Epidemiology, risk factors and characteristics of pediatric stroke: a nationwide population-based study
Conclusions and implicationsInfants younger than 2  years, boys and children in lower socioeconomic status have a significantly higher risk of stroke. Hemorrhagic stroke has a significantly higher mortality rate than ischemic stroke. More than half of the children with stroke had underlying diseases and the causes of hemorrhagic stroke are signifi cantly different from ischemic stroke.

Mood stabilisers and risk of stroke in bipolar disorder.
CONCLUSIONS: Use of carbamazepine and valproic acid, but not lithium and lamotrigine, is associated with increased risk of stroke in patients with bipolar disorder.Declaration of interestNone. PMID: 30295208 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: Prevalence and Associated Stroke Risks in a Nationwide Cohort Study.
CONCLUSION:  Among all NVAF patients, 1.1% of patient has HCM. The risk of stroke in NVAF with HCM without any CHA2DS2-VASc stroke risk factors was similar to that of those patients without HCM with CHA2DS2-VASc score of 3. Despite this, the actual use of OACs among NVAF patients with HCM was sub-optimal, relative to their high stroke risk. PMID: 30602200 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Accelerated Risk of Premature Ischemic Stroke in 5-Year Survivors of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.
CONCLUSION: Not only was the stroke risk in NPC survivors higher than that in the general population, but the onset age was also 10 years earlier. Future survivorship care should include ischemic stroke as a late complication, for its proper prevention and management. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is endemic in Taiwan, and its 5-year survival is 65.2%. With the increased 5-year cancer survivors, survivorship has become an important issue. However, research on NPC survivorship is very rare. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first population-based study on long-term NPC survivors. This s...

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 1944: Stroke to Dementia Associated with Environmental Risks —A Semi-Markov Model
Conclusion: Experiments showed that the proposed semi-Markovian model outperformed other benchmark diagnosis algorithms (i.e., linear regression, decision tree, random forest, and support vector machine), with a high R2 of 90%. The proposed model also facilitated an accurate prognosis on the transition time of stroke from chronic diseases to dementias against environmental risks and rehabilitation factors.

Updating the Cost Effectiveness of Oral Anticoagulants for Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Based on Varying Stroke and Bleed Risk Profiles
ConclusionsFrom a US private payer ’s perspective, dabigatran appears cost effective compared with other anticoagulants. This study indicated risk stratification especially considering both stroke and bleed risk simultaneously is important not only in clinical practice but also in health technology assessment exercises among patien ts with atrial fibrillation.

Association of physical activity with stroke among long-term colorectal cancer survivors
ConclusionsModerate frequency of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (5-9 time/week) and walking (4-5 time/week) significantly lowers the risk of stroke, whereas high-frequency physical activity reduces the benefits of physical activity.Implications for Cancer SurvivorsPhysical activity with moderate frequency is important in the prevention of stroke for long-term colorectal cancer survivors.

Risk for ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease associated with migraine and migraine medication among older adults
ConclusionsOlder adults with migraine are at increased risk for ischemic stroke. The risk for ischemic stroke among older adults with migraine may differ by migraine medication classes.

Emergency Medical Services Prenotification is Associated with Reduced Odds of In-Hospital Mortality in Stroke Patients
Conclusions: Prenotification by EMS was associated with reduced in-hospital mortality for patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack. These findings add to the large body of literature demonstrating the key role of EMS in the stroke systems of care. Our study underscores the importance of standardizing prehospital screening and triage, increasing rates of prenotification via feedback and education, and encouraging active collaborations between prehospital personnel and stroke-capable hospitals to increase in-hospital survival among patients with stroke and transient ischemic attack.PMID:35583481 | DOI:10.1...
