Rates and reasons for hospital readmission after acute ischemic stroke in a US population-based cohort
We examined readmissions rates, diagnoses at readmission, and risk factors associated with readmission following acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in a large United States (US) administrative database. Using the 201 9 Nationwide Readmissions Database, we identified adults discharged with AIS (ICD-10-CM I63*) as the principal diagnosis. Survival analysis with Weibull accelerated failure time regression was used to examine variables associated with hospital readmission. In 2019, 273,811 of 285,451 AIS patients su rvived their initial hospitalization. Of these, 60,831 (22.2%) were readmitted within 2019. Based on Kaplan Meyer analy...

Hospital Discharge and Readmissions Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic for California Acute Stroke Inpatients
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, with approximately 795,000 new strokes occurring annually, including acute ischemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).1 The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all levels of care for stroke patients, such as delays in initial presentation, reduction in acute therapies, limitations of in-patient resources, delays or lack of initiation of secondary stroke prevention therapy, and limitations in rehabilitation services after hospital discharge.

Poststroke venous thromboembolism and neutrophil activation: an illustrated review
Res Pract Thromb Haemost. 2023 Apr 29;7(4):100170. doi: 10.1016/j.rpth.2023.100170. eCollection 2023 May.ABSTRACTPatients with acute ischemic stroke are at a high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), estimated to affect approximately 80,000 patients with stroke each year in the United States. The prevalence of symptomatic DVT after acute stroke is approximately 10%. VTE is associated with increased rates of in-hospital death and disability, with higher prevalence of in-hospital complications and increased 1-year mortality in patients with stroke. Current guidelines recommend the use of ...

Mechanisms of in-hospital acute ischemic stroke and their relevance to prognosis: A retrospective analysis
In-hospital stroke (IHS) refers to stroke that occurs during hospitalization in patients admitted for other diagnoses,1 of which ischemic stroke is the most common type, accounting for approximately 60% to 89%.2,3 IHS is common with approximately 35,000 to 75,000 patients having a stroke while hospitalized in the United States each year.4 The incidence of IHS tends to increase per year,5 resulting in a serious social burden. In-hospital ischemic strokes are widely distributed across various in-hospital departments.

MRI for all: Cheap portable scanners aim to revolutionize medical imaging
.news-article__hero--featured .parallax__element{ object-position: 47% 50%; -o-object-position: 47% 50%; } The patient, a man in his 70s with a shock of silver hair, lies in the neuro intensive care unit (neuro ICU) at Yale New Haven Hospital. Looking at him, you’d never know that a few days earlier a tumor was removed from his pituitary gland. The operation didn’t leave a mark because, as is standard, surgeons reached the tumor through his nose. He chats cheerfully with a pair of research associates who have come to check his progress with a new and potentially revolutionary device they are testing. The cylind...

New Data From Two Large Studies Reinforce Effectiveness of Dual Pathway Inhibition (DPI) with XARELTO ® (rivaroxaban) Plus Aspirin in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and/or Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
RARITAN, N.J., May 23, 2022 – Findings from the XARELTO® (rivaroxaban) Phase 3 COMPASS Long-Term Open Label Extension (LTOLE) study and the XARELTO® in Combination with Acetylsalicylic Acid (XATOA) registry have been published in the European Society of Cardiology’s (ESC) European Heart Journal, Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy. Additionally, the XATOA registry was presented at the American Congress of Cardiology’s 71st Annual Scientific Session (ACC.22). These studies provide further evidence supporting the role of dual pathway inhibition (DPI) with the XARELTO® vascular dose (2.5 mg twice daily plus aspirin 100 mg...

Annual Direct Cost of Dysphagia Associated with Acute Ischemic Stroke in the United States
Dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke is frequent and increases the risk of pneumonia, insertion of feeding tube, hospital length-of-stay and rates of discharge to institutional care. However, the financial impact of dysphagia after acute ischemic stroke is not well understood.

Pharmacists Act on Care Transitions in Stroke (PACT-Stroke): A Systems Approach
This study was a single-center, retrospective assessment of patients contacted by a pharmacist. All data were analyzed descriptively. Our initial evaluation of the Pharmacists Act on Care Transitions in Stroke (PACT-Stroke) service was to quantify and categorize drug-related problems (DRPs), which included drug selection, drug form, dose selection, treatment duration, dispensing, drug use process, patient-related problems, and other. Patients were included if they were adults who experienced an ischemic stroke. Exclusion criteria for this service included pediatric patients, patients with hemorrhagic strokes, patients with...

Current U.S. Guideline-Based Management Strategies for Special Clinical Situations Involving Hypertensive Crises: A Narrative Review of the Literature
Hypertensive crises, although somewhat rare in hypertensive patients, might become an increasingly relevant issue in the future as the number of adults living with hypertension in the United States increases. Many of the current U.S. clinical guidelines for the treatment and management of a variety of medical conditions do not factor hypertensive crises into their recommendations or only consider them in a limited fashion in the context of other medical conditions. This review article summarizes the definitions of hypertensive crises/urgent hypertension/emergent hypertension, the epidemiological profile and outcomes of pat...

The Effect of Medicare Shared Savings Program on Readmissions and Variations by Race/Ethnicity and Payer Status (December 9, 2020)
We examined the impact of hospital participation in the MSSP on 30-day readmissions for several groups of Medicare inpatients, and by race/ethnicity and payer status. Main Data Source: A 2010–2016 Medicare Provider Analysis and Review files. Research Design: With propensity score matched sample of MSSP and non-MSSP-participating hospitals, patient-level linear probability models with difference-in-differences approach were used to compare the changes in readmission rates for Medicare fee-for-service patients initially admitted for ischemic stroke, hip fracture, or total joint arthroplasty in MSSP-participat...
