The difficulty of studying race-ethnic stroke rehabilitation disparities in a community.
CONCLUSIONS: Initial agreement from rehabilitation providers to participate in research was excellent, but completion of study related data collection forms was sub-optimal suggesting this approach is not feasible for a future population-based stroke rehabilitation study. Further methods to study post-stroke rehabilitation disparities in communities are needed. PMID: 30187831 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of Stroke Risk Factors on Ethnic Stroke Disparities Among Midlife Mexican Americans and Non-Hispanic Whites Brief Report
Conclusions—The higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension and stronger association of diabetes mellitus with IS among midlife Mexican Americans likely contribute to persistent midlife ethnic stroke disparities.

Disparities in Stroke Type and Vascular Risk Factors Between 2 Hispanic Populations in Miami and Mexico City
Conclusions: We found significant differences in the frequency of hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and atrial fibrillation in Miami Hispanics and Mexican stroke patients, highlighting the heterogeneity of the Hispanic ethnic group. Future studies are needed to clarify the relative contribution of genetic and environmental disparities amongst Mexican and Caribbean Hispanic stroke patients.

Metabolic Syndrome Associated with Ischemic Stroke among the Mexican Hispanic Population in the El Paso/US–Mexico Border Region
In this report, data were collected in the El Paso/US–Mexico border region, where 82% of the population is Mexican Hispanic, through a retrospective study of ischemic stroke from 2005-2010. Odds ratios (ORs), 95% confidence intervals, logistic regression, and multivariate analysis of the ORs adjusted for other variables, were used to analyze the effects of various risk factors on ischemic stroke. The metabolic syndrome and its components, specifically hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia appeared to be strongly associated with ischemic stroke in the Mexican Hispanic population. Mexican Hispanic ischemic stroke patien...

Ethnic Differences in Prevalence of Post-stroke Depression Original Articles
Conclusions: MAs had a higher prevalence of PSD at 90 days than NHWs. The ethnic difference was explained by sociodemographic and health factors, especially low educational attainment.

Wake-up stroke is not associated with sleep-disordered breathing in women
Conclusions In this population-based study, WUS represented about 30% of all generally mild severity ischemic strokes in women and was not associated with SDB.

Cognitive recovery trajectories 3 months following stroke in Mexican American and non-Hispanic white adults
Cognitive impairment is common after stroke1, is associated with increased mortality, cost of care and disability2, and negatively impacts post-stroke quality of life3. Mexican Americans (MAs) demonstrate worse cognitive, neurologic, and functional outcomes 90 days following stroke compared to non-Hispanic white (NHWs)4. Although it is established that MAs demonstrate poorer 90-day cognitive outcomes following stroke than NHW, it is unclear whether MA disparities in cognitive outcomes are present immediately after stroke or whether the 90-day cognitive outcome disparities reflect a less favorable recovery trajectory in MAs.

Impact of Arrhythmia in Hospital Mortality in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study in Northern Mexico
Stroke remains one of the leading causes of death globally. 1 In Mexico, it represents the 6th cause of death2 and contributes with 688.19 DALYs per 100,000 people,3 constituting a major cause of burden of disease in the country. Heart rhythm dysfunctions following acute ischemic strokes (AIS) have been previously reported,4 –9 and it is expected that 25-30% of patients will be diagnosed with any type of arrhythmia after stroke.6,9 Kallmünze et al. reported the incidence of several post-stroke arrhythmias, such as atrial fibrillation (AF), focal atrial tachycardia, undetermined supraventricular tachycardia, ventricu la...

Public and Private Hospital Care Disparities of Ischemic Stroke in Mexico: Results from the Primer Registro Mexicano de Isquemia Cerebral (PREMIER) Study
Mortality and bad outcome by stroke are higher in developing countries than in industrialized countries. Health-care system efficiency could explain these disparities. Our objective was to identify the impact on short- and middle-term outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) among public and private Mexican medical care.

Survival After Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Stroke: A 4-Year Follow-Up at a Mexican Hospital
Overall, 75.2% of deaths from stroke occur in low- and middle-income countries. Mexico is a middle-income country with little information about the prognosis of early and late postischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.

Influence of Sex on Stroke Prognosis: A Demographic, Clinical, and Molecular Analysis
Conclusion Our data suggest that women who suffer from IS present with a poorer functional outcome than men at 3-months, regardless of other preclinical and clinical factors during the acute phase. These relationships seem to be mediated by atrial dysfunction and inflammation. The inflammatory response is slightly higher in women; however, there are no sex differences in their functional behavior. There is a probable relationship between the molecular marker of atrial dysfunction NT-proBNP and worse functional outcome in women, and the connection seems to be more important in cardioembolic stroke patients. In patients wi...

Vascular Cognitive Disorders and Depression After First-Ever Stroke: The Fogarty-Mexico Stroke Cohort
Background and Purpose: Stroke is the major cause of vascular behavior and cognitive disorders worldwide. In developing countries, there is a dearth of information regarding the public health magnitude of stroke. The aim of the Fogarty-Mexico cohort was to assess the prevalence of vascular behavioral and cognitive disorders, ranging from mild vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) to vascular dementia (VaD), in a cohort of acute first-ever symptomatic stroke patients in Mexico. Methods: A total of 165 consecutive, first-ever stroke patients admitted to the National Institute of Neurology and Neurosurgery in Mexico City, were ...

Difference in Stroke Knowledge between Rural and Urban Communities in a Developing Country after Community-Based Stroke Educational Campaigns: Results from a Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusions: Rural and semi-urban regions performed better than the urban population. Receiving stroke information is a determinant factor for stroke knowledge. Stroke Educational Campaigns are a cost-effective method for raising stroke awareness, thus reducing stroke burden.Neuroepidemiology 2018;51:224 –229
