Long-Term Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke in Young Patients With Congenital Heart Disease Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The relative risk of hemorrhagic stroke among children and young adults with CHD was almost 8× higher than that of matched controls from the general population, although the absolute risk was low. The highest risk of ICH and SAH occurred in patients with severe nonconotruncal defects and coarctation of the aorta.

One-Year Incidence, Time Trends, and Predictors of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in Sweden From 1998 to 2010 Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The risk of recurrent ischemic stroke decreased from 1998 to 2010. Well-known risk factors for stroke were associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke recurrence; whereas, secondary preventive medication was associated with a reduced risk, emphasizing the importance of secondary preventive treatment.

Education Level and Inequalities in Stroke Reperfusion Therapy: Observations in the Swedish Stroke Register Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— We demonstrated a social stratification in reperfusion, partly explained by patient characteristics and the local hospital specialization level. Further studies should address treatment delays, stroke knowledge, and means to improve reperfusion implementation in less specialized hospitals.

Mortality After Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Acute Myocardial Infarction: Predictors and Trends Over Time in Sweden Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Mortality after AMI complicated by an ischemic stroke is very high but decreased from 1998 to 2008. The increased use of evidence-based therapies explains the improved prognosis.

Twenty-Four-Year Trends in the Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Sweden From 1987 to 2010 Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The incidence of IS in elderly people in Sweden is now decreasing, whereas the decline in IS incidence in the middle-aged people is much less steep. The increasing incidence of stroke in the young, particularly if carried forward to an older age, is concerning.
