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]

Modeling the impact of real-world adherence to once-daily (QD) versus twice-daily (BID) non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants on stroke and major bleeding events among non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients.
CONCLUSION: QD NOACs prevented a significant number of strokes and caused no significant increase in MBs compared to BID NOACs which leads to significant net cost savings for NVAF patients in the US. PMID: 30265159 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Mp6: homocysteine level in pfo related stroke patients with respect to medical therapy vs pfo closure
Conclusions We found that compared with routine medical therapy, PFO closure reduced tHcy level in patients with mild hyperhomocysteinemia. Since PFO stroke patients tend to be younger, the life-time risk of even mildly elevated tHcy may be important for future thrombotic risk. Understanding the mechanism of PFO-related tHcy changes is important in optimizing medical treatment (e.g, folate replacement); studies are ongoing. Abstract MP6 Figure 1

The Impact of Homocysteine, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin D Levels on Functional Outcome after First-Ever Ischaemic Stroke.
Abstract We explored the relationship between acute ischaemic stroke (IS) early functional outcome and serum levels of homocysteine, vitamin B12, and D in a noninterventional prospective clinical study. We enrolled 50 patients with first-ever IS and performed laboratory tests and functional assessment at three time points: on admission and three and six months after stroke. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), NIHSS scale, and Barthel index (BI) scores were assessed in all participants by trained examiner blinded to laboratory data. Patients did not receive treatment that might alter laboratory data. Admission NIHSS corre...

Association Between Serum Vitamin D Levels and Physical Outcomes of Patients Who Underwent Rehabilitation Following Ischemic Stroke
CONCLUSIONS Lower serum vitamin D levels and more advanced age may be associated with worse functional outcomes in first-ever ischemic stroke patients.PMID:37248685 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.940115

Influence of renal function on the association between homocysteine level and risk of ischemic stroke.
We examined whether the association between total homocysteine (tHCY) and risk of ischemic stroke (IS) varies depending on renal function to gain insight into why tHCY-lowering vitamins do not reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease in clinical trials. We analyzed data from 542 IS patients with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) or small artery occlusion (SAO) after stratification by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to evaluate renal function. We found that tHCY level was positively associated with the occurrence of IS in both LAA (OR: 1.159, 95% CI: 1.074-1.252, P<0.001) and SAO (OR: 1.143, 95% CI: 1....

Impact of prescription patterns of antithrombotic treatment on atrial fibrillation-related ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The prescription of oral anticoagulants, particularly direct oral anticoagulants, has increased from 2013 to 2019 in our Health Assistance Area. This increase might partially explain the reduction in AF-related IS. PMID: 33326304 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Observation of Clinical Efficacy of Anisodamine and Chlorpromazine in the Treatment of Intractable Hiccup after Stroke
CONCLUSION: The combination of 2D K-L divergence and MPSO algorithm could improve the accuracy of multilayer image segmentation and CT imaging. Acupoint injection of anisodamine combined with chlorpromazine had better efficacy than the injection of anisodamine alone for the treatment of intractable hiccups after stroke, with high safety and clinical promotion value.PMID:35915796 | PMC:PMC9338746 | DOI:10.1155/2022/6563193

Safety and Efficacy of Triple Antithrombotic Therapy with Dabigatran versus Vitamin K Antagonist in Atrial Fibrillation Patients: A Pilot Study.
Conclusion: Dabigatran at the dose used for stroke prevention appears safer than VKA and maintains a similar efficacy profile, when used with DAPT, in AF patients who have undergone PCI with stenting for ACS. PMID: 30895193 [PubMed - in process]

Improved persistence with non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants compared with warfarin in patients with atrial fibrillation: recent Australian experience.
CONCLUSIONS: Persistence with NOAC drugs in patients with AF appears to be superior to warfarin. If continued long-term, this alone will be of clinical importance in the prevention of stroke and death. PMID: 27463735 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effectiveness and Safety of Non-Vitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulants in Asian Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Valvular Heart Disease.
CONCLUSIONS: NOACs had a comparable risk of ischemic stroke and bleeding in patients with AF and VHD, and reduced the risk of venous thromboembolism, intracranial hemorrhage, and mortality, compared to warfarin. Therefore, NOAC is an effective and safe alternative to warfarin in these patients. PMID: 33538623 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
