Factors associated with cognitive impairment at 3, 6, and 12 months after the first stroke among Lebanese survivors
ConclusionThe risk of PSCI among Lebanese stroke survivors was high especially in the acute phase, depending on various determinants. Health care providers are invited to implement an emergency rehabilitation program for an appropriate successful management of the risk factors in order to reduce stroke burden and to improve overall cognitive performance.

Factors influencing employment after minor stroke and NSTEMI
Aim: To study the effect of cognitive function, fatigue and emotional symptoms on employment after a minor ischemic stroke compared to non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Material and methods: We included 217 patients with minor ischemic stroke and 133 NSTEMI patients employed at baseline aged 18 –70 years. Minor stroke was defined as modified Rankin scale (mRS) 0–2 at day seven or at discharge if before. Included NSTEMI patients had the same functional mRS. We applied a selection of cognitive tests and the patients completed questionnaires measuring symptoms of anxiety, depression and f atigue at follow up.

Association between self-perceived psychological stress and transitory ischaemic attack and minor stroke: a case–control study
ConclusionsThere is a strong association between self-perceived psychological stress and TIA. The imbalance between effort and reward at work is also clearly related to TIA.ResumenIntroducciónEl ictus tiene una etiopatogenia compleja en la que influyen un gran número de factores de riesgo. Existe un creciente interés por el estudio de los cambios fisiopatológicos que conlleva el estrés y su posible relación con la enfermedad cerebrovascular. El propósito de este trabajo es valorar la fuerza de asociación entre la exposición al estrés y el ictus.MétodoRealizamos un estudio de casos y controles (1:1), comparando l...

Impact of Upper Limb Function and Employment Status on Return to Work of Blue-Collar Workers after Stroke
Return to work (RTW) after stroke is the ultimate goal of the working population to achieve economic independence and well-being. Previous studies have reported lower RTW rates of blue-collar workers versus white-collar workers. Thus, investigating predictive factors for RTW of blue-collar workers is meaningful to improve RTW after stroke. Here, we investigate the physical, cognitive, and social factors associated with the RTW of blue-collar workers after stroke.

Stigma experienced by Chinese patients with stroke during inpatient rehabilitation and its correlated factors: a cross-sectional study.
CONCLUSIONS: Stigma was moderate, and internalized stigma may be more apparent; therefore, physicians should pay more attention to patients who report or show signs of experiencing stroke-related stigma. PMID: 31104577 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Why do people misunderstand stroke symptoms? How background knowledge affects causal attributions for ambiguous stroke symptoms.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings show how different information about stroke survivors affect people's attributions for survivors' behaviour; this has important implications for accurate diagnosis and effective rehabilitation that targets these attributions.

Identification of the components associated with functioning using the international classification of functioning, disability and health comprehensive core set for stroke in Indian stroke survivors.
CONCLUSION: The results show a reduction in frequencies in ICF activities and participation categories corresponding to basic activities of daily living. Categories corresponding to employment and social integration showed little or no improvement. PMID: 28545344 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Assessment of Economic Aspects of Stroke in Different Clinical Management Settings: Academic vs. Non-academic (P3.055)
Conclusions:The academic status of healthcare facilities plays a key role in cost and charge of the management of stroke patients. Despite more employment of laboratory, imaging and resources in academic setting, comparison of prognosis, patient safety and clinical outcome in two groups remains unclear. Significant decrease in the cost-to-charge ratio may cause higher patients’ copay which reflects more in academic settings and uninsured individuals. Further studies to investigate effects of alterations in the cost-to-charge ratio on patients’ beneficiary is necessary.Disclosure: Dr. Fahimi has nothing to discl...

Socioeconomic factors ’ effect on return to work after first stroke
ConclusionPatients with low socioeconomic status less often RTW 1 year after stroke.Impaired functional status after stroke is more common in patients with lower socioeconomic status and mediates socioeconomic differences in RTW. Improvement of functional status should be targeted to facilitate RTW among stroke patients with low socioeconomic status.
