Newly Diagnosed Dementia and Increased Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Nationwide Population-based Study.
Conclusion: Individuals with dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease, are at greater risk of developing stroke, especially in intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage than patients without dementia. Early mental screening programs and health education should be initiated for dementia patients. PMID: 24484279 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke And Cerebrovascular Risk Factors Knowledge In Patients Admitted To A Cardiovascular Ward. (P1.135)
Conclusion: Even in these selected population, with previous or current CVD, a large amount of RF and a high rate of previous medical consultations, knowledge about stroke showed to be very low indicating a poor quality of preventive measures and the need to emphasize educational interventions.Disclosure: Dr. Muñoz has nothing to disclose.

Emergency Medical Services Prenotification is Associated with Reduced Odds of In-Hospital Mortality in Stroke Patients
Conclusions: Prenotification by EMS was associated with reduced in-hospital mortality for patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack. These findings add to the large body of literature demonstrating the key role of EMS in the stroke systems of care. Our study underscores the importance of standardizing prehospital screening and triage, increasing rates of prenotification via feedback and education, and encouraging active collaborations between prehospital personnel and stroke-capable hospitals to increase in-hospital survival among patients with stroke and transient ischemic attack.PMID:35583481 | DOI:10.1...

Identification of reversible causes of minority inequity in stroke: severity related to race and socio-economic status.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who are uninsured minorities may be at an increased risk for severe strokes. This increase in risk appears to be related to the increased incidence of risk factors and lack of treatment. The lack of funds, care access, and limited education in these patients may be related to their increase in risk factors. This paper identifies potentially reversible environmental and societal factors that can lead to improved outcomes in indigent minority patients. PMID: 30325276 [PubMed - in process]

A Decade of Racial and Ethnic Stroke Disparity: An Insight from Nhanes (P03.151)
CONCLUSIONS: The greater prevalence of stroke in AA compared to NHW is better explained by variables that reflect the diagnosis and control of important vascular risk factors. These results identify targets for interventions to reduce this disparity.Disclosure: Dr. Gutierrez has nothing to disclose.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in Mental Distress among Stroke Survivors.
CONCLUSION: Serious mental distress is highly prevalent among US stroke survivors and is more common in Hispanics than NHWs, African Americans and Asians. Further study of the role of mental distress in ethnic differences in post-stroke disability is warranted. PMID: 26118139 [PubMed - in process]

Return to work predictors of stroke survivors and their spousal caregivers.
CONCLUSIONS: Further research is needed regarding the return to work needs of stroke survivors and their spousal caregivers, particularly what role the occupational therapist may play in facilitating that process. PMID: 28506018 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A Virtual, Randomized, Control Trial of a Digital Therapeutic for Speech, Language, and Cognitive Intervention in Post-stroke Persons With Aphasia
Conclusions: Overall, this study demonstrates the feasibility of a fully virtual trial for patients with post-stroke aphasia, especially given the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, as well as a safe, tolerable, and efficacious digital therapeutic for language/cognitive rehabilitation.Clinical Trial Registration:www.ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT04488029.
