Endovascular therapeutic hypothermia for acute ischemic stroke: ICTuS 2/3 protocol
Therapeutic hypothermia improves neurological outcome after out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest or neonatal hypoxic–ischemic injury. Although supported by preclinical evidence, therapeutic hypothermia for acute stroke remains under study. In the Intravascular Cooling in the Treatment of Stroke (ICTuS) trial, awake stroke patients were successfully cooled using an endovascular cooling catheter and a novel antishivering regimen. In the ICTuS‐L study, the combination of endovascular hypothermia and thrombolysis proved feasible; while hypothermia was associated with no increased risk of bleeding complications, there was an ...

Preceding and Poststroke Infections in Young Adults With First-Ever Ischemic Stroke: Effect on Short-Term and Long-Term Outcomes Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In young patients with ischemic stroke, both PI and PSIs are associated with unfavorable short-term outcome. PSIs are also associated with higher long-term mortality.

Preventable Readmissions Within 30 Days of Ischemic Stroke Among Medicare Beneficiaries Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— On the basis of Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Prevention Quality Indicators, we found that a small proportion of readmissions after ischemic stroke were classified as preventable. Although other causes of readmissions not reflected in the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality measures could also be avoidable, hospital-level programs intended to reduce all-cause readmissions and costs should target high-risk patients.

Infections Present on Admission Compared with Hospital-Acquired Infections in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Background: To date, few studies have assessed the influence of infections present on admission (POA) compared with hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) on neurologic deterioration (ND) and other outcome measures in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods: Patients admitted with AIS to our stroke center (July 2010 to December 2010) were retrospectively assessed. The following infections were assessed: urinary tract infection, pneumonia, and bacteremia. Additional chart review was performed to determine whether the infection was POA or HAI. We assessed the relationship between infections in ischemic stroke patients and several o...

Ischemic Strokes in Pakistan: Observations from the National Acute Ischemic Stroke Database
Conclusions: Hypertension and dyslipidemia were the most common risk factors and large vessel atherosclerosis was the most common stroke etiology. Elderly patients were significantly more likely to have in-hospital complications, die during their hospital stay, and have a higher mRS score at discharge.

Articles Prophylactic antibiotics after acute stroke for reducing pneumonia in patients with dysphagia (STROKE-INF): a prospective, cluster-randomised, open-label, masked endpoint, controlled clinical trial
Antibiotic prophylaxis cannot be recommended for prevention of post-stroke pneumonia in patients with dysphagia after stroke managed in stroke units.

Stroke-Associated Pneumonia Risk Score: Validity in a French Stroke Unit
Stroke-associated pneumonia is a leading cause of in-hospital death and post-stroke outcome. Screening patients at high risk is one of the main challenges in acute stroke units. Several screening tests have been developed, but their feasibility and validity still remain unclear.

Impact of immediate post-reperfusion cooling on outcome in patients with acute stroke and substantial ischemic changes
Conclusions The use of post-reperfusion cooling as a rescue treatment in patients with substantial ischemia at baseline might improve clinical outcome.

The Mortality and the Risk of Aspiration Pneumonia Related with Dysphagia in Stroke Patients
Background: Dysphagia may result in poor outcomes in stroke patients due to aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition. Goal: The aim of the study was to investigate aspiration pneumonia and the mortality rate in stroke patients with dysphagia in Taiwan. Methods: We selected 1220 stroke patients, divided them into dysphagia and nondysphagia groups, and matched them according to age; covariates and comediations from 2000 to 2005 were identified from the NHIRD 2000 database. The date of the diagnosed stroke for each patient was defined as the index date.

Association Between Oral Anticoagulants and Stroke Severity at Onset in Elderly Patients with Cardioembolic Stroke Due to Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
The prevention of cardioembolic stroke is an important public health priority in Japan due to its high prevalence in elderly individuals. Compared to their younger counterparts, elderly patients with cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have multiple comorbidities, a higher risk of serious complications, such as pneumonia and heart failure, and cognitive impairments (e.g., dementia or delirium), which may adversely affect their ability to participate in active rehabilitation. These factors negatively affect clinical outcomes, and many elderly stroke survivors require long-term care despite the early implementation of intensive therapy.

Association of underlying untreated cardiovascular risk factors with mortality and functional outcome in ischaemic stroke patients
Stroke is the third leading cause of death after ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and pneumonia in Malaysia.1 Aziz et al. reported that Malaysia's prevalence of ischaemic stroke had increased from 42.8 to 118.7 in 100,000 from 2010 to 2014. The report showed that 8-11% of ischaemic stroke patients died within 30 days while 56-61% survived with significant disability in Malaysia.2 Our previous study showed that patients with ischaemic stroke in Malaysia were younger, but the mortality rate was higher than in other countries.

Tracheostomy Timing Affects Stroke Recovery
We examined the timing of tracheostomy on stroke patient outcomes across the United States using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (2008-2010). Independent samples t tests and chi-squared tests were used to make comparisons between early (≤10 days) and late (11-25 days) tracheostomy. Multivariable models, adjusted for confounding factors, investigated outcome measures.Results: In total, 13,165 stroke cases were included in the study (5591 in the ET group and 7574 in the LT group). Patients receiving an ET had a significant reduction in the odds of ventilator-associated pneumonia in comparison with the LT group (OR: .688,...
