Risk Factors, Subtypes, and Outcome of Ischemic Stroke in Kuwait: A National Study
Epidemiological studies of stroke burden in Kuwait are scarce. We aimed to identify the risk factors, subtypes, and outcome of ischemic stroke in the 6 major hospitals in Kuwait between 2008 and 2013.

Sex-Related Differences in the Risk of Hospital-Acquired Sepsis and Pneumonia Post Acute Ischemic Stroke
Infectious complications after ischemic stroke are frequent and lead to neurological deterioration, poor functional outcomes, and higher mortality. Local and systemic inflammatory responses to brain ischemia differ between males and females, but little is known about differences in poststroke susceptibility to infection by sex. The purpose of this study was to compare sex-related differences in the risk of hospital-acquired sepsis and pneumonia after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Effectiveness of Goal-Setting Telephone Follow-Up on Health Behaviors of Patients with Ischemic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Adopting healthy behaviors is critical for secondary stroke prevention, but many patients fail to follow national guidelines regarding diet, exercise, and abstinence from risk factors. Compliance often decreases with time after hospital discharge, yet few studies have examined programs promoting long-term adherence to health behaviors. Goal setting and telephone follow-up have been proven to be effective in other areas of medicine, so this study evaluated the effectiveness of a guideline-based, goal-setting telephone follow-up program for patients with ischemic stroke.

Ambulatory Status Protects against Venous Thromboembolism in Acute Mild Ischemic Stroke Patients
Ischemic stroke patients are at high risk (up to 18%) for venous thromboembolism. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study to understand the predictors of acute postmild ischemic stroke patient's ambulatory status and its relationship with venous thromboembolism, hospital length of stay, and in-hospital mortality.

Ischemic Stroke Risk After Acute Coronary Syndrome Stroke
BackgroundPrior studies show an increased risk of ischemic stroke (IS) after myocardial infarction; however, there is limited evidence on long‐term risk and whether it is directly related to cardiac injury. We hypothesized that the risk of IS after acute coronary syndrome is significantly higher if there is evidence of cardiac injury, such as ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non‐STEMI, than when there is no evidence of cardiac injury, such as in unstable angina.Methods and ResultsAdministrative claims data were obtained from all emergency department encounters and hospitalizations at California's...

Thrombolysis with tPA 3-4.5 h after acute ischemic stroke in 5 hospital groups in Japan
Clinical data from Japan on the safety and realworld outcomes of alteplase (tPA) thrombolysis in the extended therapeutic window are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the safety and real-world outcomes of tPA administered within 3-4.5 h of stroke onset. The study comprised consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients (n = 177) admitted across five hospitals between September 2012 and August 2014. Patients received intravenous tPA within

Outcome of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) for acute ischemic stroke in Thailand
【Background】Acute ischemic stroke is the major problem of Thailand and many countries. The standard treatment of acute ischemic stroke in Thailand is rt-PA within 4.5 hours in the hospital.

Googling Service Boundaries for Endovascular Clot Retrieval Hub Hospitals in a Metropolitan Setting Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—There is great interest in how endovascular clot retrieval hubs provide services to a population. We applied a computational method to objectively generate service boundaries for such endovascular clot retrieval hubs, defined by traveling time to hub.Methods—Stroke incidence data merged with population census to estimate numbers of stroke in metropolitan Melbourne, Australia. Traveling time from randomly generated addresses to 4 endovascular clot retrieval–capable hubs (Royal Melbourne Hospital [RMH], Monash Medical Center [MMC], Alfred Hospital [ALF], and Austin Hospital [AUS]) estimated using...
