Etiologic Evaluation of Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults: A Comparative Study between Two European Centers
Introduction: Identifying the cause of ischemic stroke in young adults is often difficult. Our objective was to compare the etiologic diagnostic strategy for ischemic stroke in young adults between 2 European centers and investigate the influence of workup variations in the diagnosed etiologies. Patients and Methods: We included patients aged 18-55 years admitted for ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack to the stroke units of Santa Maria Hospital in Lisbon, Portugal, and Innsbruck University Hospital in Innsbruck, Austria, between 2014 and 2016.

Late Hospital Arrival for Thrombolysis after Stroke in Southern Portugal: Who Is at Risk?
Background: Delayed hospital arrival remains the main reason for the low rates of thrombolysis in eligible acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The role of socioeconomic and clinical factors for the prehospital delay of AIS remains poor and has never been studied in Portugal. Objectives: Describe the socioeconomic and clinical factors leading to delayed hospital admission of AIS patients eligible to thrombolysis. Methods: A case-control study with a consecutive thrombolyzed AIS patients from 2010 to 2015.

Response to Commentary on “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study”
We appreciate the correspondence by Safiri and Ashrafi-Asgarabad regarding our article “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study” recently published in Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases.1 It appears as if the methods and objectives of our study were misinterpreted. The main objective was to ide ntify the 30-day in-hospital predictors of death based on demographic, clinical, and radiological variables and for that, multivariate analysis was performed.

Comments on “Short-Term Outcome of Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Algarve, Portugal: Retrospective Hospital-Based Study”
We were interested to read the paper by Nzwalo et  al that was published in the Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases in 2018.1 The study was conducted to determine the predictors of 30-day in-hospital spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage mortality in Algarve, the southernmost region of Portugal. It is clear that an interesting study has been conducted, but some methodological issues need to be taken into account.
