Atrial Fibrillation in Ischemic Stroke: Predicting Response to Thrombolysis and Clinical Outcomes Original Contributions
Conclusions— Stroke patients with AF have higher mortality, greater risk of intracerebral hemorrhage, and a similar response trend to thrombolysis compared with non-AF patients.

Very Low Quality of Life After Acute Stroke: Data From the Efficacy of Nitric Oxide in Stroke Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Very low health-related quality of life is relatively common after stroke, particularly in patients with mobility problems or who are dependent on help for usual activities, and is related to poor functional outcome measures.

Enrollment Yield and Reasons for Screen Failure in a Large Prehospital Stroke Trial Brief Reports
Conclusions— In this large, multicenter prehospital trial, nearly 40% of every calls from the field to physician-investigators resulted in trial enrollments. The most common reasons for nonenrollment were out of window last known well time, prestroke confounding medical condition, and absence of a consent provider.

Burden and Outcome of Prevalent Ischemic Brain Disease in a National Acute Stroke Registry Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In our national cohort of patients with acute ischemic stroke, nearly two thirds had a prior overt stroke or subclinical stroke. Risk of poor functional outcomes was increased for patients with prior stroke, both overt and subclinical.

Increased work and social engagement is associated with increased stroke specific quality of life in stroke survivors at 3  months and 12 months post-stroke: a longitudinal study of an Australian stroke cohort.
CONCLUSION: Engaging in work and social activities is an important factor associated with stroke-specific domains of QOL over time. It is recommended that services focus on improving work and social engagement given their importance related to QOL in the first year of recovery post-stroke. Identifying and treating those with depressive symptoms may enhance QOL in the early months post-stroke.

Diagnostic and prognostic role of resistin and copeptin in acute ischemic stroke.
DISCUSSION: Resistin, but not copeptin levels are higher in acute ischemic stroke patients early after the stroke onset, than in age and gender matched stroke-free controls. Moreover, higher copeptin concentrations are predictive of poor short term functional outcome after ischemic stroke. If confirmed in larger prospective studies, resistin and copeptin could improve clinical diagnosis of stroke and effective management of patient recovery.

Associations Between Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate and Stroke Outcomes in Diabetic Versus Nondiabetic Patients Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Decreased eGFR (<45 mL/min per 1.73 m2) is a strong predictor of all-cause mortality, stroke recurrence, and stroke disability in diabetic and nondiabetic patients with acute stroke. Increased eGFR (≥120 mL/min per 1.73 m2) is associated with all of stroke outcomes in diabetic patients and linked to all-cause mortality in nondiabetic patients.

Acute Hospital, Community, and Indirect Costs of Stroke Associated With Atrial Fibrillation: Population-Based Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In our population study, AF-stroke was associated with substantially higher total, acute hospital, nursing home, and general practitioner costs per patient. Targeted programs to identify AF and prevent AF-stroke may have significant economic benefits, in addition to health benefits.

Insomnia and health-related quality of life in stroke.
CONCLUSION: The findings show that stroke survivors who experienced insomnia had a reduced overall HRQoL and were impaired in the energy and thinking domains of HRQoL. Early screening for sleep disturbance would be beneficial to prevent later development of post-stroke insomnia. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions are suggested to improve HRQoL in stroke patients with insomnia. PMID: 25908494 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The pooled incidence of post-stroke seizure in 102 008 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis showed that seizures occurred in about 6.93% of people with stroke. Seizures occurred more commonly after hemorrhagic stroke and when stroke occurred in the cortical region. PMID: 25920619 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Declining Rate and Severity of Hospitalized Stroke From 2004 to 2013 Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and disability. We assessed trends in rates of hospitalized stroke and stroke severity on admission in a prospective national registry of stroke from 2004 to 2013.Methods—All 6693 acute ischemic strokes and intracerebral hemorrhage in the National Acute Stroke Israeli participants ≥20 years old were included. Data were prospectively collected in 2004 (February–March), 2007 (March–April), 2010 (April–May), and 2013 (March–April). Rates of hospitalized stroke from 2004 to 2013 were studied using generalized linear models assuming a quasi-Poisson erro...

Very early cognitive screening and return to work after stroke.
Conclusions: Screening for cognitive impairments at 36-48-h post stroke is apparently too early for predicting RTW, and thus cannot be the sole basis for discharge planning after stroke. Additional research is needed to further analyze cognitive function early after stroke and RTW. PMID: 31369365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Can high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and ferritin predict functional outcome in acute ischemic stroke? A prospective study.
Conclusion: This study revealed that neither hs-CRP nor ferritin levels could predict functional disability 3 months after stroke onset. FIM, FAS, and NIHSS scores were more useful in predicting functional outcome 3 months after stroke onset than the laboratory markers evaluated in this study. PMID: 24273300 [PubMed - in process]

Stroke, Physical Function, and Death Over a 15-Year Period in Older Australian Women Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— This study provides evidence of the long-term outcomes of stroke among older women, with women living for many years with poor PF. This outcome has important implications for the women’s quality of life during their later years and in understanding the burden of disability associated with stroke.
