First-Ever Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack Incidence and 30-Day Case-Fatality Rates in a Population-Based Study in Argentina Brief Reports
Conclusions— This study provides the first prospective population-based stroke and TIA incidence and case-fatality estimate in Argentina. First-ever stroke incidence was lower than that reported in previous Latin-American studies, but first-ever TIA incidence was higher. Thirty-day case-fatality rates were similar to those of other population-based Latin-American studies.

Seasonal Variation and Trends in Stroke Hospitalizations and Mortality in a South American Community Hospital
Numerous studies have reported the presence of temporal variations in biological processes. Seasonal variation (SV) in stroke has been widely studied, but little data have been published on this phenomenon in the Southern Hemisphere, and there have been no studies reported from Argentina. The goals of the present study were to describe the SV of admissions and deaths for stroke and examine trends in stroke morbidity and mortality over a 3-year period in a community hospital in Argentina. Hospital discharge reports from the electronic database of vital statistics between 1999 and 2001 were examined retrospectively. Patients...

Program for the epidemiological evaluation of stroke in Tandil, Argentina (PREVISTA) study: rationale and design
The availability of population‐based epidemiological data on the incident risk of stroke is very scarce in Argentina and other Latin American countries. In response to the priorities established by the World Health Organization and the United Nations, PREVISTA was envisaged as a population‐based program to determine the risk of first‐ever and recurrent stroke and transient ischemic attack incidence and mortality in Tandil, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The study will be conducted according to Standardized Tools for Stroke Surveillance (STEPS Stroke) methodology and will enroll all new (incident) and recurrent consecutive ...

Perception Of Stroke Symptoms And Utilization Of Emergency Medical Systems In Argentina (P7.132)
CONCLUSIONS:These results suggest a low level of stroke symptoms awareness in our country even in a population of middle/high socioeconomic level. The role and procedures of EMS in Argentina should be revised as early arrival and treatment appear to be associated with no utilization of them.Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Hawkes has nothing to disclose.

From Buenos Aires to Boston for pediatric stroke care
Twice a year, Osvaldo and Sol board a plane in Buenos Aires, Argentina. For a week or more, they leave behind their home, their friends, their jobs — and, sometimes, their two daughters, Ines and Clara. But what waits for them, a continent away, is worth it. In Boston, they say, they have found expert care for their son, Francisco. “Francisco was perfectly fine when he was born,” says Sol. “But two days later, we were having trouble waking him up.” Although initially doctors assured the family that his behavior was normal, they quickly transferred him to the neonatal intensive care unit when he began having diffi...

Predictive factors for the development of epilepsy after ischemic stroke
In Argentina, each year approximately 50,000 people suffer an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke1 and 340,000 people over 40 years old live with a history of stroke.2 The advent of therapies such as thrombolysis and thrombectomy achieved a substantial reduction in morbidity and mortality.3 In addition, stroke survivors have an increased risk of spontaneous seizures and the number of people who have survived a stroke but have motor, visual or cognitive sequelae is high.4 Post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) is a condition where seizures occur more than 7 days after stroke, with a high risk of recurrent unprovoked seizures over the subsequent 10-years.

Incidence and case-fatality rate of stroke in General Villegas, Buenos Aires, Argentina. The EstEPA population study
Stroke epidemiology varies among different populations. Ethnicity, socioeconomic factors and local standards for risk factors management may explain, at least in part, this phenomenon.1 Burden of stroke is particularly high in low- and middle-income countries such as those in Latin America2, and it is expected to grow driven by aging of the general population, the high prevalence of vascular risk factors and overall declining stroke mortality.3 Latin America is a diverse region in terms of social, cultural and economic aspects.

Prevalence of Fabry Disease in Young Patients with Stroke in Argentina
Fabry disease (FD) is an underdiagnosed cause of stroke in young adults, but the frequency of this association is largely unknown. We estimated the prevalence of FD in a nationwide cohort of young adults who had stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) in Argentina.

Responsiveness of the Reaching Performance Scale for Stroke
CONCLUSION: In addition to being reliable and valid, the RPSS is also responsive. Along with the FMA-UE, using RPSS scores can help present a more comprehensive picture of motor compensations to characterize post-stroke upper limb motor improvement.PMID:37178950 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2023.04.020
