Occurrence and Predictors of Persistent Impaired Glucose Tolerance After Acute Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: Half of the patients with impaired glucose tolerance after a TIA or ischemic stroke have persistent impaired glucose tolerance. We provide a prediction model to identify patients at risk of persistent impaired glucose tolerance, with statin use, triglyceride, and fasting plasma glucose as the most important predictors, which after external validation might be used to optimize secondary prevention.

Association between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Stroke: A Meta-analysis of Prospective Observational Studies
Conclusions: In conclusion, our formal meta-analysis indicated no strong association between H. pylori infection and stroke, neither in those with cytotoxin-associated gene-A–positive infection. We believe that future epidemiologic studies of H. pylori and stroke are unlikely to be fruitful.

A Prescription at Discharge Improves Long-term Adherence for Secondary Stroke Prevention
Conclusions: Provision of a prescription strengthens adherence at 1 week from discharge for both prior and new users of antihypertensive and lipid-lowering drugs. Medication adherence at 1 week after discharge for acute ischemic stroke predicts adherence for secondary preventive therapies at 1 and 2 years.

Association of Variants in KCNK17 Gene with Ischemic Stroke and Cerebral Hemorrhage in a Chinese Population
Conclusions: The T carrier of an SNP (rs12214600) is associated with reduced risk of cerebral hemorrhage in the Chinese population, together with previous findings that SNPs rs10947803 and rs12214600 in the KCNK17 gene are associated with hemorrhagic stroke, but none of the SNPs tested had an association with ischemic stroke. KCNK17 may be important in the pathogenesis of cerebral hemorrhage.

Patient Awareness and Perception of Stroke Symptoms and the Use of 911
Conclusions: African–Americans used 911 at a significantly higher rate. Use of 911 may be related to access to transportation, lack of insurance, or proximity to the hospital although this information was not available. Interventions are needed to improve patient arrival times to telemedicine equipped emergency departments after stroke.

Predictors of Cholesterol and Lipoprotein(a) Testing in Children with Arterial Ischemic Stroke
The objective of this study is to identify predictors and modifiable barriers to lipid testing in pediatric stroke.Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis, children (28 days-18 years) with arterial ischemic stroke were identified from the International Pediatric Stroke Study registry (January 2003-April 2012). Analyzed predictors of recorded lipid or lipoprotein a (Lp(a)) testing were age, sex, race, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI) category, other stroke risk factors, country, US region, and recurrent thrombosis.Results: Among 1652 participants (median, 6 years [interquartile range, 1.7-12.7]; 59.0% male; 40.8% white;...

The Second Elevation of Neuron-Specific Enolase Peak after Ischemic Stroke Is Associated with Hemorrhagic Transformation
Conclusions: Serial NSE analysis during the acute period of ischemic stroke is useful for monitoring hemorrhagic transformation and the blood-brain barrier disruption status.

Predicting Daily Use of the Affected Upper Extremity 1 Year after Stroke
The ultimate goal of upper extremity (UE) stroke rehabilitation is for the individual with stroke to return using their arms and hands during daily activities in their own environment. No studies have monitored arm use as individuals with stroke transition from rehabilitation to the home setting. This longitudinal study compared the functional ability and daily use of the affected UE of individuals with stroke between discharge to home and 12 months after stroke and predicted the UE daily use 12 months after stroke.

Use of Stroke-Related Income Supplements and Predictors of Use in a Working-Aged Finnish Ischemic Stroke Cohort
Compared with the direct costs, the indirect costs of stroke may be larger contributors to the socioeconomic burden of stroke, and the need to better understand the indirect costs of stroke is well established. We investigated the indirect costs of stroke according to a novel outcome, the use of stroke-related income supplements, in a Finnish cohort of working-aged patients.

Acute Stroke Registry Malaysia, 2010-2014: Results from the National Neurology Registry
Background: Stroke remains a major health burden worldwide. The incidence and prevalence rates of stroke are decreasing in developed countries, an opposite trend is taking place in the Asia Pacific, where an increasing number of patients are being diagnosed with acute stroke. The results of the present study on acute stroke in multi-ethnic Malaysia will significantly contribute to the global stroke epidemiological data. We aimed to present epidemiological data of stroke including incidence and prevalence rates as well as associated risk factors from a prospective nationwide hospital-based registry from 2010 to 2014.

Atherosclerosis in Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment Subtypes among Young and Middle-Aged Stroke Patients: The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Ischemic stroke patients subtyped as of undetermined cause (SUC) usually outnumber those with determined cause subtypes. Etiological stroke classifications may lead to neglect of parallel, noncausative findings. Atherosclerosis progresses over decades and is associated with high morbidity and mortality in young stroke patients in long-term follow-up studies. We compared the prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis in all TOAST subtypes among young patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Acute Ischemic Stroke with Very Early Clinical Improvement: A National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator Stroke Trials Exploratory Analysis
A high proportion of patients excluded from recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) treatment because of rapid improvement occurring before treatment decision had incomplete recovery. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) rt-PA Stroke Trials dataset allows for systematic analyses of very early postrandomization improvement (VEPRIM) in stroke severity as a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was available for all subjects enrolled in the study at baseline (NIHSSB) and at 2 hours after randomization (NIHSS2H).
