Identifying a High Stroke Risk Subgroup in Individuals with Heart Failure
Conclusions: The combination of previous stroke/TIA and DM increases the incidence of stroke in participants with HF without AF. No analyzed subgroup had a stroke rate high enough to make it likely that the benefits of warfarin would outweigh the risks.

Disparities in Stroke Type and Vascular Risk Factors Between 2 Hispanic Populations in Miami and Mexico City
Conclusions: We found significant differences in the frequency of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and atrial fibrillation in Miami Hispanics and Mexican stroke patients, highlighting the heterogeneity of the Hispanic ethnic group. Future studies are needed to clarify the relative contribution of genetic and environmental disparities amongst Mexican and Caribbean Hispanic stroke patients.

Prevalence and Risk Factors for Stroke in an Adult Population in a Rural Community in the Niger Delta, South-South Nigeria
This study aimed to determine the prevalence of stroke in a rural population in the Niger Delta region in south–south Nigeria and to describe known risk factors for stroke among them. A door-to-door stroke prevalence study was conducted in 2008 among randomly selected adults of 18 years or older in rural Kegbara-Dere community in Rivers State, south–south Nigeria. We administered a modified screening tool by the World Health Organization, a stroke-specific questionnaire, and conducted a physical/neurological examination (on persons screening positive) in 3 stages of assessments. The crude prevalence of stroke was 8.51...

Incidence and Cost of Stroke and Hemorrhage in Patients Diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation in France
Conclusions: The incidence and cost of hospitalization for hemorrhage should be considered in the global burden of AF. These data should be useful for pharmacoeconomic evaluation of new oral anticoagulant medications. Such real-world studies may be relevant for monitoring mid- to long-term morbidity and mortality in the AF population.

Factors Predicting High Estimated 10-Year Stroke Risk: Thai Epidemiologic Stroke Study
Conclusions: Socioeconomic status, in particular, unemployed/house work and illiterate class, might be good proxy to identify the individuals at higher risk of stroke. The most powerful risk factors were older age, male sex, diabetes mellitus, systolic blood pressure, and current smoking.

Glycosylated Hemoglobin for Diagnosis of Prediabetes in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Background: Prediabetes (PD) is an independent risk factor for stroke. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has recently published new guidelines recommending glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) as a marker to diagnose diabetes and PD. Diagnosis of diabetes Mellitus (DM) is often made at the time of hospitalization for stroke. Less is known about identifying PD in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. We aim to investigate the frequency of new-onset PD in the hospitalized AIS patients using the new ADA guidelines.Methods: We retrospectively studied 362 AIS patients from our local database. Stroke risk factors, type of s...

Metformin-inclusive Therapy Reduces the Risk of Stroke in Patients with Diabetes: A 4-Year Follow-up Study
Metformin is a kind of oral hypoglycemic agents commonly prescribed to patients with diabetes mellitus. Although past studies had proven its protective effect on cardiovascular risk and related mortality, the evidence of metformin on stroke prevention was still insufficient and conflicting. Our study randomly selected 14,856 patients with diabetes from the database provided by the Taiwan National Health Research Institute, and 2 cohorts were formulated according to whether metformin was in the prescription record. All cases were followed up for 4 years to track their stroke incidence. As a result, 701 (17.5%) of 3999 diabe...

The Long-term Nutritional Status in Stroke Patients and its Predictive Factors
Conclusions: Malnutrition was highly prevalent, with an important role of change in food intake and food preferences, which could result from brain lesions and specific regimens. Living in an institution needs consideration, as its negative effects can be prevented.

The Impact Factors on the Cost and Length of Stay among Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Age 65 and over, atrial fibrillation, stroke treatment, and subtypes were the significant predictive factors affecting hospital costs and LOS. Compared to other countries, Taiwan spent the least while Canada had the highest expense. The United States had the shortest LOS (6 days) in contrast to Canada with the longest LOS (34-47 days). Regarding mean daily cost of stroke, the United States had the highest cost per day while China spent the least.

Brain Natriuretic Peptide in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Elevated serum brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels are associated with cardioembolic stroke mainly because of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, the mechanisms of increased serum BNP levels are hitherto unclear. We aimed to identify the factors associated with increased BNP levels in patients with acute ischemic stroke. We measured serum BNP levels in consecutive patients aged 18 years or older. Stroke subtypes were classified using the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment criteria. Categorical variables included age, sex, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia...

Effect of metformin on outcome after acute ischemic stroke in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a well-known risk factor for ischemic stroke and is associated with unfavorable outcome after stroke. Metformin is recommended as first-line treatment in these patients. Pre-stroke metformin use might have neuroprotective properties resulting in reduced stroke severity. However, results of the effects of pre-stroke metformin use on functional outcome are conflicting and has not been previously described in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus regardless of stroke severity or revascularization treatment.

C-reactive Protein and Homocysteine Predict Long-term Mortality in Young Ischemic Stroke Patients
Conclusions: There is an independent association between CRP and homocysteine levels obtained several years after ischemic stroke in young adults and subsequent mortality, even when adjusting for traditional risk factors. This association seems to continue for at least 12 years after the measurements.

Predictors of Recurrent Ischemic Stroke in Obese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Population-based Study
Each year, approximately 0.8 million people are estimated to experience a new or recurrent stroke, according to the 2019 report of the American Heart Association.1 In Malaysia, stroke is the third leading cause of death after ischemic heart disease (IHD) and pneumonia.2 Both obesity and diabetes are considered as the established independent risk factors for ischemic stroke.3 Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) was also found to be associated with an increase in all-cause as well as cardiovascular mortality following the stroke,4,5 and in a meta-analysis of 18 studies, patients with diabetes had a higher stroke recurrence as co...

Skin Autofluorescence is an Independent Predictor of Post Stroke Infection in Diabetes
Post stroke infection occurs in 15 –20% of acute stroke patients and is associated with a poor longterm outcome. In a prospective study on 113 acute ischemic stroke patients with diabetes mellitus 15.9% suffered nosocomial infection. We found chronic hyperglycemia measured by skin autofluorescence in arbitrary units to be an indepe ndent predictor of a nosocomial infection post stroke (OR = 3.24 [CI 95%: 1.13; 9.26], p = 0.029). Skin autofluorescence represents the glycemic memory beyond HbA1c. Potential mechanisms leading from increased skin autofluorescence to vulnerability for infectious complications include ...

The Role of Classic Risk Factors and Prothrombotic Factor Gene Mutations in Ischemic Stroke Risk Development in Young and Middle-Aged Individuals
Background: In young individuals, a genetically predisposing hypercoagulability and classic modifying risk factors can act synergistically on the ischemic stroke risk development. The aim of the study was to compare the prevalence of classic vascular risk factors and polymorphisms of the G20210A coagulation factor II (prothrombin), Arg506Glu coagulation factor V Leiden, C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and 4G/5G plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and the impact of these gene mutations and classic vascular risk factors on the overall stroke risk in individuals aged 55 years or younger.Methods: The s...
