National Trends, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Acute In-hospital Stroke After Lung Transplantation in the United States: Analysis of the United Network for Organ Sharing Registry
Chest. 2023 Apr 11:S0012-3692(23)00503-2. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2023.04.007. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Lung transplantation is the definitive treatment for end-stage lung failure. However, there have been no large, long-term studies on the impact of acute in-hospital stroke in this population.RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the trends, risk factors, and outcomes of acute stroke in patients undergoing lung transplantation in the United States?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: We identified adult first-time, isolated lung transplant (LTx) recipients from the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database, which comprehe...

Intracranial haemorrhage and subsequent ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation: A nationwide cohort study.
Conclusion:In this large-scale study of AF patients treated with warfarin, first-time ICH was associated with an increased rate of ischaemic stroke/SE/TIA and mortality compared to the non-ICH group. There was a decrease in the warfarin prescription purchase rate post-ICH period compared to pre-ICH, which may partly explain the excess risk. Background: The risk of ischemic stroke/thromboembolic events after an intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients on warfarin treatment is poorly characterised. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the risk of ischaemic stroke/thrombo...

The impact of associated diabetic retinopathy on stroke and severe bleeding risk in diabetic patients with atrial fibrillation: The Loire Valley Atrial Fibrillation Project.
ConclusionCrude rates of stroke/TE increased in a stepwise fashion when non-diabetic AF patients were compared to diabetics with no retinopathy and diabetics with retinopathy. However, we have shown for the first time that the presence of diabetic retinopathy did not emerge as an independent predictor for stroke/TE or severe bleeding on multivariate analysis. Background: Diabetes mellitus is recognized as a stroke risk factor in atrial fibrillation (AF). Diabetics with retinopathy have an increased risk of systemic cardiovascular complications, and also, severe diabetic retinopathy predisposes to ocular bleeds. We hyp...

Oral anticoagulation and the risk of stroke or death in patients with atrial fibrillation and one additional stroke risk factor: the Loire Valley Atrial Fibrillation Project.
Conclusion: Among AF patients with one single additional stroke risk factor (CHA2DS2-VASc score = 1 in males, 2 in females), OAC use was associated with an improved prognosis for stroke/systemic thromboembolism/death. PMID: 26425935 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Trends in Intensive Care Admissions and Outcomes of Stroke Patients Over 10 Years in Brazil: Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Chest. 2022 Nov 5:S0012-3692(22)04049-1. doi: 10.1016/j.chest.2022.10.033. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected stroke care worldwide. Data from low- and middle-income countries is limited.RESEARCH QUESTION: What was the impact of the pandemic in intensive care admissions and outcomes of patients with stroke, in comparison to trends over the last ten years?STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Retrospective cohort study including prospectively collected data from 165 ICUs in Brazil between 2011 and 2020. We analyzed clinical characteristics and mortality over a period of 10 years ...

Development of a novel composite stroke and bleeding risk score in patients with atrial fibrillation: The AMADEUS study.
CONCLUSION We have developed and validated 2 novel composite scores for stroke/thromboembolism/ bleeding that offer good discriminatory and predictive performance. However, these composite risk scores did not perform better than the easier and more practical 'traditional' stroke and bleeding risk scores that are currently in use, which allow greater practically and more personalised balancing of risks.

Time trends of aspirin and warfarin use on stroke and bleeding events in Chinese patients with new-onset atrial fibrillation.
Conclusion: Aspirin use increased amongst newly diagnosed Chinese AF patients with no relationship to the patient's stroke or bleeding risk. Warfarin use was very low. Given the healthcare burden of AF and its complications, our study has major implications for healthcare systems in non-Western countries, given the global burden of this common arrhythmia.

Risk of serious atrial fibrillation and stroke with use of bisphosphonates: Evidence from a meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: Evidence from RCT's and observational studies suggests a significantly increased risk of atrial fibrillation requiring hospitalization, but no increase in risk of stroke or cardiovascular mortality with the use of bisphosphonate. PMID: 23722644 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Recalibration of the HAS-BLED score - should haemorrhagic stroke account for 1 or 2 points?
Abstract Following a haemorrhagic stroke, it is uncertain whether this event scores 1 point (either for Stroke or Bleeding) or 2 points (1 point each for Stroke and Bleeding) on the HAS-BLED score. We investigated the value of a recalibration of the HAS-BLED score to account for 2 points from a haemorrhagic stroke. We analysed data from the Danish nationwide cohort of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) patients from January 1999 to December 2013. The primary outcome in this observational study was major bleeding. The original- and the recalibrated HAS-BLED scores were assessed and event rates of major bleeding...

Dyspnea Post Pulmonary Embolism from VD/VT and Stroke Volume Defects During Exercise.
CONCLUSIONS: Increased VD/VT at anaerobic threshold and decreased stroke volume reserve during exercise are common among patients with dyspnea on exertion after long-term treatment of PE. The defects can be disclosed noninvasively by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. PMID: 31759962 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationship of the SAME-TT2R2score to poor quality anticoagulation, stroke, clinically relevant bleeding and mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation.
CONCLUSION We demonstrate that the SAME-TT2R2 score was predictive for an increasing risk of stroke/TE, severe bleeding, major BARC bleeding and death, reflecting poor anticoagulation control (and labile INRs) on VKA amongst our patients with AF. PMID: 24722973 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Patent foramen ovale and stroke in intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism.
CONCLUSIONS: PFO and related ischemic strokes are frequent in intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism. TEE is much more efficient than TTE for PFO diagnostic. Considering the high risk of intra-cranial bleeding with thrombolysis in PE, which in part may be due to haemorrhagic transformation of sub-clinical strokes, screening PFO with TEE should be considered in intermediate risk PE when a thrombolytic treatment is discussed.
