Increasing comorbidity and health services utilization in older adults with prior stroke
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate the importance of community-based patient-centered care strategies for stroke survivors that address their range of health needs and prevent more costly acute care use.

Continuing or Temporarily Stopping Prestroke Antihypertensive Medication in Acute StrokeNovelty and Significance Stroke
Over 50% of patients are already taking blood pressure–lowering therapy on hospital admission for acute stroke. An individual patient data meta-analysis from randomized controlled trials was undertaken to determine the effect of continuation versus temporarily stopping preexisting antihypertensive medication in acute stroke. Key databases were searched for trials against the following inclusion criteria: randomized design; stroke onset ≤48 hours; investigating the effect of continuation versus stopping prestroke antihypertensive medication; and follow-up of ≥2 weeks. Two randomized controlled trials were identified a...

Does Prior Use of Beta Blockers Affect Functional Outcomes Post Ischemic Stroke Endovascular Intervention? (P5.296)
Conclusions:Prior use of beta blockers did not lead to better functional outcomes (MRS ≤2) in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing EVI. Findings should be further confirmed in larger population.Disclosure: Dr. Albadareen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gronseth has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for Neurology.

Blood pressure reduction in acute ischemic stroke according to time to treatment: a subgroup analysis of the China Antihypertensive Trial in Acute Ischemic Stroke trial
Objective: The optimal time to initiate antihypertensive therapy among patients with acute ischemic stroke remains uncertain. We tested the effects of blood pressure reduction among patients with acute ischemic stroke according to time from onset to initiation of antihypertensive treatment. Methods: We randomly assigned 4071 acute ischemic stroke patients with elevated SBP to receive antihypertensive treatment or to discontinue all antihypertensive medications during hospitalization. The primary outcome was a combination of death and major disability, and secondary outcomes included the modified Rankin score, recurrent st...

Serum Potassium Is Positively Associated With Stroke and Mortality in the Large, Population-Based Malmo Preventive Proȷect Cohort Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—Low serum potassium is associated with stroke in populations with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus but has not been studied in a mainly healthy population. We aimed to study the relation between serum potassium and incident stroke and mortality in the Malmö Preventive Project, a large cohort with screening in early mid-life and follow-up>25 years.Methods—Serum potassium measurements and covariates were available in 21 353 individuals (79% men, mean age 44 years). Mean follow-up time was 26.9 years for stroke analyses and 29.3 years for mortality analyses. There were ...

Impact of obstructive sleep apnea on cardiac organ damage in patients with acute ischemic stroke
Background and purpose: Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiac organ damage have a crucial role in acute ischemic stroke. Our aim is to explore the relationship between OSA and cardiac organ damage in acute stroke patients. Methods: A total of 130 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled. Patients underwent full multichannel 24-h polysomnography for evaluation of OSA and echocardiography to evaluate left ventricle (LV) mass index (LV mass/BSA, LV mass/height2.7), thickness of interventricular septum (IVS) and posterior wall (LVPW), LV ejection fraction and left atrium enlargement. Informat...

Change in CSF Dynamics Responsible for ICP Elevation After Ischemic Stroke in Rats: a New Mechanism for Unexplained END?
AbstractIt has been proposed that intracranial pressure (ICP) elevation and collateral failure are responsible for unexplained early neurological deterioration (END) in stroke. The study ’s aims were to investigate whether cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, rather than edema, are responsible for elevation of ICP after ischemic stroke. Permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) was induced with an intraluminal filament. At 24 h after stroke, baseline ICP was measured an d CSF dynamics were probed via a steady-state infusion method. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging wer...

Risk factors and pathogenic microorganism characteristics for pneumonia in convalescent patients with stroke: A retrospective study of 380 patients from a rehabilitation hospital
Stroke significantly impacts public health and ranks among the leading causes of death and disabilities, resulting in enormous costs measured in both health care resources and lost productivity. It results primarily from embolus or thrombosis for ischemic stroke and hypertension for hemorrhagic stroke, respectively [1]. In 2016, there were 5.5 million deaths and 116.4 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) owed to stroke [2]. As reported, the impact of stroke on the Chinese population is more severe compared to average global levels, and the prevalence of stroke continues to surpass that of ischemic heart disease [3 –4].

Chronic Kidney Disease and Risk of Stroke. Resolved Chronic Kidney Disease is A Biomarker Rather Than A Risk Factor for Stroke
Over the last approximate 15 years some have suggested that chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for stroke in and of itself. The assertion that CKD is a risk factor for stroke requires more scrutiny. It is possible that CKD is a reflection of severity of conditions such as hypertension and diabetes that are themselves among the most treatable risk factors for stroke or it is possible that the effects of CKD change vascular and related physiological functions and therefor directly contribute to increased risk of stroke and it is also possible that treatments for advance CKD such has hemodialysis could contribute t...

Causes of ischemic stroke in young adults versus non-young adults: A multicenter hospital-based observational study
CONCLUSIONS: Certain embolic sources and uncommon causes may be etiologically important causes of ischemic stroke in young adults. However, the contribution of conventional vascular risk factors and lifestyle-related risk factors is not negligible with advancing age, even in young adults.PMID:35830430 | DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0268481

Is the outpatient management of acute minor stroke feasible and safe?
Paul et al1 have assessed the clinical outcomes, early hospital admission rates and hospital care costs in clinic referred and hospital referred minor stroke patients in a prospective population based study. They did not find significant differences in the 30 day admission rate in clinic patients compared with the 30 day readmission rate after discharge in hospital treated patients (16/237 vs 9/150). The 30 day recurrent stroke risk in patients with minor ischaemic stroke was also similar in those discharged from clinic compared with hospital patients (3.8% vs 5.3%; p=0.61). The recurrent stroke risk remained similar in pa...

Association between Inflammatory Biomarkers and Progression of Intracranial Large Artery Stenosis after Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: In addition to traditional risk factors and baseline radiologic findings, circulating levels of IL-6 measured soon after stroke onset are associated with future ILA progression.

Trials to Improve Blood Pressure Through Adherence to Antihypertensives in Stroke/TIA: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Stroke
Conclusions Multifactorial interventions including a component to improve medication adherence can lower blood pressure after stroke/TIA. However, it is not possible to say whether or not this is achieved through better medication adherence. Trials are needed of well-characterized interventions to improve medication adherence and clinical outcomes with measurement along the hypothesized causal pathway.
