Cilostazol for the Prevention of Acute Progressing Stroke: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusions: Cilostazol failed to show a preventive effect against acute progressing stroke. However, the tendency to reduce progressing stroke and the results of stratified analyses may encourage additional studies to clarify the effect of cilostazol in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.

Quality of Acute Ischemic Stroke Care in Thailand: A Prospective Multicenter Countrywide Cohort Study
Conclusions: Limited access to acute ischemic stroke care interventions were observed in many domains especially thrombolysis and stroke unit admission. These findings emphasize an urgent need for strategies to improve standard acute stroke care among developing countries.

Stroke Incidence and Usage Rate of Thrombolysis in A Japanese Urban City: The Kurashiki Stroke Registry
Conclusion: In this urban Japanese city, the age-adjusted incidence of first-ever stroke between March 2009 and February 2010 was 60.7 per 100,000 residents, which was relatively low compared with findings for other countries. Thrombolysis was given to approximately 5% of patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Effects of Sex Difference on Clinical Features of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Japan
Background: Sex differences in stroke characteristics and outcomes have been inconsistent. The goal of this study was to determine the influence of sex on underlying patient characteristics, stroke subtypes and conditions, and outcomes after ischemic stroke from a nationwide registration study.Methods: A total of 33,953 patients with acute ischemic stroke, including 13,323 women, were registered in a multicenter, hospital-based registration study based on a computerized database from 162 Japanese institutes (the Japan Standard Stroke Registry Study) between January 2000 and November 2007.Results: Women were significantly ...

Development of a Poststroke Checklist to Standardize Follow-up Care for Stroke Survivors
Conclusions: The PSC was developed to be a brief and easy-to-use tool, intended to facilitate a standardized approach for health care providers to identify long-term problems in stroke survivors and to facilitate appropriate referrals for treatment.

Disparities in transitions of acute stroke care: The transitions of care stroke disparities study methodological report
Despite successful stroke therapies, women, minority, and other disadvantaged populations continue to experience a disproportionate burden of stroke and poor outcomes after stroke.1,2 Hospital based quality improvement stroke programs have demonstrated greater adherence to evidence-based stroke care recommendations. However, it is less evident if the implementation of these programs minimizes race-ethnic, sex and geographic disparities in stroke care post hospitalization. About 25% of discharged stroke patients are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days of initial event.

The Prognostic Effect of Cigarette Smoking on Stroke Severity, Disability, Length of Stay in Hospital, and Mortality in a Cohort with Cerebrovascular Disease
Conclusions: Our results provide empirical evidence regarding the prognostic influence of cigarette smoking on stroke severity, disability, and LOS in hospital and mortality, but the magnitude of the effect varied by stroke type.

Diffusion-weighted Imaging–Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery Mismatch in Nocturnal Stroke Patients with Unknown Time of Onset
Background: More than a quarter of patients with ischemic stroke (IS) are excluded from thrombolysis because of an unknown time of symptom onset. Recent evidence suggests that a mismatch between diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging could be used as a surrogate for the time of stroke onset. We compared used the DWI–FLAIR mismatch and the FLAIR/DWI ratio to estimate the time of onset in a group of patients with nocturnal strokes and unknown time of onset.Methods: We used a prospectively collected acute IS patient database with MRI as the initial imaging modality. Nineteen...

Cardioembolic Stroke Is the Most Serious Problem in the Aging Society: Japan Standard Stroke Registry Study
Japan has the fastest aging society in the world. Older patients have a different stroke risk profile and different stroke features compared with younger patients. The aim of the present study was to examine the stroke subtypes, risk factor profiles, stroke severities, and functional outcomes in the different age groups.

Intravenous Thrombolysis Is Safe and Effective for the Cryptogenic Stroke in China: Data From the Thrombolysis Implementation and Monitor of Acute Ischemic Stroke in China (TIMS-China)
The intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) therapy is safe and efficient during the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. Nonetheless, the different outcomes among various stroke subgroups have limited data with regard to the safety and efficacy of cryptogenic stroke (CS). The present study compared the safety and efficacy when IVT with rt-PA was used for the treatment of CS and the other stroke subtypes.

The iScore Predicts Efficacy and Risk of Bleeding in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Tissue Plasminogen Activator Stroke Trial
The iScore is a validated tool to estimate outcomes after an acute ischemic stroke. A previous study showed the iScore can predict clinical response and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). We applied the iScore (www.sorcan.ca/iscore) to participants in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke tPA stroke trials to evaluate its ability to estimate clinical response and risk of ICH after thrombolysis. Based on results from our previous study, patients were stratified a priori into iScore

Blood Pressure Control among Stroke Patients in Thailand—The i-STROKE Study
Background: Direct correlation between stroke mortality and hypertension calls for a tight blood pressure (BP) control. Our study determined the prevalence of the BP control and evaluated current clinical practices on hypertension management in stroke patients in Thailand.Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional, retrospective, observational study was carried out between February 2010 and January 2011 and enrolled stroke patients aged 45 years or older with ictus incidence 12,030 days before the enrollment. The events were confirmed by either computerized tomography scan or magnetic resonance imaging. Patient data incl...

Why Clinicians Prognosticate Stroke Patients Poorly: Results from the Clinician Judgment versus Risk Score to Predict Stroke Outcomes Randomized Study
Prognostication after a stroke has important implications for care and for decisions made by patients and their families. It is not clear why clinicians, even experienced stroke neurologists, poorly estimate the risk of disability and death following stroke.
