Predicting the risk of stroke in patients with late-onset epilepsy: A machine learning approach
CONCLUSION: The stroke risk in patients with epilepsy was relatively high and could be predicted based on comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, heart failure, and alcohol dependence. Knowing and addressing these factors may help reduce the risk of stroke in patients with epilepsy.PMID:34325155 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2021.108211

The Application of the GP Model to Manage Controllable Risk Factors in Stroke Patients with Diabetes Can Effectively Improve the Prognosis and Reduce the Recurrence Rate
CONCLUSION: The application of the GP model to manage controllable risk factors in stroke patients with diabetes can effectively improve the prognosis and reduce the recurrence rate, which is worthy of clinical application and promotion.PMID:35966752 | PMC:PMC9374552 | DOI:10.1155/2022/5413985

Stroke prophylaxis in high-risk patients with atrial fibrillation: Rhythm vs. rate control strategy.
CONCLUSIONS: Anti-thrombotic prophylaxis in CHADS₂ ≥2 patients is different in subjects assigned to the Rhythm vs. the Rate control strategy, as well as reported reasons for warfarin non use. GPs do not know why warfarin is not used in a large percentage of cases, mainly in the rhythm control strategy group. Improving efforts should probably be differently tailored for patients assigned to the "rhythm" or the "rate" control strategy. PMID: 23474251 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sex differences in stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation in French primary care. Results of the AFIGP (Atrial Fibrillation In General Practice) Database
Conclusions Most AF patients followed by French GPs required stroke prevention according to European guidelines, but many of them did not receive the recommended antithrombotic treatment. Women over 75 were a third less likely to be treated with recommended anticoagulants than men of similar age.

Service factors causing delay in specialist assessment for TIA and minor stroke: a qualitative study of GP and patient perspectives
Conclusions Primary and emergency care providers need to review how they can best handle patients presenting with symptoms that could be due to stroke or TIA. In general practice, this may include receptionist training and/or triage by a nurse or doctor. Mechanisms need to be established to enable direct referral to the TIA clinic when patients whose symptoms have resolved present to other agencies. Further work is needed to improve diagnostic accuracy by non-specialists.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of different systolic blood pressure targets for people with a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack: Economic analysis of the PAST-BP study
Conclusion Aiming for a systolic blood pressure target of <130 mmHg or lower is cost effective in people who have had a stroke/transient ischaemic attack in the community, but it is difficult to separate out the impact of the lower target from the impact of more active management of blood pressure.

Early real-world evidence of persistence on oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a cohort study in UK primary care
Conclusions Observed differential prescribing of OACs can result in channelling bias in comparative effectiveness research. Persistence patterns changed over follow-up time, but there are indications of improved persistence rates with apixaban over other OACs in the UK. A larger study with longer follow-up is needed to corroborate findings. This study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02488421).

Quality of life after stroke: a longitudinal analysis of a cluster randomized trial
ConclusionAn individualized management program did not improve QoL over 24  months. Those who are older, female, with lower educational attainment, greater anxiety, depression and handicap may require greater support.Clinical trial registrationhttps://www.anzctr.org.au.

Cluster randomised controlled trial of screening for atrial fibrillation in people aged 70 years and over to reduce stroke: protocol for the pilot study for the SAFER trial
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia associated with 30% of strokes, as well as other cardiovascular disease, dementia and death. AF meets many criteria for screening, but there is limited evidence that AF screening reduces stroke. Consequently, no countries recommend national screening programmes for AF. The Screening for Atrial Fibrillation with ECG to Reduce stroke (SAFER) trial aims to determine whether screening for AF is effective at reducing risk of stroke. The aim of the pilot study is to assess feasibility of the main trial and inform implementation of screening and trial procedures. Metho...
