National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Correlates Well with Initial Intracerebral Hemorrhage Volume
The US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) currently publicly reports hospital-quality, risk-adjusted mortality measure for ischemic stroke but not intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The NIHSS, which is captured in CMS administrative claims data, is a candidate metric for use in ICH risk adjustment and has been shown to predict clinical outcome with accuracy similar to the ICH Score. Correlation between early NIHSS and initial ICH volume would further support use of the NIHSS for ICH risk adjustment.

Outcomes of stroke events during transcatheter aortic valve implantation
CONCLUSIONS: Among Medicare beneficiaries undergoing TAVI, procedure-related ischaemic stroke was associated with worse outcomes, increased Medicare expenditures, and less time spent at home. Procedure-related ischaemic stroke during TAVI remains a critically important and potentially preventable source of patient mortality, morbidity and healthcare utilisation.PMID:35135749 | DOI:10.4244/EIJ-D-21-00951

Factors associated with mental health service access among Australian community-dwelling survivors of stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Many stroke survivors have untreated depression/anxiety. Primary care practitioners should be supported in undertaking effective detection and management. Older and newly diagnosed individuals should be educated about depression/anxiety and available supports.Implications for rehabilitationPrimary care providers play a pivotal role in the pathway to mental health care, and therefore should always screen for depression/anxiety and provide comprehensive assessment and referral to specialist services where necessary.Targeted psychoeducation should be provided to survivors of stroke who are older and newly diagnos...

Recurrent intracerebral hemorrhage in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy: a propensity-matched case –control study
The objective of our study was to compare the readmission rates for recurrent ICH, SAH, and AIS among patients admitted for ICH with and without CAA.MethodsUsing the National Readmissions Database 2016 –2018 we identified patients admitted for ICH with and without a concomitant diagnosis of CAA. Primary outcome of the study was readmission due to ICH. Secondary outcomes included readmissions due to AIS and SAH. Survival analysis was performed, and Kaplan–Meier curves were created to assess for readmissions.ResultsThe study consisted of 194,290 patients with ICH, 8247 with CAA and 186,043 without CAA as a concomitant di...

Impact of Modified Cardiac Rehabilitation Within a Stroke Recovery Program on All-Cause Hospital Readmissions
Conclusion Acute care hospital readmissions were reduced in stroke survivors who participated in SRP. Future study is warranted to examine whether widespread application of a similar program may improve quality of life and decrease cost.
