Sleep disorders and the risk of stroke.
Authors: McDermott M, Brown DL, Chervin RD Abstract INTRODUCTION: Stroke is a major cause of disability and death in the United States and across the world, and the incidence and prevalence of stroke are expected to rise significantly due to an aging population. Obstructive sleep apnea, an established independent risk factor for stroke, is a highly prevalent disease that is estimated to double the risk of stroke. It remains uncertain whether non-apnea sleep disorders increase the risk of stroke. Areas covered: This paper reviews the literature describing the association between incident stroke and sleep apnea, REM sle...

Blood Pressure Management after Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Survey of the StrokeNet Sites
It is unclear what factors providers take into account to determine the target blood pressure (BP) after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in patients who had acute ischemic stroke. We aimed to understand practice patterns of post-MT BP management across institutions in the United States.

Error in Table
The Research Letter titled, “Medical Specialties of Clinicians Providing Mechanical Thrombectomy to Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke in the United States,” published in the April 2018 print issue included an error in the Table that presented the data for neurosurgeons in the row labeled “Neurology,” and the data for neurologists in the row labeled “Neurosurgery.” This included indicating that 110 thrombectomies were performed by neurosurgeons and 91 by neurologists. The Table has been corrected and now matches the data present in the main text of the article: 91 thrombectomies performed by neurosurgeons an d...

Hemicraniectomy for Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Syndrome: A Review of Functional Outcomes in Two High-Volume Stroke Centers
Despite recent landmark randomized controlled trials showing significant benefits for hemicraniectomy (HCT) compared with medical therapy (MT) in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery infarction (MMCAI), HCT rates have not substantially increased in the United States. We sought to evaluate early outcomes in patients with MMCAI who were treated with HCT (cases) in comparison to patients treated with MT due to the perception of procedural futility by families (controls).

Impact of Stroke Call on the Stroke Neurology Workforce in the United States: Possible Challenges and Opportunities
The Stroke& Vascular Neurology Section of the American Academy of Neurology was charged to identify challenges to the recruitment and retention of stroke neurologists and to make recommendations to address any identified problems. The Section initiated this effort by determining the impact of stroke on-call requirements as a barrier to the recruitment and retention of vascular neurologists.

Parenting after stroke: a systematic review.
Conclusion Findings from this systematic review of the perspectives of stroke survivors actively parenting suggest that residual stroke impairments lead to both activity limitations and participation restrictions. However, the literature available on parenting after stroke is limited and there is a significant opportunity to advance this area of stroke research.

Time Trends and Characteristics of Prevalent Dementia among Patients Hospitalized for Stroke in the United States
Little is known about how prevalent dementia rates among patients with stroke have evolved over the last decade or how this relationship varies by gender, race ethnicity, stroke type, or dementia type. We assessed time trends and demographic predictors of coexisting dementia in a large cohort of patients hospitalized for stroke.

First Pass Effect Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The achievement of complete revascularization from a single Solitaire thrombectomy device pass (FPE) is associated with significantly higher rates of good clinical outcome. The FPE is more frequently associated with the use of balloon guide catheters and less likely to be achieved with internal carotid artery terminus occlusion.

Comorbid Psychiatric Disease Is Associated With Lower Rates of Thrombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Brief Report
Background and Purpose—Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) improves outcomes after acute ischemic stroke but is underused in certain patient populations. Mental illness is pervasive in the United States, and patients with comorbid psychiatric disease experience inequities in treatment for a range of conditions. We aimed to determine whether comorbid psychiatric disease is associated with differences in IVT use in acute ischemic stroke.Methods—Acute ischemic stroke admissions between 2007 and 2011 were identified in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample. Psychiatric disease was defined by International Classification of Diseases, ...
