Insomnia Subtypes and the Subsequent Risks of Stroke: Report From a Nationally Representative Cohort Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Insomnia predisposes individuals to increased risk of stroke and this association is profound among young adults. Our results underscore the clinical importance of identifying and treating insomnia. A novel behavioral intervention targeting insomnia that may prevent stroke should be explored.

CHA2DS2-VASc Score (Congestive Heart Failure, Hypertension, Age >=75 Doubled, Diabetes Mellitus, Prior Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack Doubled, Vascular Disease, Age 65-74, Female) for Stroke in Asian Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—The CHA2DS2-VASc stroke score (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 (doubled), diabetes mellitus, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack (doubled), vascular disease, age 65–74, female) is used in most guidelines for risk stratification in atrial fibrillation (AF), but most data for this score have been derived in Western populations. Ethnic differences in stroke risk may be present. Our objective was to investigate risk factors for stroke in AF and application of the CHA2DS2-VASc score in an Asian AF population from Korea.Methods—A total of 5855 oral anticoagulant–naive nonval...

CHA2DS2-VASc Score for Identifying Truly Low-Risk Atrial Fibrillation for Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—The CHA2DS2-VASc score shows good performance in defining truly low-risk Asian patients with atrial fibrillation for stroke compared with CHADS2 and ATRIA scores.

Development of a Mobile Tool That Semiautomatically Screens Patients for Stroke Clinical Trials Brief Reports
Conclusions— We created a semiautomated electronic screening tool that uses branch logic to screen patients for stroke clinical trials. The tool has improved efficiency and efficacy of screening, and it could be adapted for use at other sites and in other medical fields.

Real-World Setting Comparison of Nonvitamin-K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants Versus Vitamin-K Antagonists for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—This meta-analysis confirms the main findings of the randomized controlled trials of dabigatran, rivaroxaban, and apixaban in the real-world setting and, hence, strengthens their validity.

Association of Short-Term Use of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs With Stroke in Patients With Hypertension Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The results demonstrate an increased risk of stroke, specifically ischemic stroke among hypertensive subjects with NSAIDs use. It would be important to closely monitor the transient effect of initial NSAIDs treatment, particularly in patients with hypertension.

Hospital Costs Associated With Atrial Fibrillation for Patients With Ischemic Stroke Aged 18-64 Years in the United States Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— AFib increased the hospital cost of ischemic stroke substantially. Further investigation on AFib-associated costs for repeat stroke admissions is needed.

Validation of a Modified CHA2DS2-VASc Score for Stroke Risk Stratification in Asian Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Nationwide Cohort Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In this Asian atrial fibrillation cohort, the mCHA2DS2-VASc score performed better than the CHA2DS2-VASc and would further identify atrial fibrillation patients who may derive a positive net clinical benefit from oral anticoagulation.
