Family caregiver adjustment and stroke survivor impairment: A path analytic model.
Objective: Depressive symptoms are a common problem among family caregivers of stroke survivors. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between care recipient’s impairment and caregiver depression, and determine the possible mediating effects of caregiver negative problem-orientation, mastery, and leisure time satisfaction. The evaluated model was derived from Pearlin’s stress process model of caregiver adjustment.

Effects of Improved Detection And Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation On Burden of Disease Caused By Stroke In Germany
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for stroke with a prevalence of 1-2% of the general population. Patients with non-valvular AF show a 4 to5 times higher risk of stroke. According to a German registry study, AF goes undetected in one third of affected patients. Even if correctly diagnosed, AF is not always treated with oral anti-coagulants (OAC) according to treatment guidelines. For Germany, the estimated proportion of patients actually treated with OAC among all eligible AF-patients ranges from 38% to 83%.

Budget impact of botulinum toxin treatment for spasticity after stroke — a German perspective
ConclusionThe botulinum toxin therapy is associated with additional costs, but an increased use of botulinum toxin would be consistent with guideline-based therapy. In particular, it has to be considered that spasticity as a chronic condition is accompanied by a relevant loss of quality of life. Thus, considering only the therapy costs may not be sufficient for making final therapeutic decisions.

Pediatric Acute Ischemic Stroke by Age-Group: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Published Studies and Hospitalization Records
Conclusions: Incidence rates of pediatric AIS by age-groups followed a consistent overall pattern of a reverse J-shaped curve, with the highest rates in neonates, across predominantly European and North American countries. Further research is warranted to examine if this pattern is observed in other geographic regions and to identify AIS risk factors specific to different phases of childhood development.Neuroepidemiology
