Association between Air Pollutants and Initial Hospital Admission for Ischemic Stroke in Korea from 2002 to 2013
There is limited information regarding the association between air pollution exposure and stroke incidence. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the associations between short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and initial hospital admission for ischemic stroke.

Predicting Stroke Complications in Hospital and Functional Status at Discharge by Clustering of Cardiovascular Diseases a Multi-Centre Registry-Based Study of Acute Stroke
Patient outcomes after an acute hospital admission are an important indicator of healthcare quality. A number of indices have been developed to measure multimorbidity and used to predict outcomes in general medical patients. The Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)1 and Elixhauser Index2 are two of the commonly used indices and perform similarly in predicting mortality.3 The CCI was designed to predict mortality based on 16 conditions (including stroke) and age whilst the Elixhauser index comprises 30 acute and chronic conditions, developed to predict hospital length of stay (LOS) and in-hospital mortality.

Association Between Toileting Independence and Higher Brain Functions in Post-Stroke Inpatients: A Cross-Sectional Study
Toileting disorders are among the most common disorders in post-stroke inpatients1. In addition, the toileting ability of post-stroke inpatients is a criterion for hospital discharge, and interventions to improve patient toileting independence are indispensable for in-hospital rehabilitation2.

Maintained acute stroke admission during the first wave COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden, a register-based study
Clinicians and researchers have addressed concerns about the negative impact of COVID-19 outbreaks on the ability of health care systems to provide timely assessment and acute therapies to patients with stroke. The aim of this study is to describe stroke care during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the same period the year before at an acute care hospital in Sweden.

Factors determining discharge against medical advice among stroke admissions in oauthc ile ife
Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) is request for a discharge treatment plan that is outside the range of medically acceptable standards of practice based on risk or other factors. We aimed to explore the rate and factors determining DAMA among stroke patients in OAUTHC Ile Ife.The study is a retrospective descriptive study that spanned 1st July 2017 to 30th June 2022 at the Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile-Ife, Southwestern Nigeria. Data on all stroke patients that DAMA within the study period was extracted from the unit register and case note retrieved at the record department of the hospit...

Predictors of 30-day mortality among stroke patients admitted at a tertiary teaching hospital in northwestern tanzania: a prospective cohort study
Stroke is the 2nd leading cause of death worldwide, with the highest mortality in Low-middle-income countries particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to investigate the predictors of 30-day mortality among stroke patients admitted at a tertiary hospital in Northwestern Tanzania.

The level of stroke severity amongst early and late presenters and their functional outcomes during a 30-day period in a teaching hospital in ghana
This study aimed at examining the clinical presentation of patients with acute ischaemic stroke, who presented early ( 4.5 hrs) against their functional outcomes during a 30-day period.

Dysphagia-related acute stroke complications: A retrospective observational cohort study
Dysphagia, or impaired swallowing, is reported to affect between 8.1% and 45.3% of patients following stroke.1 Dysphagia is associated with longer length of stay (LOS) in acute hospital, increased healthcare costs, and greater long-term institutionalisation.2,3 Aspiration pneumonia mediates a significant proportion of this deleterious association and, in its own right, is associated with increased length of stay in hospital,4 poorer post-stroke functioning,5,6 and increased mortality.7

Social and health determinants related to adverse short-term outcomes after a first-ever stroke in adults younger than 65 years
Stroke-related mortality and disability-adjusted life years in adults younger than 65 have increased over the last decade. However, geographical differences in distributing these outcomes could reflect dissimilarity in determinants. Therefore, this cross-sectional study of secondary data from Chilean hospitals aims to analyze the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with in-hospital case-fatality risk or acquired neurologic deficits (adverse outcomes) in inpatients aged 18 to 64 who experienced their first-ever stroke.

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at admission is a risk factor for in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy: A case control study
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a clinically important complication in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy. The present study was to explore the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and in-hospital gastrointestinal  bleeding in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who had received dual antiplatelet therapy.

'Dystextia' May Become New Diagnostic For Stroke
Difficulty or inability to write a coherent text message, even in patients who have no problem speaking, may become a "vital" tool in diagnosing a type of crippling stroke, according to new research at Henry Ford Hospital. The case study focused on a 40-year-old man visiting the metro Detroit area on business who showed signs of "dystextia," a recently coined term for incoherent text messaging that can sometimes be confused with autocorrect garble. But in his case, the man saw nothing wrong with the garble...

Identifying Pediatric Patients At High Risk Of Stroke Or Brain Hemorrhage
Measuring blood flow in the brain may be an easy, noninvasive way to predict stroke or hemorrhage in children receiving cardiac or respiratory support through a machine called ECMO, according to a new study by researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Early detection would allow physicians to alter treatment and take steps to prevent these complications - the leading cause of death for patients on ECMO...
