches as they can give people an opportunity to practice everyday activities that are not or cannot be practiced within the hospital environment and patients may spend more time in therapy as the activity might be more motivating.A team of Cochra...

Outcome Measure Scores Predict Discharge Destination in Patients With Acute and Subacute Stroke: A Systematic Review and Series of Meta-analyses.
CONCLUSION: Outcome measure scores are strong predictors of discharge destination among patients with stroke and provide an objective means of early discharge planning. Discharge decisions should be made with consideration for patient-specific biopsychosocial factors that may supersede isolated results of the outcome measures, and further research needs to assess the success of the location that a patient is referred at discharge.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A194).

Outcome and predictive factors in post-stroke seizures: A retrospective case-control study
Every year, more than 795,000 people in the United States have a stroke [1]. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death for Americans [1]. Stroke is a commonly identified cause of epilepsy in patients older than 35, and the most common cause of seizures in the elderly [2,3]. From stroke registry data, 5-20% of all patients who have suffered stroke will develop seizures[4]. Frequency is variable due to different study methodologies[4]. In a multicenter, prospective study, seizures occurred in 8.9% of 1897 patients with stroke [4,5].

Economic and Societal Aspects of Stroke Management
Stroke is a major health burden worldwide with attendant mortality, morbidity, and cost. In 2010, there were approximately 16.9 million strokes and an estimated 33 million stroke survivors worldwide. Also, in the United States, stroke is the third leading cause of death, with ischemic stroke resulting in 8% 30-day mortality (20% for hemorrhagic stroke). The staggering economic cost of the disease is driven largely by disability and long term care. Efforts in stroke healthcare delivery are focusing on performance, efficiency and value to better serve the consumer.

Management of Stroke in the Neurocritical Care Unit
This article provides updated information regarding the diagnosis and treatment (specifically critical care management) of acute ischemic stroke. This article also discusses the increased use of thrombolysis and thrombectomy in clinical practice. RECENT FINDINGS Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the United States. A significant proportion of patients with acute ischemic stroke require critical care management. Much has changed in the early evaluation and treatment of patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke. The introduction of embolectomy in large vessel occlusions for up to 24 hours post–symptom ons...

Performance of the RACE Score for the Prehospital Identification of Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke in a Suburban/Rural EMS Service.
CONCLUSION: The RACE scale demonstrated acceptable discrimination, yet the sensitivity and positive predictive value were lower in this cohort of EMS professionals in the U.S. than in the original validation study conducted in Spain. Further work is needed to determine the optimal prehospital screening tool for identification of LVO. PMID: 30668202 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Role of Informed Consent for Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Authors: Comer AR, Damush TM, Torke AM, Williams LS Abstract Although tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is the only medication approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for acute ischemic stroke, there is no consensus about the need for informed consent for its use. As a result, hospitals throughout the U.S. have varying requirements regarding obtaining informed consent from patients for the use of tPA, ranging from no requirement for informed consent to a requirement for verbal or written informed consent. We conducted a study to (1) determine current beliefs about obtaining patients' infor...
