Quality of Acute Ischemic Stroke Care in Thailand: A Prospective Multicenter Countrywide Cohort Study
Conclusions: Limited access to acute ischemic stroke care interventions were observed in many domains especially thrombolysis and stroke unit admission. These findings emphasize an urgent need for strategies to improve standard acute stroke care among developing countries.

Self-perceived and Actual Risk of Further Stroke in Patients with Recurrent Stroke or Recurrent Transient Ischemic Attack in Thailand
Background: The correct perception in patients of their future risk of recurrent stroke may lead to changes in behavior and to successful secondary prevention of stroke. The primary aim was to compare patients ’ perceived risk with the actual risk of further stroke. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in 2 tertiary hospitals in northeast Thailand. Self-perceived risk of further stroke was assessed by validated questionnaire and categorized as low, medium, or high. Actual risk was calcula ted using Stroke Prognosis Instrument II which classified patients into 3 risk groups: low, medium, and high.

Sex differences in stroke mortality in Thailand  : A National cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: Compared to men, women were older at time of stroke-diagnosis and had higher burden of stroke risk-factors. Women also had higher mortality after stroke regardless of stroke-type or duration since stroke-onset. Post-IS, excess stroke-mortality in women was greatest during the in-hospital period, whereas excess stroke-mortality increased with time in women who had HS. No clear relationship was found between duration since stroke-onset and mortality in patients who had SUT.PMID:36435621 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2022.11.003

Knowledge of Stroke Risk Factors and Warning Signs in Patients with Recurrent Stroke or Recurrent Transient Ischaemic Attack in Thailand.
Authors: Saengsuwan J, Suangpho P, Tiamkao S Abstract Stroke is a global burden. It is not known whether patients who are most at risk of stroke (recurrent stroke or recurrent transient ischaemic attack) have enough knowledge of stroke risk factors and warning signs. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge of stroke risk factors and warning signs in this high-risk population. We performed a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study of patients with recurrent stroke or recurrent TIA admitted to Srinagarind Hospital and Khon Kaen Hospital, Thailand. A total of 140 patients were included in the study (age 65...

Association of chronic kidney disease with outcomes in acute stroke
AbstractPrevious studies have found an association between chronic kidney disease and poor outcomes in stroke patients. However, there is a paucity of literature evaluating this association by stroke type. We therefore aimed to explore the association between CKD and stroke outcomes according to type of stroke. The data consisting of 594,681 stroke patients were acquired from Universal Coverage Health Security Insurance Scheme Database in Thailand. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the relationship of CKD and outcomes, which were as follows; in-hospital mortality, long length of stay (>3  days), pneumonia, ...

Comparison of Arterial Ischemic and Hemorrhagic Pediatric Stroke in Etiology, Risk Factors, Clinical Manifestations, and Prognosis
Conclusions Moyamoya disease/syndrome and arteriovenous malformation rapture are the most common cause of AIS and HS, respectively. Iron deficiency anemia was commonly found in childhood AIS. The time to diagnosis in both AIS and HS was delayed. The mortality rate in HS was higher than in AIS. Neurological deficits are seen in 70% of childhood AIS during the follow-up. One-third of the children in our study developed epilepsy, which generally responds to a single antiseizure medication. The recurrence rate of childhood stroke was low compared with adult stroke.

Impact of Hospital Level on Stroke Outcomes in the Thrombolytic Therapy Era in Northeast Thailand: A Retrospective Study
ConclusionCHs may have the potential for acute ischemic stroke care in the same way as RHs or THs, with faster rt-PA treatment, in northeast Thailand. However, further studies should be performed to evaluate appropriate patient characteristics for CHs.

Within-Visit Blood Pressure Variability and All-Cause and Stroke Mortality: Thai Epidemiologic Stroke (TES) Study
This study included 19,614 participants aged 45-80 years, who were free o f stroke and had three blood pressure (BP) measurements, taken one minute apart, at baseline. Within-visit systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) variability were expressed as the maximum absolute difference (MAD) between any two readings among the three repeated sequentia l measurements of SBP and DBP respectively. The participants were followed up for mortality. Cox regression analysis was used to identify the association of within-visit BPV with all cause and stroke mortality. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval...
