Hyperintense Vessels, Collateralization, and Functional Outcome in Patients With Stroke Receiving Endovascular Treatment Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Low FHV-ASPECTS is associated with both better collateral status and better 3-month functional outcome in acute stroke patients with M1 vessel occlusion.

Stroke unit care and trends of in‐hospital mortality for stroke in Germany 2005–2010
ConclusionsThe earlier stroke unit implementations might represent rather ‘formal’ inceptions in experienced hospitals with preexisting appropriate stroke care, whereas late implementations seem to have caused extra improvements. Overall, stroke patients are more likely to survive when admitted to an stroke unit‐providing hospital. A more stringent assignment of acute stroke patients to stroke unit‐providing hospitals could possibly further reduce stroke mortality in Germany.

Validating the TeleStroke Mimic Score Clinical Sciences
We report the area under the curve in receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis with 95% confidence interval for our previously derived TM score in which lower TM scores correspond with a higher likelihood of being a stroke mimic.Results—Based on final diagnosis at the end of the telestroke consultation, there were 630 of 1930 (32.6%) stroke mimics in the external validation cohort. All 6 variables included in the score were significantly different between patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease versus stroke mimics. The TM score performed well (area under curve, 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.70–0.73; P

Machine Learning –Based Identification of Target Groups for Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke
AbstractWhether endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) improves functional outcome in patients with large-vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke that do not comply with inclusion criteria of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) but that are considered for EVT in clinical practice is uncertain. We aimed to systematically identify patients with LVO stroke underrepresented in RCTs who might benefit from EVT. Following the premises that (i) patients without reperfusion after EVT represent a non-treated control group and (ii) the level of reperfusion affects outcome in patients with benefit from EVT but not in patients without treatment benefit...

Risk of Inhospital Stroke or Death Is Associated With Age But Not Sex in Patients Treated With Carotid Endarterectomy for Asymptomatic or Symptomatic Stenosis in Routine Practice: Secondary Data Analysis of the Nationwide German Statutory Quality Assurance Database From 2009 to 2014 Cardiovascular Surgery
ConclusionsThis study shows that increasing age, but not sex, is associated with a higher risk of in‐hospital stroke or death following carotid endarterectomy under everyday conditions in Germany. Whereas the risk of death (alone) is significantly associated with age, the association between age and the risk of stroke (alone) can be considered of minor importance.

Electrocardiographic RR Interval Dynamic Analysis to Identify Acute Stroke Patients at High Risk for Atrial Fibrillation Episodes During Stroke Unit Admission
AbstractPatients at short-term risk of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) often exhibit increased RR interval variability during sinus rhythm. We studied if RR dynamic analysis, applied in the first hours after stroke unit (SU) admission, identified acute ischemic stroke patients at higher risk for subsequent PAF episodes detected within the SU hospitalization. Acute ischemic stroke patients underwent continuous cardiac monitoring (CCM) using standard bedside monitors immediately after SU admission. The CCM tracks from the first 48  h were analyzed using a telemedicine service (SRA clinic, Apoplex Medical, Germany). Bas...

Sex Disparities in Re-Employment in Stroke Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion Undergoing Mechanical Thrombectomy
CONCLUSIONS: There is more to re-employment after MT than functional outcome alone. In particular, attention should be paid to possible systemic barriers deterring women from resuming paid work.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.CLINICALTRIALS: gov; Unique identifier: NCT03356392.PMID:35443786 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.037386

Endovascular treatment of acute tandem lesions in patients with mild anterior circulation stroke
Conclusions EVT for tandem lesions in patients with mild anterior circulation stroke appears to be feasible but may lead to increased rates of sICH. Further studies comparing endovascular with best medical treatment (BMT) especially investigating the risk of periprocedural hemorrhagic complications, are needed.

The German version of the Functional Walking Categories (FWC): translation and initial validation.
CONCLUSIONS: The German FWC offers a reasonable tool for measuring community ambulation on participation level. However, a user manual seems to be helpful. PMID: 30346912 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Certification criteria for stroke units in Germany : Update 2018.
This article describes the revised criteria for certified stroke units (SU) in Germany that will apply from 1 October 2018. Due to the high level of quality only minor adjustments and specifications were necessary in many places and the majority of criteria remained unchanged. For the first time a uniform personnel quota of ≥1.75 full-time staff per monitor bed is defined, which is a better reflection of the treatment reality. The evidence-based process of acute vascular imaging using computed tomography angiography (CTA) and alternatively magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is now defined as a minimum rate of≥20 % ...

Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) related acute stroke causing Transient Global Amnesia
Transient global amnesia (TGA) presents as an acute anterograde amnesia that generally resolves within 24 hrs.1 Werner et al. had noted increasing TGA since severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak in their hospital in Germany and reported 16 patients with TGA between February 1st and May 15th 2020 compared to their 10-year average of 9.72 In our series we noted 2 patients who presented with TGA secondary to acute hippocampal stroke in COVID-19 positive patients.

Intravenous Thrombolysis in Posterior Circulation Stroke
Conclusions: Up to date, no data about PCIS and IVT are available from RTCs. Based on limited results from retrospective clinical studies and case series, IVT is safer for use in PCIS than in ACIS. Patients with brainstem ischemia, vertebral artery occlusion, and absence of basilar or posterior cerebral artery occlusion could be considered for treatment with IVT even in borderline cases. Time to IVT in PCIS seems to be a less crucial factor than in ACIS. IVT for PCIS may be beneficial even after 4.5 h from symptom onset.
