Survival, Functional Status, and Eating Ability After Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube Placement for Acute Stroke
ConclusionIn this community‐based sample, individuals who had had a stroke and a PEG tube placed had high mortality, and survivors were unlikely to be functional or mobile or to recover eating ability after hospitalization. A palliative care discussion including goals of care should occur before PEG tube placement is considered.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of dabigatran versus rivaroxaban for stroke prevention in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation using real-world evidence in elderly US Medicare beneficiaries.
CONCLUSIONS: In this study using US Medicare real-world data, dabigatran was found to dominate rivaroxaban. The analyses were limited by the short follow-up period of the real-world data and results may not be generalizable to other patient populations.

Implications of stroke and bleeding risk-scores and comorbidities on episode-based bundled payments for patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.
CONCLUSION: NVAF patients accrue variable healthcare costs. Stroke and bleeding risk should be taken into account during the creation of NVAF payment bundles.

Guideline ‐concordant initiation of oral anticoagulant therapy for stroke prevention in older veterans with atrial fibrillation eligible for Medicare Part D
ConclusionsOne ‐third of elderly Veterans at risk of stroke are not receiving recommended therapy. Increased coordination between Medicare and VHA providers may lead to improvements in anticoagulation quality and stroke prevention.

Cost and Utility of Routine Contrast-Enhanced Neck MRA in a Pediatric MRI Stroke Evaluation Protocol PEDIATRICS
CONCLUSIONS:
In our large series, the addition of a routine contrast-enhanced neck MRA to our pediatric stroke MR imaging protocol was of extremely low yield. We believe the use of neck MRA should reasonably be limited to cases in which abnormalities are initially detected on standard brain sequences or to patients with atypical presentation or recurrent pathology.

Joint Latent Class Analysis of Oral Anticoagulation Use and Risk of Stroke or Systemic Thromboembolism in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
ConclusionLate initiators and late discontinuers had a higher risk of stroke or TE than continuous users. Early initiation and continuous OAC use is important in preventing stroke and TE among patients diagnosed with AF.

Atrial fibrillation and risk of stroke in dialysis patients
Abstract: Purpose: Both stroke and chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) are common in dialysis patients, but uncertainty exists in the incidence of new strokes and the risk conferred by chronic AF.Methods: A cohort of dually eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) incident dialysis patients was constructed. Medicare claims were used to determine the onset of chronic AF, which was specifically treated as a time-dependent covariate. Cox proportional hazards models were used to model time to stroke.Results: Of 56,734 patients studied, 5629 (9.9%) developed chronic AF. There were 22.8 ischemic and 5.0 hemorrhagic strokes per 1000 patient...

Rehabilitation Outcomes of Stroke Patients With and Without Diabetes
Conclusions: This study provides additional evidence that diabetes as a comorbidity is significantly related to stroke rehabilitation outcome, but the relation is moderated by patient age.

Risk Factors for Discharge to an Acute Care Hospital From Inpatient Rehabilitation Among Stroke Patients
Conclusion: Based on this research, we identified specific medical and functional health risk factors in the stroke population that affect the rate of discharge to an acute-care hospital. With active medical and functional management, early identification of these critical components may lead to the prevention of stroke patients from being discharged to an acute-care hospital from the inpatient rehabilitation setting.

Effect of clinical and social risk factors on hospital profiling for stroke readmission: a cohort study.
CONCLUSION: In the VA, more comprehensive models that included social risk and clinical factors did not affect hospital comparisons based on 30-day readmission rates.

Cost effectiveness of left atrial appendage closure versus Warfarin for stroke risk reduction in non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation in CMS patients
Stroke is the most severe and debilitating consequence of atrial fibrillation (AF), with many patients ranking the resultant disability as worse than death. Warfarin, the established first-line therapy, is effective at reducing ischemic stroke, but is associated with increased bleeding risk and lower quality of life (QoL). Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) with the Watchman Device has been found to be superior to warfarin at reducing risk of stroke in AF patients. This analysis sought to assess the cost effectiveness of LAAC versus warfarin for stroke prevention in non-valvular AF from the perspective of the US Centers ...
