Dabigatran and Warfarin are Both Used for Stroke-prevention in Patients with AF but their Side effects Differ
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Dabigatran and warfarin offer similar stroke-prevention efficacy in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but their side effect profiles differ, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis of real-world clinical practice. “There could be many reasons for the differences in our findings, such as differences in the quality of evidence of...

Surgery and Stenting Safe, Effective Lowering Long-Term Risk of Stroke
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Stenting and surgery are equally effective at lowering the long-term risk of stroke from a narrowed carotid artery, according to results of CREST – a 10-year, federally funded clinical trial led by researchers at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Florida. The results are being published today online in the New England Journal [...]

Women with AF have a Higher Risk of Death and CVD
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Women with atrial fibrillation (AF) are at somewhat higher risk of death and cardiovascular disease (CVD) than men with the condition, a new systematic review and meta-analysis confirms. “Physicians should be aware of this and they should also make sure they treat women as aggressively as men,” Connor Emdin, a doctoral student at The George...

Stent-retriever Therapy Improves the Rate of Functional Independence for Acute Ischemic Patients
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Stent-retriever therapy for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke improves the rate of functional independence at 90 days, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis. Stent retrievers are deployed in an occluded vessel, temporarily expanded into the body of a thrombus, and then retracted along with the thrombus. Dr. Mark... [Read More]

Impact of transesophageal echocardiography on clinical management of patients over age 50 with cryptogenic stroke and normal transthoracic echocardiogram
CONCLUSIONIn our study population, when performed subsequent to a normal TTE in patients aged >50 years with cryptogenic stroke, TEE demonstrated a high diagnostic value, but had minimal incremental effect on patient management. Journal of Hospital Medicine 2015. © 2015 Society of Hospital Medicine

Pathway variation analysis (PVA): Modelling and simulations
In this study, we propose a novel methodology, called pathway variation analysis (PVA), to identify, simulate and analyse variations from the patient care pathways. PVA method includes patient ward level journey dataset and qualitative staff interviews to simulate patient variations. The proposed methodology had been applied to the stroke care services of a hospital, which increased their key performance from 73% to 84.97%. A PVA methodology is proposed which simulated patient diversions from the care pathway by modelling hospital operational parameters, assessing the accuracy of clinical decisions and performance measures...

Evaluating the impact of a simulation study in emergency stroke care
Publication date: Available online 16 September 2015 Source:Operations Research for Health Care Author(s): Thomas Monks, Mark Pearson, Martin Pitt, Ken Stein, Martin A. James Very few discrete-event simulation studies follow up on recommendations with evaluation of whether modelled benefits have been realised and the extent to which modelling contributed to any change. This paper evaluates changes made to the emergency stroke care pathway at a UK hospital informed by a simulation modelling study. The aims of the study were to increase the proportion of people with strokes that undergo a time-sensitive treatment to b...

STOPGAP: Stroke patient management and capacity planning
The objective is to ensure that capacity constraints are met, while moving as few patients as possible. While our theoretical solution and implementation focus on the specifics of the Belfast Trust, the methodology is clearly generalizable to other hospital settings in different settings.

Compliance with national guidelines for stroke in Radiology
Publication date: Available online 14 September 2015 Source:Operations Research for Health Care Author(s): Izabela Komenda, Vincent Knight, Hannah Mary Williams Stroke is a medical emergency, and if patient outcomes are to be optimised there should be no delays in accessing treatment. This project focuses on the application of Operational Research methodology to investigate how a hospital can comply with the revised computerised tomography (CT) scanning guidelines for stroke. Such guidelines, released by the Royal College of Physicians recommend a 50% reduction in time from hospital admission to report of a CT head sc...

The scope for improvement in hyper-acute stroke care in Scotland
Publication date: Available online 11 September 2015 Source:Operations Research for Health Care Author(s): Evin Uzun Jacobson, Steffen Bayer, James Barlow, Martin Dennis, Mary Joan MacLeod Thrombolysis is associated with reduced disability for selected patients who have suffered ischemic stroke. However only a fraction of all patients who have suffered this type of stroke receive thrombolysis. The short time window of 4.5 h in which treatment is licensed means that rapid care and well-organised pathways are essential. We studied measures to increase the uptake of thrombolysis through a better understanding of the ho...
