Effects of Sex Difference on Clinical Features of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Japan
Background: Sex differences in stroke characteristics and outcomes have been inconsistent. The goal of this study was to determine the influence of sex on underlying patient characteristics, stroke subtypes and conditions, and outcomes after ischemic stroke from a nationwide registration study.Methods: A total of 33,953 patients with acute ischemic stroke, including 13,323 women, were registered in a multicenter, hospital-based registration study based on a computerized database from 162 Japanese institutes (the Japan Standard Stroke Registry Study) between January 2000 and November 2007.Results: Women were significantly ...

Clinimetric properties of the action research arm test for the assessment of arm activity in hemiparetic patients after stroke.
Conclusions: The Japanese version of the ARAT is highly reliable and valid for measuring upper-extremity function in patients with stroke. Adding the performance timescale on the ARAT score scale can partially solve the "ceiling effect problem". PMID: 31618111 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Cardioembolic Stroke Is the Most Serious Problem in the Aging Society: Japan Standard Stroke Registry Study
Japan has the fastest aging society in the world. Older patients have a different stroke risk profile and different stroke features compared with younger patients. The aim of the present study was to examine the stroke subtypes, risk factor profiles, stroke severities, and functional outcomes in the different age groups.

Randomized Controlled Trial of Early Versus Delayed Statin Therapy in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Our randomized trial involving patients with acute ischemic stroke and dyslipidemia did not show any superiority of early statin therapy within 24 hours of admission compared with delayed statin therapy 7 days after admission to alleviate the degree of disability at 90 days after onset.Clinical Trial Registration—URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT02549846.

Clinimetric properties of the Fugl-Meyer assessment with adapted guidelines for the assessment of arm function in hemiparetic patients after stroke.
Conclusions The Japanese version of the FMA motor domain and all domains can reliably assess the affected upper extremities in patients with mild-to-severe hemiparesis after stroke for both non-simultaneous and simultaneous assessment. PMID: 30028660 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationship Between Dietary Vitamin D and Deaths From Stroke and Coronary Heart Disease Brief Report
Background and Purpose—There is growing evidence about the importance of vitamin D for cardiovascular health. Therefore, we examined the relationship between dietary vitamin D intake and risk of mortality from stroke and coronary heart disease in Japanese population.Methods—A prospective study encompassing 58 646 healthy Japanese adults (23 099 men and 35 547 women) aged of 40 to 79 years in whom dietary vitamin D intake was determined via a self-administered food frequency questionnaire. The median follow-up period was 19.3 years (1989–2009). The hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals of mortality were calcu...

Two-Year Recurrence After First-Ever Stroke in a General Population of 1.4 Million Japanese Patients 　- The Shiga Stroke and Heart Attack Registry Study.
CONCLUSIONS: Two-year cumulative recurrence rate after first-ever stroke remained high, particularly among patients with ischemic stroke, in the present population-based registry study in a real-world setting in Japan. Further intensive secondary prevention strategies are required for these high-risk individuals. PMID: 32350232 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Sex Differences in the Risk of 30-Day Death After Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions When adjusting for confounders, the female sex was associated with a lower risk of 30-day death after stroke, which could be explained by a female survival advantage in poststroke infections. Sex-specific strategies are needed to reduce early stroke deaths. Classification of Evidence This is a Class I prognostic study because it is a prospective population-based cohort with objective outcomes. Female sex appears to be protective against early stroke deaths and post stroke infections.
