Rates and Determinants of 5-Year Outcomes After Atrial Fibrillation-Related Stroke: A Population Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— AF-stroke is associated with considerable long-term morbidity, fatality, stroke recurrence, and nursing home requirement. Adequately resourced national AF strategies to improve AF detection and prevention are needed.

Role of Prestroke Vascular Pathology in Long-Term Prognosis After Stroke: The Rotterdam Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— One quarter of deaths after stroke could theoretically be prevented with rigorous cardiovascular prevention and treatment, but this should preferably start before stroke occurrence. In addition, research into factors explaining the remaining deaths needs to be encouraged.

Nontraditional Serum Lipid Variables and Recurrent Stroke Risk Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Of various nontraditional lipid variables, elevated baseline triglycerides/HDL-C and total cholesterol/HDL-C ratios predict future vascular risk after a stroke, but only elevated triglycerides/HDL-C ratio is related to risk of recurrent stroke. Future studies should assess the role of triglycerides/HDL-C as a potential therapeutic target for global vascular risk reduction after stroke.

Impact of serum nutritional status on physical function in african american and caucasian stroke survivors.
Conclusion. In stroke, racial differences exist with regard to serum nutritional risk, but these differences are similar to that observed in the general population. Regardless of race, nutritional risk appears elevated above that of the general population with regard to many of the serum markers. As a modifiable biomarker, uric acid should be monitored closely as it may provide insight into the functional risk of stroke survivors. PMID: 25530905 [PubMed]

Retinal Microvascular Changes and Risk of Stroke: The Singapore Malay Eye Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Retinal microvascular changes are related to an increased risk of stroke in Asian Malay, consistent with data from white populations. Retinal imaging improves the discrimination and stratification of stroke risk beyond that of established risk factors by a significant but small margin.

Impact of transitional care for discharged elderly stroke patients in China: an application of the Integrated Behavioral Model.
Conclusions: This study provided evidence of concurrent self-reported and objective clinical indicators in discharged elderly stroke patients for the impact of the IBM-based 3-month TC intervention, which can be recommended for clinical practice. PMID: 31369355 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

C-Reactive Protein as a Prognostic Marker After Lacunar Stroke: Levels of Inflammatory Markers in the Treatment of Stroke Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Among recent lacunar stroke patients, hsCRP levels predict the risk of recurrent strokes and other vascular events. hsCRP did not predict the response to dual antiplatelets. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00059306.

Discharge Is a Critical Time to Influence 10-Year Use of Secondary Prevention Therapies for Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Prescription of medications at hospital discharge was the strongest predictor of ongoing medication use in survivors of stroke, even at 10 years after stroke. Ensuring that patients with stroke are discharged on optimal medications is likely to improve their long-term management, but further strategies might be required among those who are disadvantaged.
