Recurrent stroke arrival time
Stroke patients and family members should receive stroke education including recognition of stroke symptoms and prompt activation of emergency medical services (EMS). The impact of this education is unclear. We aimed to measure the associations between EMS use and timing of hospital arrival and first-ever and recurrent strokes as a proxy for stroke education.

Lifestyle-related habits and factors before and after cardiovascular diagnosis: a case control study among 2,548 Swedish individuals
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that a CVD event may increase motivation to improve lifestyle habits. Nonetheless, the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyle habits was still high, emphasizing the need to improve implementation of primary and secondary CVD prevention.PMID:37020317 | DOI:10.1186/s12966-023-01446-w

Association between Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Nationwide Multilevel Observational Study
CONCLUSIONS: For patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke at the ED, low neighborhood SES is associated with low odds of receiving mechanical thrombectomy. Public health strategies should be developed to resolve these disparities and to decrease the health care burden of acute ischemic stroke.PMID:37013692 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14731

Do social determinants influence post-stroke aphasia outcomes? A scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Research on SDOHs and aphasia outcomes is in its infancy. Given SDOHs are modifiable and operate over a lifetime, and aphasia is a chronic condition, there is a pressing need to understand the role of SDOHs on aphasia outcomes in the long term.Implications for rehabilitationResearch on the role of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) and aphasia outcomes is in its infancy.The role of SDoHs has been mainly investigated in relation to language outcomes.Little is known about the SDoHs on activity, participation, and quality of life outcomes.Rehabilitation professionals should consider the potential influence of i...

A qualitative pilot study exploring clients' and health-care professionals' experiences with aquatic therapy post-stroke in Ontario, Canada
CONCLUSIONS: Health-care professionals and clients reported numerous benefits of aquatic therapy post-stroke including, but not limited to, improvements in mobility, balance, wellbeing, and socialization. Lack of formal and informal education and communication as participants' transition from rehab to community were viewed as barriers to aquatic therapy use post-stroke. Developing education material and communication strategies may improve the uptake of aquatic therapy post-stroke.PMID:36999561 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2195590

Improving outcomes of AF ablation by integrated personalized lifestyle interventions: rationale and design of the prevention to improve outcomes of PVI (POP) trial
This study is a prospective, 1:1 randomized, single centre, investigator-initiated clinical trial in 150 patients with paroxysmal or persistent AF referred for a first pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Prior to the ablation, patients in the intervention group receive a personalized risk factor treatment programme in a specialized, protocolized, nurse-led outpatient clinic. Patient education and durable lifestyle management is promoted with an e-health platform. Patients in the control group receive standard care by cardiologists before ablation. The primary endpoint is the number of hospitalizations for re-ablation and cardi...

Determinants of stroke mortality among west africans: findings from the siren study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in low-and-medium-income countries, but the pattern and determinants of stroke fatality are yet to be clearly understood among Africans. We assessed the determinants of stroke mortality among adults from 15 sites in Ghana and Nigeria in the Stroke Investigative Research and Educational Network (SIREN) study in West Africa.

Women's reproductive traits and cerebral small-vessel disease: A two-sample Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionOur findings do not convincingly support a causal effect of women's reproductive factors on CSVD. Future studies are warranted to investigate specific estrogen-related physiological changes in women, which may inform current researchers on the causal mechanisms involved in cerebral small-vessel disease progression.

Importance of Retesting for the Final Diagnosis of Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment
Conclusions: We established the prevalence of CogI and its course after 6 months in a well-defined group of patients after a mild ischaemic stroke (mean NIHSS: 2 and mean mRS: 1 at the discharge). Our results show that the prevalence of CogI after an ischaemic stroke at discharge is relatively high (74%), and it tends to be a spontaneous reduction. Cognitive functions were changed in 35% of patients. The definition of PSCI was completed in only 24% of individuals. Only an examination several months after a stroke can give us more accurate information about the true prevalence of persistent CogI after a stroke.PMID:36984638...
