Predictors of Noticing Stroke Educational Campaign
Conclusions: Tobacco smokers in particular should be targeted by stroke awareness campaigns, for example, through health warning labels on cigarette packs. People with some stroke risk factors, such as heart disease and obesity, are responsive to information about stroke. Therefore, educational campaigns should target the groups with increased risk of stroke.

Rate of Stroke Death after Depression: A 40-year Longitudinal Study Extension of Chichester/Salisbury Catchment Area Study
Conclusions: These findings suggest that the identification of depressive symptoms at younger ages may have an impact on the primary prevention of stroke in later life. The notion that depression has stronger effects over a long period is consistent with a view that severe clinical depression and physical illness occur concurrently, one exacerbating the other, and health is degraded through slow-acting, cumulative processes. Data were unavailable for the type of stroke or the health-risk behaviors (smoking, diet, and so forth) in the cohort which constituted a limitation of the study. Neither is it known what proportion of...

Predicting Cardioembolic Stroke with the B-Type Natriuretic Peptide Test: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Background: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) in differentiating cardioembolic (CE) stroke from other subtypes of ischemic stroke.Methods: We searched the EMBASE, MEDLINE, and Cochrane databases and reference lists of relevant articles published in April 2013. We selected original studies reporting the performance of BNP or N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in diagnosing CE stroke and summarized test performance characteristics using forest plots, hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic curves, and bivariate random-e...

Intravenous Fibrinolysis Eligibility: A Survey of Stroke Clinicians' Practice Patterns and Review of the Literature
Conclusions: Most surveyed stroke clinicians seem to find that the current IV rtPA eligibility criteria for the 3-hour time frame too restrictive. All would recommend rtPA to eligible patients in the 3 to 4.5 hours time frame despite the absence of an U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved indication.

Prevalence of Triggering Factors in Acute Stroke: Hospital-Based Observational Cross-sectional Study
Although chronic risk factors for stroke are reasonably well understood, the acute precipitants, or triggers, of stroke relatively remain understudied. Identification of particular time periods during which stroke risk is elevated could prove a valuable strategy to reduce stroke incidence through the introduction of appropriate prevention strategies during a period of vulnerability. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of trigger factors in acute stroke patients and to investigate the association of the presence of trigger factors with initial stroke severity at presentation (National Institutes of Health ...

Barriers and Facilitators of Stroke Recovery: Perspectives From African Americans With Stroke, Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals
Introduction and Goal: Stroke is a serious health condition that disproportionally affects African-Americans relative to non-Hispanic whites. In the absence of clearly defined reasons for racial disparities in stroke recovery and subsequent stroke outcomes, a critical first step in mitigating poor stroke outcomes is to explore potential barriers and facilitators of poststroke recovery in African-American adults with stroke. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore poststroke recovery across the care continuum from the perspective of African-American adults with stroke, caregivers of African-American adults wi...

Clinical Characteristics of Driving-related Stroke Occurring as a Recurrent Stroke
Background: Although the number of seemingly healthy subjects who suffer a minor stroke increases, there are no data on how frequently they sustain another stroke while driving. Methods: A single-center, retrospective study was conducted to clarify the clinical characteristics of driving-related stroke occurring as a recurrent stroke by analyzing data prospectively acquired between January 2009 and June 2019 on 3452 acute stroke patients. Results: One hundred-thirty five patients (85 ischemic stroke [IS] and 50 hemorrhagic stroke [HS]) had suffered a driving-related stroke.

Stroke Awareness in Patients with Incident Stroke Compared to Patients without Stroke or Ischemic Heart Disease
Background: Stroke awareness is known to influence treatment seeking and risk reduction behavior, but there is limited data from Sri Lanka and South Asia. Aim: To describe stroke awareness in incident stroke patients and to compare with patients without stroke and/or ischemic heart disease (IHD) in a Sri Lankan tertiary-care center. Methods: We studied awareness of stroke in all incident stroke patients admitted to a tertiary-care center in Sri Lanka and compared with a group of age- and sex-matched patients without stroke and/or IHD, over 2 years.

Validity of stroke severity assessment using medical records in a population-based cohort
Initial stroke severity is an important prognostic factor for outcome after acute stroke, in terms of functional dependency, post-stroke dementia, and mortality.1,2 Whilst the majority of stroke patients who are admitted to the hospital with stroke have substantial neurological deficits, over half of all strokes that occur in the population qualify as minor stroke,3 and are managed often in outpatient care.4 Given the important differences between minor and major stroke in prognosis and management, it is important to distinguish patients on the basis of stroke severity, but assessment outside of specialised stroke centres ...

Predictors of quality of life at 6 months in patients with mild stroke: A prospective observational cohort study
Stroke can result in several functional impairments.1 Functional impairments could reduce the quality of life (QoL) to some extent in patients with stroke.2,3 Therefore, predicting factors affecting the QoL of patients with stroke is important for stroke rehabilitation. Notably, several studies have been conducted to predict factors affecting the QoL of patients with stroke.4 –10 These studies have reported that the QoL of patients with stroke was determined by age and sex,4 stroke type,5 stroke side,6 hospitalization period,7 and stroke severity.

Hospital Prenotification of Stroke Patients by Emergency Medical Services Improves Stroke Time Targets
Background: Prenotification to hospitals by emergency medical services of patients with suspected stroke is recommended to reduce delays in time-dependent therapies. We hypothesized that hospital prenotification would reduce recommended stroke time targets.Methods: We used the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) Brain Attack Database, which includes demographic and clinical data on all emergency department (ED) patients alerted as a Brain Attack between January 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. Outcome variables included the time from door to stroke team arrival, computed tomographic (CT) scan completion, CT scan inte...

Clinical Features and Functional Outcome of Stroke After Transient Ischemic Attack
Conclusions: Atherothrombotic stroke with concomitant vascular risk factors were more frequent in the stroke patients with than without previous TIA. Antithrombotic therapy was conducted only in one-third of the patients even after TIA. The stroke patients with history of TIA were at great risk of disabling stroke.
