One-Year Risk of Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke in Hunter New England, Australia (INSIST Study)
Conclusion: One-year risk of stroke in TIAMS participants was lower than reported in previous studies. Early implementation of antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapies may have contributed to the low stroke recurrence.

Telestroke Assessment With Perfusion CT Improves the Diagnostic Accuracy of Stroke vs. Mimic
Conclusions: In the telehealth setting, the absence of an ischaemic lesion on CTP adds to the diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing mimic from stroke, above that from clinical features.

The Need for Structured Strategies to Improve Stroke Care in a Rural Telestroke Network in Northern New South Wales, Australia: An Observational Study
Conclusion: In our telestroke network, acute stroke timing metrics did not improve over time. There is the need for targeted education and training focusing on both stroke reperfusion competencies and the technical aspects of telestroke in areas with limited workforce and high turnover.

No Evidence of the “Weekend Effect” in the Northern New South Wales Telestroke Network
Conclusions: The weekend effect is not evident in the Northern NSW telestroke network experience, though this study did identify some opportunities for improvement in the delivery of acute stroke therapies.

Googling Location for Operating Base of Mobile Stroke Unit in Metropolitan Sydney
Conclusions: Any of the ECR capable hospital can serve as a hub for MSU. We provide a method to identify the hub based on location of suburbs less well served by other hospital.

Googling service boundaries for Endovascular Clot Retrieval (ECR) hub hospitals in metropolitan Sydney
Conclusions: The simulation studies supported a minimum of 4 ECR hubs servicing Sydney. This model provides data on number of suburbs and population at risk of stroke that can reach these hubs within 30 minutes.
