The Frequency and Timing of Recurrent Stroke.
CONCLUSION: Patients with acute stroke should be treated in a specialized center whenever possible. After hospital discharge, stroke patients should be followed up at short intervals and any risk factors for stroke should be treated. PMID: 31711561 [PubMed - in process]

Acute Stroke Care in Korea in 2013-2014: National Averages and Disparities.
CONCLUSION: This study describes the current status of acute stroke care in Korea. Despite quite acceptable quality of stroke care, it suggests regional and hospital disparities. Expansion of stroke units, stroke center certification or accreditation, and connections between stroke centers and emergency medical services are highly recommended.

Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Treated with Oral Anticoagulants: Comparison of the Population-Based Stroke Registry of Dijon and the French National Health Databases
Conclusion: If administrative health databases can be a useful tool to study the epidemiology of anticoagulated AF in stroke patients, population-based stroke registries as the Dijon Stroke Registry remain essential to fully study the epidemiology of strokes with anticoagulated AF.Neuroepidemiology

Women With Osteoarthritis Are at Increased Risk of Ischemic Stroke: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
CONCLUSION: Women with OA are at an elevated risk of ischemic stroke. A close monitoring of hypertension, atrial fibrillation, and other stroke related comorbidities is required for stroke prevention for OA patients. PMID: 33536376 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Socioeconomic status and stroke severity: Understanding indirect effects via risk factors and stroke prevention using innovative statistical methods for mediation analysis
ConclusionAlmost one third of the association between low education and severe stroke was explained by risk factors, and clinical effort should be taken to reduce these risk factors to decrease stroke severity among those with low socioeconomic status.

Increased risk of ischaemic stroke amongst patients with chronic osteomyelitis: a population‐based cohort study in Taiwan
ConclusionsThis is the first report linking COM to an increased risk of developing stroke. Results suggest that COM is a significant stroke risk factor and call for closer attention to this group of patients for more rigorous stroke prevention, especially in the younger age group.

Risk of Stroke in Long-term Dialysis Patients Compared With the General Population
Conclusions: Patients undergoing dialysis are at elevated risk of stroke. Patients undergoing PD appear to be less likely to develop hemorrhagic stroke than those undergoing HD. Comprehensive control of hypertension and diabetes is necessary when delivering dialysis treatment.

Code stroke: A mismatch between number of activation and number of thrombolysis.
CONCLUSION: The majority of code stroke patients were stroke patients; however, most of them could not be treated with thrombolytic therapy. These findings underscore the need for further support from the BNHI in order for health-care providers to implement the code stroke systems successfully. PMID: 24961186 [PubMed - in process]

Risk of stroke among patients with post-traumatic stress disorder: nationwide longitudinal study.
Conclusions Individuals with PTSD have an increased risk of developing any stroke and ischaemic stroke. Further studies are required to investigate the underlying mechanisms. PMID: 25698764 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Decreased risk of acute myocardial infarction in stroke patients receiving acupuncture treatment: a nationwide matched retrospective cohort study
Conclusions: We raised the possibility that acupuncture may be effective in lowering the risk of AMI in stroke patients aged 50–69 in this study, which was limited by a lack of information regarding stroke severity and acupuncture points. Our results suggest that prospective randomized trials are needed to establish the efficacy of acupuncture in preventing AMI.

Stroke Risk Reduction Outweighed Bleeding Risk Increase from Vitamin K Antagonists Treatment among Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation Patients with High Stroke risk and Low Bleeding Risk.
CONCLUSION: In NVAF patients at high risk for stroke and low risk for bleeding, our data confirm the effectiveness of anticoagulation for stroke prevention. The decrease in stroke risk of anticoagulation may outweigh the risk of major bleeding events, particularly among elderly patients. Potential risks of warfarin during initiation warrant attention, especially among patients who stop and start therapy repeatedly. PMID: 28008771 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Gender-based differences in mortality and complementary therapies for patients with stroke in Taiwan.
CONCLUSIONS: In Taiwan, stroke-associated mortality is higher in men. Marriage or female sex hormone may have protective effect against stroke in women. Women also more tended to seek TCM complementary therapies combined with Western medicine. Integrated Chinese and Western medicine could thus be a potential treatment for stroke.

Association between socioeconomic status and prognosis after ischemic stroke in South China.
Conclusions: Patients with low income, family caregiver, and no insurance have a poorer prognosis after ischemic stroke that can be partly explained by intermediate variable in the patients' demographic characteristics, cardiovascular disease, behavior lifestyle, and stroke severity.

Use of Chinese herbal medicines by rheumatoid arthritis patients was associated with lower risk of stroke: A retrospective cohort study.
CONCLUSION: The CHMs use was associated with lower risk of stroke for RA patients, suggesting that it could be integrated into conventional therapy to prevent subsequent stroke incident. PMID: 31331548 [PubMed - in process]

Impact of the Dedicated Neurointensivists on the Outcome in Patients with Ischemic Stroke Based on the Linked Big Data for Stroke in Korea.
CONCLUSION: Treatment by dedicated neurointensivists is associated with lower in-hospital and 3-month mortality using the linked big datasets for stroke in Korea. This finding stresses the importance of neurointensivists in treating patients with severe ischemic stroke. PMID: 32476299 [PubMed - in process]
