SenseWear Armband and Stroke: Validity of Energy Expenditure and Step Count Measurement during Walking.
Authors: Manns PJ, Haennel RG Abstract The purpose of this study was to test the validity of the SenseWear Pro Armband (SWA) for the measurement of energy expenditure (EE) and step count against a criterion in persons with stroke. Twelve participants with chronic stroke (mean age 64.2 ± 10.4 years; mean gait speed 0.67 ± 0.25 m/sec) completed two trials of a six-minute walk test, while wearing a SenseWear Armband (SWA) on each arm and being continuously monitored using a portable metabolic cart. Agreement between estimates of energy expenditure from the SWA and the metabolic cart was fair for the armband on the...

Stroke Outcomes Measures Must Be Appropriately Risk Adjusted to Ensure Quality Care of Patients: A Presidential Advisory From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Presidential Advisory
This article details (1) why the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services acute ischemic stroke outcome measures in their present form may not provide adequate risk adjustment, (2) why the measures as currently designed may lead to inaccurate representation of hospital performance and have the potential for serious unintended consequences, (3) what activities the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association has engaged in to highlight these concerns to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and other interested parties, and (4) alternative approaches and opportunities that should be considered for m...

Analyzing Cost-Effectiveness of Allocating Neurointerventionist for Drive and Retrieve System for Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
The cost of stroke treatment accounts for approximately 6% of Japan's national medical expenditure,1 and stroke is the second most common condition, after dementia, that results in a requirement for long-term care. Thus, stroke has a significant impact on society.2 Cerebral infarction accounts for 60% or more of stroke cases.3 Systematic provision of highly equitable and efficient treatment for cerebral infarction is an important policy issue, such as the enactment of the Stroke and Cardiovascular Disease Control Act in December 2018 in Japan, as part of an effort to enhance provision of treatment for cerebral infarction.

Cost Burden and Cost-Effective Analysis of the Nationwide Implementation of the Quality in Acute Stroke Care Protocol in Australia
Stroke is the third global leading cause of death and disability.1,2 In Australia, stroke accounts for 3% of the total burden of disease and 5% of all deaths, with 36,700 incident strokes annually.3 Healthcare expenditure for stroke in Australia in 2017 was AUD 663 million.4

Do Reduced Copayments Affect Mortality after Surgery due to Stroke? An Interrupted Time Series Analysis of a National Cohort Sampled in 2003-2012
The South Korean government introduced a policy in 2 phases, in September 2005 and in January 2010, for reducing copayments for patients with critical diseases, including stroke, to prevent excessive medical expenditures and to ease economic barriers. Previous studies of the effect of this policy were focused primarily on cancer. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between this policy and 1-year mortality after surgery among patients with stroke.

Nationwide Healthcare Expenditures among Hypertensive Individuals with Stroke: 2003-2014
Of all the various clinical entities, hypertension is arguably most strongly linked to the occurrence of stroke. However, the impact of stroke on health-care expenditures in patients with hypertension has not been previously evaluated.

Healthcare expenditure trends among adult stroke patients in the United States, 2011-2020
In the US, between 2018 and 2019, approximately $57 billion were expended on stroke and related conditions. The aim of this study was to understand trends in direct healthcare expenditures among stroke patients using novel cost estimation methods and a nationally representative database.

Metabolic Energy Expenditure and Accelerometer-Determined Physical Activity Levels in Post-Stroke Hemiparetic Patients
Assessment of metabolic energy expenditure in post-stroke patients using accelerometers is clinically important. However, understanding of the best placement of accelerometers on the body and methods for calculating activity counts are limited.

Abstract 205: Stroke Risk and Symptom Recognition Post Cardiac Catheterization Session Title: Poster Session PM
Over 1.4 million cardiac catheterization procedures (CCPs) take place yearly. CPP related stroke incidence in 1973 was reported as 0.23%. CCPs are invasive in nature with complications occurring due to unintentional trauma to preexisting atherosclerotic aortic plaques or thrombus formation at catheter/guidewire tips. Less common causes of ischemic stroke are air, left ventricular clot, hypotension, arterial dissection, fractured guidewire. Transient neurological deficits have been reported following high-osmolar contrast injection into carotid/vertebral arteries. With improved practice, current stroke incidence is 0.06%. P...

China stroke surveillance report 2021
AbstractSince 2015, stroke has become the leading cause of death and disability in China, posing a significant threat to the health of its citizens as a major chronic non-communicable disease. According to the China Stroke High-risk Population Screening and Intervention Program, an estimated 17.8 million [95% confidence interval (CI) 17.6 –18.0 million] adults in China had experienced a stroke in 2020, with 3.4 million (95% CI 3.3–3.5 million) experiencing their first-ever stroke and another 2.3 million (95% CI 2.2–2.4 million) dying as a result. Additionally, approximately 12.5% (95% CI 12.4–12.5%) of stroke survi...

Epidemiology of stroke and transient ischemic attacks: Current knowledge and perspectives.
Authors: Béjot Y, Daubail B, Giroud M Abstract Because of the growing size and aging of the world's population, the global burden of stroke is increasing dramatically. Current epidemiological data indicate that 16.9million people suffer a stroke each year, which represents a global incidence of 258/100,000/year, with marked differences between high- and low-income countries, and an age-adjusted incidence 1.5 times higher in men than in women. Although primary prevention has contributed to a decrease in stroke incidence in high-income countries, the so-called 'epidemiological transition' has led to an increase in i...

Current State of Stroke Care in the Philippines
Stroke remains the leading cause of disability and death in the Philippines. Evaluating the current state of stroke care, the needed resources, and the gaps in health policies and programs is crucial to decrease stroke-related mortality and morbidity effectively. This paper aims to characterize the Philippines' stroke system of care and network using the World Health Organization health system building blocks framework. To integrate existing national laws and policies governing stroke and its risk factors dispersed across many general policies, the Philippine Department of Health (DOH) institutionalized a national policy f...

The One-Year Attributable Cost of Post-stroke Dysphagia
This study sought to address this issue by examining the 1-year cost associated with a diagnosis of dysphagia post-stroke in South Carolina. Furthermore, this study investigated whether ethnicity and residence differences exist in the cost of dysphagia post-stroke. Data on 3,200 patients in the South Carolina Medicare database from 2004 who had ICD-9 codes for ischemic stroke, 434 and 436, were retrospectively included in this study. Differences between persons with and without dysphagia post-stroke were compared with respect to age, gender, ethnicity, mortality, length of stay, comorbidity, rurality, discharge disposition...
