Comparing ischaemic stroke in six European countries. The EuroHOPE register study
ConclusionsIt is feasible to link population‐wide register data amongst European countries to describe incidence of hospitalizations, treatment patterns and case fatality of ischaemic stroke on a national level. However, the coverage and validity of administrative register data for ischaemic stroke should be developed further, and population‐based and clinical stroke registers should be created to allow better control of case mix.

Implementation of a Dedicated Cardiovascular and Stroke Unit in a Crowded Emergency Department of a Tertiary Public Hospital in Brazil: Effect on Mortality Rates / Implementación de una Unidad Destinada a Ictus y Patología Cardiovascular (Unidad Vascular) en un Servicio de Urgencias Saturado de un Hospital Público Terciario en Brasil: Impacto en los Porcentajes de Mortalidad
ConclusionsThe vascular unit strategy has the potential to reduce overall mortality for most acute vascular conditions. Resumen IntroducciónLa atención del servicio de urgencias (SU) a las enfermedades vasculares agudas se enfrenta al reto de la saturación. Una unidad vascular es una unidad protocolizada y especializada en el SU con un equipo formado para el manejo de los trastornos vasculares agudos, que incluye el ictus, los síndromes coronarios, el embolismo de pulmón (EP) y las enfermedades aórticas. ObjetivosComparar las tasas de mortalidad para las enfermedades cardiovasculares seleccionadas antes y después d...

Risk of ischemic stroke with the use of risperidone, quetiapine and olanzapine in elderly patients: a population-based, case-crossover study
We conducted a case-crossover study to evaluate the comparative risk of ischemic stroke associated with the use of risperidone, quetiapine and olanzapine in geriatric patients using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database. Cases included elderly patients >64 years old who had experienced their first ischemic stroke (International Classification of Disease, Tenth Revision (ICD-10), I63) hospitalization from July 2005 to June 2006 and who had been without prior cerebrovascular diseases (ICD-10, I60–I69), or transient ischemic attack (ICD-10, G45). Exposures to risperidone, quetiapine and o...

Little evidence that cholinesterase inhibitors prevent progression of mild cognitive impairment to dementia, but they are associated with adverse effects
Question Question: How effective and safe are cholinesterase inhibitors for mild cognitive impairment? Outcomes: Progression to dementia or Alzheimer's disease (National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's disease and Related Disorders Association (NINDS-ARDRA), International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV criteria), dementia with Lewy bodies or vascular dementia (consensus criteria) at 12, 24 and 36 months and adverse events. Methods Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis. Data sources: Cochrane Dementia and Cogni...

Very long-term mortality after ischemic stroke: : predictors of cardiovascular death.
This study shows that age, male gender, stroke severity, hemorrhagic stroke, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, and right hemispheric stroke are predictors associated with increased risk of long-term cardiovascular mortality. Neither atrial fibrillation, antihypertensive treatment on admission, smoking, or living alone was risk factors for late cardiovascular deaths. PMID: 23190295 [PubMed - in process]
