Comparison of Acute Ischemic Stroke Care and Outcomes Between Comprehensive Stroke Centers and Primary Stroke Centers in the United States Original Articles
Conclusions: CSCs and PSCs achieved similar overall care quality for patients with acute ischemic stroke. CSCs exceeded PSCs in timely acute reperfusion therapy for emergency department admissions, whereas PSCs had lower risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality. This information may be important for acute stroke triage and targeted quality improvement.

Ethnic Differences in Prevalence of Post-stroke Depression Original Articles
Conclusions: MAs had a higher prevalence of PSD at 90 days than NHWs. The ethnic difference was explained by sociodemographic and health factors, especially low educational attainment.

Comparative mortality according to peripheral artery disease and coronary heart disease/stroke in the United States
CONCLUSIONS: In the US adults, PAD contributed to increased mortality in persons with and without CHD/stroke. The prognosis of PAD without CHD/stroke was no better than that of CHD/stroke without PAD. These results suggest the importance of recognizing the presence of PAD in the community.PMID:35584971 | DOI:10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2022.04.029

Abstract 206: Expansion Of Emergency Medical Services Routing For Stroke In The United States Poster Session II
Conclusions: In 2010 a majority of stroke patients in the United States were hospitalized in an area with established or transitioning to EMS diversion. This milestone coverage of half the US population is a major advance in systematic stroke care, and emphasizes the need for novel approaches, such as telemedicine, to further extend access to stroke center care to all patients.

Contemporary Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Therapies for Secondary Stroke Prevention: A Narrative Review of Current Literature and Guidelines
Curr Neurol Neurosci Rep. 2023 Apr 11. doi: 10.1007/s11910-023-01266-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPURPOSE OF REVIEW: Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The annual incidence of new or recurrent stroke is approximately 795,000 cases per year in the United States, of which 87% are ischemic in nature. In addition to the management of modifiable high-risk factors to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke, antithrombotic agents (antiplatelets and anticoagulants) play an important role in secondary stroke prevention. This review will discuss the published literature on the use of antiplatelets and antic...

Acute ischemic stroke: improving access to intravenous tissue plasminogen activator.
This article gives an overview of the recent approaches pursued to improve access to alteplase for acute ischemic stroke patients. Utilization of stroke systems of care, quality metrics, and quality improvement initiatives to improve alteplase treatment rates are discussed. The implementation of Telestroke networks to improve access and timely evaluation by a stroke specialist are also reviewed. Lastly, this review discusses the use of neuroimaging techniques to identify alteplase candidates in stroke of unknown symptom onset or beyond the 4.5-hour treatment window.Expert commentary: Expanding access to alteplase therapy f...

The Sky's the Limit: Expanding Nursing's Contribution to Acute Stroke Science
Am J Crit Care. 2022 Jul 1;31(4):266-274. doi: 10.4037/ajcc2022109.ABSTRACTStroke is the number one cause of preventable disability in adults in the United States. Significant advances have occurred in medications and technology supporting rapid stroke diagnosis and treatment during the past 30 years, along with blurring of the lines of what traditionally constituted nursing or medical research. Ischemic stroke is a disease of vascular insufficiency that mirrors myocardial infarction more than any other neurologic diagnosis. My primary program of research is focused on exploration of methods to improve intracranial blood f...
