Stroke Education for Multidisciplinary Medical Personnel in a Rural Area of Japan for Promotion of Hospital Visit of Acute Stroke Patients
Conclusions: Our stroke education method using the FAST mnemonic designed for multidisciplinary medical personnel improved their stroke knowledge. Reorganization of the management of acute stroke and greater stroke knowledge for medical staff are necessary to increase the visits of acute stroke patients in the rural areas.

Cause-specific Mortality after Stroke: Relation to Age, Sex, Stroke Severity, and Risk Factors in a 10-Year Follow-up Study
We investigated cause-specific mortality in relation to age, sex, stroke severity, and cardiovascular risk factor profile in the Copenhagen Stroke Study cohort with 10 years of follow-up. In a Copenhagen community, all patients admitted to the hospital with stroke during 1992-1993 (n = 988) were registered on admission. Evaluation included stroke severity, computed tomography scan, and a cardiovascular risk profile. Cause of death within 10 years according to death certificate information was classified as stroke, heart/arterial disease, or nonvascular disease. Competing-risks analyses were performed by cause-specific Co...

CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc Scores for Prediction of Immediate and Late Stroke after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Conclusions: A significant number of patients may suffer stroke late after CABG, and patients with a high risk of stroke can be identified by CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores independently from the presence of pre- or postoperative atrial fibrillation.

Prestroke Alcohol Consumption and Smoking Are Not Associated with Stroke Severity, Disability at Discharge, and Case Fatality
Conclusion: Despite being risk factors, prestroke smoking and alcohol consumption do not have a significant influence on stroke severity and on short- and long-term outcome.

Poor Recognition of Prompted Treatment Seeking Even with Good Knowledge of Stroke Warning Signs Contribute to Delayed Arrival of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients in Thailand
In conclusion, good knowledge of stroke warning signs, most severe stroke, onset at workplace, onset during daytime, and ambulance for transportation are not associated with early arrival within 4.5-hours time window. However, sudden-onset nature and prompted treatment seeking may predict early arrival.

Impact of the 1425G/A Polymorphism of PRKCH on the Recurrence of Ischemic Stroke: Fukuoka Stroke Registry
Conclusions: The 1425G/A polymorphism in PRKCH is not a significant predictor of stroke recurrence in patients with acute ischemic stroke during a 2-year follow-up period.

Factors Related to Knowledge of Stroke Symptoms and Risk Factors in a Norwegian Stroke Population
Conclusions: Knowledge of stroke symptoms and risk factors in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease seems to be insufficient. Further educational efforts are needed, as better knowledge may improve prevention of stroke and increase the number of patients who can receive thrombolysis.

Aspirin Treatment Failure and the Risk of Recurrent Stroke and Death Among Patients with Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: In a post-hoc analysis of 2 randomized ischemic stroke trials, aspirin treatment failure was not found to be associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke or death.

Are Racial Disparities in Stroke Care Still Prevalent in Certified Stroke Centers?
Racial differences in stroke risk and risk factor prevalence are well established. The present study explored racial differences in the delivery of care to patients with acute stroke between Joint Commission (JC)-certified hospitals and noncertified hospitals. A retrospective chart review was conducted in patients sustaining ischemic stroke admitted to 5 JC-certified centers and 5 noncertified hospitals. Demographic data, risk factors, utilization of acute stroke therapies, and compliance with core measures were recorded. Racial disparities were investigated in the entire group as well as for JC-certified and noncertified ...

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.

Stroke Size Correlates with Functional Outcome on the Simplified Modified Rankin Scale Questionnaire
Background: Acute stroke size is one of the factors impacting functional outcome. To further validate the simplified modified Rankin Scale questionnaire (smRSq), we tested its correlation with stroke size.Methods: We screened 60 ischemic stroke patients with acute brain images available for stroke volume measurement who were enrolled in 2 smRSq reliability studies. Inclusion criteria were acute ischemic stroke visible on computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the smRSq scored at least 3 months after stroke. We excluded patients with disabilities from a previous stroke. One investigator who was bli...
