Ethnic Disparities in Ischemic Stroke, Intracerebral Hemorrhage, and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Incidence in The Netherlands Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Our findings suggest that Surinamese have an increased risk, whereas Moroccans have a reduced risk for all the various stroke subtypes. Among other ethnic minorities, the risk seems to depend on the stroke subtype and sex. These findings underscore the need to identify the root causes of these ethnic differences to assist primary and secondary prevention efforts.

Psychometric properties of the Dutch SAQOL-39NL in a generic stroke population.
CONCLUSIONS: These data provide further evidence for the acceptability, internal consistency, and initial promising data on validity of the SAQOL-39NLg. Further research on structural validity and responsiveness to change is needed. PMID: 30380373 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association of Computed Tomography Ischemic Lesion Location With Functional Outcome in Acute Large Vessel Occlusion Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The association between follow-up noncontrast computed tomography ILV and outcome as assessed with mRS 3 months after stroke is strengthened by accounting for the mRS relevance of the affected brain areas. Future prediction models should account for the ILV in brain areas of high mRS relevance.

Prediction of Clinical Outcome After Acute Ischemic Stroke Brief Report
Conclusions—Follow-up imaging after 3 days improves outcome prediction compared with prediction based on baseline variables alone. CTA recanalization and CTP reperfusion do not outperform noncontrast CT at this time point.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00880113.

Utility-Weighted Modified Rankin Scale as Primary Outcome in Stroke Trials Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The UW-mRS as primary outcome does not capture individual variation in utility values and may reduce the statistical power of a randomized trial.

Associations Between Collateral Status and Thrombus Characteristics and Their Impact in Anterior Circulation Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Patients with lower thrombus burden and higher thrombus perviousness scores had higher collateral score. The positive effect of thrombus perviousness on clinical outcome was only present in patients with moderate and high collateral scores.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.trialregister.nl.

Validity of the Utrecht scale for evaluation of rehabilitation-participation restrictions scale in a hospital-based stroke population 3 months after stroke
Conclusions:The USER-P-R shows good measurement properties and provides additional patient-reported information, proving its usefulness as an instrument to evaluate participation after 3 months in a hospital-based stroke population.PMID:34315356 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.1956047

The Dutch String‐of‐Pearls Stroke Study: Protocol of a large prospective multicenter genetic cohort study
BackgroundIn the last couple of years, genome‐wide association studies have largely altered the scope in genetic research in diseases in which both environmental and genetic risk factors contribute to the disease. To date, the genetic risk loci identified in stroke have lagged behind those in other complex diseases, possibly because of the heterogeneity of stroke phenotypes. Sufficiently large cohorts with well‐defined and detailed phenotyping of stroke patients are needed to identify additional genetic risk loci. DesignThe String‐of‐Pearls Institute is a unique partnership between all eight University Medical Cent...

Benefit of successful reperfusion achieved by endovascular thrombectomy for patients with ischemic stroke and moderate pre-stroke disability (mRS 3): results from the MR CLEAN Registry
Conclusions Although patients with AIS with pre-stroke mRS 3 comprise a heterogenous group of disability causes, we observed improved outcomes when patients achieved successful reperfusion after EVT.

Depression in Stroke Survivors: Ten-Year Follow-Up. Determinants of the Natural Course of Depressive Symptoms in Stroke Survivors in the Netherlands: The SMART-Medea Study
Stroke is one of the leading causes of mortality and a major cause of disability, due to impairments in functioning, limitations in activities, and restrictions in societal participation.20 Although these consequences vary widely between stroke survivors, the most common consequences are physical impairments, communication disorders, cognitive and emotional problems, and mood disturbances.13,50 Every year 15 million people suffer from stroke,30 in the Netherlands, 40.000 patients have a stroke each year28 Most stroke patients survive the initial illness and the greatest health effect is usually caused by the long-term consequences.

Safety and Outcome of Endovascular Treatment for Minor Ischemic Stroke: Results From the Multicenter Clinical Registry of Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands
Goal: Insufficient data is available about safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with minor stroke symptoms because these patients were excluded from most randomized trials. We aimed to compare characteristics, functional outcome, and complications in patients with minor ischemic stroke National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤5 (NIHSS score ≤5) and moderate to severe ischemic stroke (NIHSS score ≥6) due to intracranial proximal artery occlusion of the anterior circulation who underwent EVT.

Decision-Making on Referral to Primary Care Physiotherapy After Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation
Worldwide, stroke is a leading cause of death and disability.1 Although incidence rates are expected to increase over the next few decades, survival rates are expected to improve. Consequently, more stroke survivors will have to learn to live with the consequences. After acute stroke care or rehabilitation, returning home is one of the primary goals for stroke survivors.2 In the Netherlands, 65 % of stroke survivors return home immediately after acute hospital care.3 The remaining 35% continue inpatient rehabilitation in a rehabilitation center (RC) or geriatric rehabilitation center (GRC) before returning home.

Quantified health and cost effects of faster endovascular treatment for large vessel ischemic stroke patients in the Netherlands
Conclusion One-minute faster EVT increases QALYs while cumulative costs remain largely unaffected. Therefore, faster EVT provides better value of care at no extra healthcare costs.
