Loci associated with ischaemic stroke and its subtypes (SiGN): a genome-wide association study
Publication date: Available online 19 December 2015 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): NINDS Stroke Genetics Network (SiGN)International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) Background The discovery of disease-associated loci through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is the leading genetic approach to the identification of novel biological pathways underlying diseases in humans. Until recently, GWAS in ischaemic stroke have been limited by small sample sizes and have yielded few loci associated with ischaemic stroke. We did a large-scale GWAS to identify additional susceptibility genes for stroke and its subtypes. ...

Identification of additional risk loci for stroke and small vessel disease: a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies
Publication date: Available online 7 April 2016 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Neurology Working Group of the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology (CHARGE) ConsortiumStroke Genetics Network (SiGN)International Stroke Genetics Consortium (ISGC) Background Genetic determinants of stroke, the leading neurological cause of death and disability, are poorly understood and have seldom been explored in the general population. Our aim was to identify additional loci for stroke by doing a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies. Methods For the discovery sample, we did a genome-wide analys...

Incidence and prevalence of dementia associated with transient ischaemic attack and stroke: analysis of the population-based Oxford Vascular Study
Publication date: March 2019Source: The Lancet Neurology, Volume 18, Issue 3Author(s): Sarah T Pendlebury, Peter M Rothwell, Oxford Vascular StudySummaryBackgroundRisk of dementia after stroke is a major concern for patients and carers. Reliable data for risk of dementia, particularly after transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke, are scarce. We studied the risks of, and risk factors for, dementia before and after transient ischaemic attack and stroke.MethodsThe Oxford Vascular Study is a prospective incidence study of all vascular events in a population of 92 728 people residing in Oxfordshire, UK. Patients with tran...

Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation after stroke and transient ischaemic attack: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 4 March 2015 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Luciano A Sposato , Lauren E Cipriano , Gustavo Saposnik , Estefanía Ruíz Vargas , Patricia M Riccio , Vladimir Hachinski Background Among patients with atrial fibrillation, the risk of stroke is highest for those with a history of stroke; however, oral anticoagulants can lower the risk of recurrent stroke by two-thirds. No consensus has been reached about how atrial fibrillation should be investigated in patients with stroke, and its prevalence after a stroke remains uncertain. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimat...

Global burden of stroke and risk factors in 188 countries, during 1990–2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013
Publication date: Available online 9 June 2016 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Valery L Feigin, Gregory A Roth, Mohsen Naghavi, Priya Parmar, Rita Krishnamurthi, Sumeet Chugh, George A Mensah, Bo Norrving, Ivy Shiue, Marie Ng, Kara Estep, Kelly Cercy, Christopher J L Murray, Mohammad H Forouzanfar Background The contribution of modifiable risk factors to the increasing global and regional burden of stroke is unclear, but knowledge about this contribution is crucial for informing stroke prevention strategies. We used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) to estimate the populati...

Timing of anticoagulation after recent ischaemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
Publication date: Available online 8 November 2018Source: The Lancet NeurologyAuthor(s): David J Seiffge, David J Werring, Maurizio Paciaroni, Jesse Dawson, Steven Warach, Truman J Milling, Stefan T Engelter, Urs Fischer, Bo NorrvingSummaryBackgroundAbout 13–26% of all acute ischaemic strokes are related to non-valvular atrial fibrillation, the most common cardiac arrhythmia globally. Deciding when to initiate oral anticoagulation in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation is a longstanding, common, and unresolved clinical challenge. Although the risk of early recurrent ischaemic stroke is high in this population,...

Prevalence of patent foramen ovale in cryptogenic transient ischaemic attack and non-disabling stroke at older ages: a population-based study, systematic review, and meta-analysis
Publication date: Available online 7 June 2018 Source:The Lancet Neurology Author(s): Sara Mazzucco, Linxin Li, Lucy Binney, Peter M Rothwell Background Percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been shown to be superior to medical treatment alone for prevention of recurrent stroke after cryptogenic transient ischaemic attack or non-disabling stroke in patients aged 60 years or younger. The justification for trials in older patients with transient ischaemic attack or stroke depends on whether PFO is shown to be associated with cryptogenic events at older ages, for which existing evidence is conflicting, and o...

Mobile stroke units for prehospital thrombolysis, triage, and beyond: benefits and challenges
Publication date: March 2017 Source:The Lancet Neurology, Volume 16, Issue 3 Author(s): Klaus Fassbender, James C Grotta, Silke Walter, Iris Q Grunwald, Andreas Ragoschke-Schumm, Jeffrey L Saver In acute stroke management, time is brain. Bringing swift treatment to the patient, instead of the conventional approach of awaiting the patient's arrival at the hospital for treatment, is a potential strategy to improve clinical outcomes after stroke. This strategy is based on the use of an ambulance (mobile stroke unit) equipped with an imaging system, a point-of-care laboratory, a telemedicine connection to the hospital, and ap...
