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 ...

High Detection Rate of Atrial Fibrillation With Insertable Cardiac Monitor Implantation in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke Diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Background: Detection and treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major goal in preventing secondary stroke. Insertable cardiac monitors (ICMs) are available for diagnosis of arrhythmia monitoring in patients with cryptogenic stroke. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based diagnostic evaluation for acute ischemic stroke subtype classification is common in Japan and can be useful for specific diagnosis of cryptogenic stroke. Purpose: We aimed to investigate the detection rate of AF with an ICM in patients with cryptogenic stroke who were diagnosed by MRI.

Factors Influencing Sitting Ability During the Acute Post-Stroke Phase: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study in Japan
Stroke is the second leading cause of both death and disability worldwide.1 In Japan, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death2 and the second leading cause of being bedridden3 due to residual neurological and neuropsychological disorders. Long-term prognoses for stroke patients can be improved through acute stroke rehabilitation.4 Therefore, appropriate rehabilitation and mobilization at an early stage are necessary to improve functional prognoses after stroke.

Analyzing Cost-Effectiveness of Allocating Neurointerventionist for Drive and Retrieve System for Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
The cost of stroke treatment accounts for approximately 6% of Japan's national medical expenditure,1 and stroke is the second most common condition, after dementia, that results in a requirement for long-term care. Thus, stroke has a significant impact on society.2 Cerebral infarction accounts for 60% or more of stroke cases.3 Systematic provision of highly equitable and efficient treatment for cerebral infarction is an important policy issue, such as the enactment of the Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease Control Act in December 2018 in Japan, as part of an effort to enhance provision of treatment for cerebral infarction.

Comparison of primary and secondary stroke prevention in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation: Results from the RAFFINE registry
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a predictor of severe stroke and early death in acute ischemic stroke patients.1 The prevalence of AF has increased as the Japanese population has aged.2 AF has been more common among patients with ischemic stroke than previously reported.3 In particular, AF patients with a history of stroke or TIA have had higher risks for stroke, hemorrhagic events, and death compared to those without.4,5 In these previous studies, most patients received warfarin for anticoagulation therapy.

Recurrent Stroke and Bleeding Events after Acute Cardioembolic Stroke —Analysis Using Japanese Healthcare Database from Acute-Care Institutions
To understand the reality of patients who experienced a cardioembolic stroke (CES) is important because of the high incidence of recurrent stroke and the need to account for bleeding risk in relation to the need for anticoagulation treatment. We elucidated the current real-world medical care in patients who had a CES and identified the risk factors for recurrent stroke.

Stroke Mimics and Accuracy of Referrals Made by Emergency Department Doctors in Japan for Patients with Suspected Stroke
Background: Stroke mimics (SMs)are medical conditions that are at first considered to be of cerebrovascular etiology but turn out to be a condition other than stroke. While many reports on SMs have been published, there have been none from Japan. Thus, we sought to assess the current state of SMs in a Japanese population. Methods: We collected data of patients referred with suspicion of stroke to neurosurgeons by emergency department (ED) doctors, and we retrospectively evaluated the diagnosis concordance rate between the ED doctors and the neurosurgeons.

Stroke Systems of Care during the COVID-19 Epidemic in Kobe City
The novel coronavirus disease 2019  (COVID-19), first reported in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, spread worldwide in 2020. As of June 1, 2020, the estimated number of global cases and deaths has exceeded 6 million and 370,000, respectively.1 In Japan, the number of reported cases increased sharply in March 2020, with community tran smission presenting at the highest rate in urban areas, leading to a state of emergency being declared by the Japanese government on April 7. Subsequently, on April 9, the Japan Stroke Society and the Japanese Circulation Society issued a joint statement on the importance of maintaining high-q...

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Percutaneous Patent Foramen Ovale Closure Preventing Secondary Ischemic Stroke in Japan
Cryptogenic ischemic stroke is a type of ischemic stroke for which the mechanism of onset and etiology cannot be explained or specified by any known mechanisms/factors. The possible involvement of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the etiology of cryptogenic ischemic stroke has been reported.1 It was previously reported that occult atrial fibrillation and PFO were embolic sources that caused cryptogenic ischemic stroke.2 PFO is an opening formed during the course of fetal atrial septum development. Usually, it closes spontaneously after birth; however, PFO remains patent after maturation to adulthood.

Association Between Oral Anticoagulants and Stroke Severity at Onset in Elderly Patients with Cardioembolic Stroke Due to Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
The prevention of cardioembolic stroke is an important public health priority in Japan due to its high prevalence in elderly individuals. Compared to their younger counterparts, elderly patients with cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have multiple comorbidities, a higher risk of serious complications, such as pneumonia and heart failure, and cognitive impairments (e.g., dementia or delirium), which may adversely affect their ability to participate in active rehabilitation. These factors negatively affect clinical outcomes, and many elderly stroke survivors require long-term care despite the early implementation of intensive therapy.
