Healthcare expenditure trends among adult stroke patients in the United States, 2011-2020
In the US, between 2018 and 2019, approximately $57 billion were expended on stroke and related conditions. The aim of this study was to understand trends in direct healthcare expenditures among stroke patients using novel cost estimation methods and a nationally representative database.

Safety, tolerability and feasibility of remotely-instructed home-based transcranial direct current stimulation in children with cerebral palsy
Perinatal stroke or brain bleeds affect an estimated 1 in 3500 births in the United States, with an increased risk of developing cerebral palsy (CP), a developmental disorder associated with motor impairment [1,2]. While many CP rehabilitation approaches emphasize behavioral repetition to improve gait and upper extremity function, these therapies are costly, restricted to the clinic, and may offer limited functional gains [3]. Therefore, innovative rehabilitation strategies which are accessible, cost-effective, and time-efficient are indicated for long-term benefits.

Post-stroke pneumonia: Factors associated with readmission within 90 days of stroke discharge
Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of disability within the United States.1,2 On average, a stroke occurs every 40 seconds and accounts for approximately 1 in every 19 deaths.2 The prevalence of stroke is projected to increase by 20.5% from 2012 to 2030.2 Post-stroke complications are prevalent; infection occurs among 30% of acute cases.3 Pneumonia is one of the most common post-stroke infections and is associated with increased morbidity.4,5 Moreover, pneumonia is recognized as an independent risk factor for stroke-related mortality.

Risk of suicide among stroke survivors in the United States
Stroke is the largest cause of disability and the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. Suicide is the 12th leading cause of death in the United States. However, little is known about the risk of suicide among people with a prior stroke.

The incidence of medium vessel occlusions: a population-based study
ConclusionAs the only stroke center in Olmsted County, we have been able to estimate the incidence of ischemic stroke due to MeVO. While the incidence of MeVOs is less than both large and small vessel occlusions, they still represent a significant proportion of strokes with significant morbidity and mortality that would benefit from further studies in both acute intervention and prevention.

Prevalence and predictors of low folate levels among stroke survivors in a country without mandatory folate food fortification: Analysis of a Ghanaian sample
Vitamin supplementation with folic acid (FA) reduces hyperhomocysteinemia (Hcy), a vascular risk factor with a strong, graded, and independent association with stroke and other vascular diseases.1 Available data suggest that a 25% reduction in total plasma homocysteine level is accompanied by a 19% lower stroke risk.1,2 Evidence from clinical trials on the effect of folate supplementation on mitigation of stroke risk has however been conflicting. A synthesis of clinical trial data has shown that supplemental FA had a neutral effect on reducing vascular events in countries with a mandate for folate fortification of food, fo...

Characteristics and Outcomes of Children with Cerebral Sinus Venous Thrombosis
ConclusionsCSVT, which has a U-shaped age distribution, is an uncommon condition in children. Stroke is common in children with CSVT, and it is associated with an increased need for mechanical ventilation and increased mortality. The need for mechanical ventilation is more common in infants, and it is associated with increased mortality across all age groups.

Body mass index and waist circumference as predictors of recurrent vascular events after a recent ischemic stroke
Obesity is an independent contributor to ischemic stroke incidence. A meta-analysis of 13 studies revealed that a 5 kg/m2 increase in body mass index (BMI) was associated with a 22% increased risk of ischemic stroke in European/North American/Australian cohorts and a 35% increased risk of ischemic stroke among the Asian populations.1 In a meta-analysis of 7 prospective studies, persons in the highest waist circumference (WC) category had a relative risk of 1.41 (95% CI, 1.21 –1.56) for ischemic stroke compared with persons in the lowest category.

Trends in deaths and disability-adjusted life-years of stroke attributable to high body-mass index worldwide, 1990 –2019
ConclusionA range of indicators for the global burden of stroke attributable to HBMI have been on the rise for the past three decades. Tremendous efforts worldwide should be in place to control and treat stroke attributable to HBMI, especially in regions with high-middle and middle SDIs and among middle-aged and aged populations.

Seasonal variation in the incidence of primary intracerebral hemorrhage: a 16-year nationwide analysis
ConclusionUnlike AIS, ICH incidence is consistently higher in colder quarters, underscoring the need for evaluation and prevention of factors driving seasonal variations in ICH incidence.

Associations between homocysteine and B vitamins and stroke: a cross-sectional study
ConclusionNon-linear associations of plasma Hcy and B vitamins levels with stroke prevalence were found in American adults. These associations may have an implication that higher plasma Hcy levels should be reduced, and plasma vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folate levels should be moderately improved in stroke prevention. Future studies are needed to verify the causality of these associations and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Hospital Discharge and Readmissions Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic for California Acute Stroke Inpatients
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, with approximately 795,000 new strokes occurring annually, including acute ischemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).1 The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all levels of care for stroke patients, such as delays in initial presentation, reduction in acute therapies, limitations of in-patient resources, delays or lack of initiation of secondary stroke prevention therapy, and limitations in rehabilitation services after hospital discharge.
