Age- and gender-specific prevalence of risk factors in patients with first-ever ischemic stroke in china.
Conclusion. Our study showed that vascular risk factors had a specific age and gender distribution pattern in Chinese IS patients. Secondary prevention strategy should emphasize on the control of different risk factors based on patient's age and gender. PMID: 22762013 [PubMed]

Alteplase for Acute Ischemic Stroke: Outcomes by Clinically Important Subgroups in the Third International Stroke Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Among the types of patient in the Third International Stroke Trial, this secondary analysis did not identify any subgroups for whom treatment should be avoided. Given the limitations of the analysis, we found no clear evidence to avoid treatment in patients with prior ischemic stroke, diabetes mellitus, or hypertension.

Patients With Ischemic Stroke and Incident Atrial Fibrillation: A Nationwide Cohort Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Ischemic stroke was associated with a substantially increased risk of incident AF, particularly among individuals with higher CHADS2 or CHA2DS2-VASc scores. These risk scores seem to be simple tools for identifying patients at higher risk of incident AF after ischemic stroke.

Perceived Unmet Rehabilitation Needs 1 Year After Stroke: An Observational Study From the Swedish Stroke Register Brief Reports
Conclusions— Unfulfilled rehabilitation needs 1 year poststroke are common and associated with high age, dependency, pain, and depression. Long-term follow-up systems should, therefore, be comprehensive and address multiple domains of poststroke problems, rather than having a single-domain focus.

Effect of Right Insular Involvement on Death and Functional Outcome After Acute Ischemic Stroke in the IST-3 Trial (Third International Stroke Trial) Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—We found an association between right insular involvement and higher odds of death and worse functional outcome. The difference between right- and left-sided insular lesions on outcomes seemed to be most evident for mild/moderate strokes.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.isrctn.com. Unique identifier: ISRCTN25765518.

Determinants of Informal Care, Burden, and Risk of Burnout in Caregivers of Stroke Survivors Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—This study reveals the heavy burden borne by the caregivers of stroke survivors. Our analysis also identifies explanatory and predictive variables for the likelihood of receiving informal care, caregiver burden, and high risk of burnout.

Closure of Patent Foramen Ovale Versus Medical Therapy in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—In patients with cryptogenic stroke/TIA and PFO who have their PFO closed, ischemic stroke recurrence is less frequent compared with patients receiving medical treatment. Atrial fibrillation is more frequent but mostly transient. There is no difference in TIA, all-cause mortality, or myocardial infarction.

Elevated Plasma D-Dimer Level Is Associated With Short-Term Risk of Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Acute Heart Failure Brief Report
We examined 721 consecutive hospitalized AHF patients with plasma D-dimer level on admission from our prospective registry between January 2013 and May 2016. The study end points were incidence of ischemic stroke during hospitalization and at 30 days after admission.Results—Of the total participants (mean age, 76 years; male, 60%; atrial fibrillation, 54%; mean left ventricular ejection fraction, 38%), in-hospital ischemic stroke occurred in 18 patients (2.5%) during a median hospitalization period of 21 days, and 30-day ischemic stroke occurred in 16 patients (2.2%). Higher D-dimer level on admission was an independent ...

Risk factors for the development of chest infections in acute stroke: a systematic review.
CONCLUSION: Evidence has been comprehensively synthesized to provide reliable estimates of the association between important risk factors and chest infection. Monitoring patients meeting these criteria may promote early identification and treatment to improve long-term outcomes. PMID: 30028658 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Amino Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide, Secondary Stroke Prevention, and Choice of Antithrombotic Therapy Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— For secondary stroke prevention, elevated NT-proBNP concentrations may identify a subgroup of ischemic stroke patients without known atrial fibrillation, about 5% based on the current study, who may benefit more from anticoagulants than antiplatelet agents. Clinical Trial Registration— This trial was not registered because enrollment began before 2005.

Twelve-Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Genetic Risk Score Identifies Individuals at Increased Risk for Future Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— An AF-GRS can identify 20% of individuals who are at 2-fold increased risk for incident AF and at 23% increased risk for ischemic stroke. Targeting diagnostic or therapeutic interventions to this subset may prove clinically useful.

Ischemic Stroke Phenotype in Patients With Nonsustained Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Clinical features of patients with nonsustained AF exhibited an intermediary phenotype in between patients with persistent/paroxysmal AF and no AF. Furthermore, imaging features did not entirely resemble patterns observed in patients with longer durations of AF.

Diagnostic Work-Up for Detection of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation After Acute Ischemic Stroke: Cross-Sectional Survey on German Stroke Units Brief Reports
Conclusions— Our survey demonstrates substantial heterogeneity among German SUs on diagnostic work-up for pAF. Future prospective multicenter studies should systematically evaluate the impact of different methods to uncover pAF.
