Evaluating the Effect of Comprehensive Intervention on Cerebro-Vascular Function in Population at High Risk of Stroke
Background: Today there exists few intervention researches on cerebro-vascular function in populations at high risk of stroke in China. Methods: Patients more than 40 years old, with at least 1 of stroke risk factors were recruited from outpatient department in 3 hospitals. A quasi-experimental design was performed by assigning participants into 3 groups: comprehensive intervention group, health education group, and control group. Participants in the control group received no intervention but were informed of risk factors of stroke.

Urban Versus Rural Egypt: Stroke Risk Factors and Clinical Profile: Cross-Sectional Observational Study
Background: Egypt is a densely populated country with living habits and health care services that differ from urban to rural regions. We aimed to study how characteristics of stroke vary among these regions. Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study of ischemic stroke, thus hemorrhagic and venous strokes were excluded. A total of 1475 ischemic stroke patients were recruited for analysis from a tertiary hospital in Cairo representing urban area and from a secondary care hospital in Suhag representing rural region.

Health Care Use and Its Associated Factors 5-8 Years after Stroke
Objectives: To describe health care use and its associated factors in the chronic phase after stroke. Methods: Patients completed a questionnaire on health care use, 5-8 years after hospital admission for stroke. It comprised the number of visits to physicians or other health care professionals over the past 6 months (Physician-visits; Low ≤1 or High ≥2) and other health care professionals (Low = 0 or High ≥ 1). In addition the Longer-term Unmet Needs after Stroke (LUNS), Frenchay Activity Index (FAI) and Physical and Mental Component Summary Scales of the Short Form 12 (PCS and MCS) were administered.

The Association Between Stroke Mortality and Time of Admission and Participation in a Telestroke Network
Objectives: Acute ischemic stroke is one of the leading causes of death. Patient outcomes, such as in-patient mortality, may be impacted by the time of arrival to the hospital. Telestroke networks have been found to be effective and safe at treating acute ischemic strokes. This paper investigated the association between mortality and time of arrival and hospital's participation in a telestroke network. Methods: Data were collected on ischemic stroke patients who arrived at 15 nonteaching hospitals in Georgia's Paul Coverdell Acute stroke registry from 2009 to 2016.

Long-Term Mortality of Stroke Survivors in Parakou: 5-Year Follow-Up
Background: The burden of stroke is high in Africa, but few data are available on the long-term outcome of strokes in this area. Aim: We aimed to study the long-term outcome of stroke survivors in Parakou from 2012 to 2018. Methods of Study: It was a cohort study and included 247 stroke patients admitted to the University Hospital of Parakou from January 1, 2012 to April 30, 2018. Each patient was followed up for at least 1 year. The modified RANKIN scale was used to evaluate patients. Verbal autopsy was used to ascertain the cause of death.

Multicenter, retrospective analysis of endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke in nonagenarians
Background: With the increasing age of acute stroke patients being admitted to hospitals, more data are needed on indications, complications and outcome of endovascular treatment (EVT) in the very elderly. Methods: Retrospective observational study with data collection from Belgian, Swiss, Canadian comprehensive stroke centers and Swedish EVT National database. All patients with acute ischemic stroke were eligible if aged older than or ≥90 years and treated with EVT ± pretreatment with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).

A quantitative analysis of the effect of continuity of care on 30-day readmission and in-hospital mortality among patients with acute ischemic stroke
Ischemic stroke patients are predisposed to 30-day readmissions and mortality. An evaluation of readmission rates among patients with acute ischemic strokes from several studies highlighted that a 30-day readmission rate among Medicare beneficiaries are between 12.4% and 14.4%1,2 and there is a 2.5 fold increase risk of mortality among ischemic stroke patients readmitted within 30 days.3 Additionally, evidence suggest that up to 29% of rehospitalized patients with ischemic stroke were associated with inadequate outpatient continuum of care.

Pre-Hospital Delay in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke in a Multicenter Stroke Registry: K-PLUS
Many large clinical trials have recently demonstrated the effects of early reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke using the two-pronged strategy of tissue-plasminogen activator (t-PA) administration within 4.5 h and endovascular therapy within 24 h of onset.1–3 However, earlier initiation of these therapies is crucial to achieve better outcomes, especially when patients have insufficient collaterals or ischemia tolerability, as recommended by guidelines.4-7 Changes in hyperacute stroke treatment emph asize the need for earlier administration of therapy.

Understanding and informing community emergency cardiovascular disease preparedness during the COVID-19 pandemic: Stroke Ready
Acute stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) treatments are time sensitive. Early data revealed a decrease in presentation and an increase in pre-hospital delay for acute stroke and AMI during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Thus, we set out to understand community members ’ perception of seeking acute stroke and AMI care during the COVID-19 pandemic to inform strategies to increase cardiovascular disease preparedness during the pandemic.

Risk of Early Bleeding with Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Acute Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack Regardless of NIHSS Admission
Background: Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) is a therapeutic option for patients with minor ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA). No study has evaluated the incidence of early bleeding in patients with moderate to major ischemic stroke. The current study aimed to analyze both the frequency of early bleeding and hospital morbidity related to DAT for either acute IS or TIA regardless of admission National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis based on data collected from a prospective data bank of a single center.

Optimizing the Recognition and Treatment of In-Hospital Stroke: Evaluation of the 2CAN Score
Much research has been aimed at the timely detection of stroke in patients presenting to hospital emergency departments, for the purpose of ensuring prompt treatment of stroke by appropriate therapies. However, there is a paucity of literature dedicated to the detection of acute stroke in hospital inpatients.1,2

Impact of Arrhythmia in Hospital Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Northern Mexico
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death globally. 1 In Mexico, it represents the 6th cause of death2 and contributes with 688.19 DALYs per 100,000 people,3 constituting a major cause of burden of disease in the country. Heart rhythm dysfunctions following acute ischemic strokes (AIS) have been previously reported,4 –9 and it is expected that 25-30% of patients will be diagnosed with any type of arrhythmia after stroke.6,9 Kallmünze et al. reported the incidence of several post-stroke arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), focal atrial tachycardia, undetermined supraventricular tachycardia, ventricu la...
