“A Lot of Things Passed Me by”: Rural Stroke Survivors’ and Caregivers’ Experience of Receiving Education From Health Care Providers
ConclusionsUnderstanding the experience of receiving education for survivors and caregivers will help practitioners provide the right education, to the right people, at the right time, and in the right way to better support underserved groups.

Patients' Time at Home after a Stroke Varies by Hospital
A new study has found that stroke patients spend more of the year following their stroke at home, as opposed to in a nursing home or in the hospital, if they are treated at a rural hospital or a hospital which typically treats higher rates of stroke patients. The correlation between more home time and lower rates of major adverse cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality suggests that home time could be a marker of care quality.

UNM ’s Project ACCESS: A State-of-the-Art Stroke Care Network
Highlights the impacts of the University of New Mexico's Access to Critical Cerebral Emergency Support Services (ACCESS) project, which uses a telemedicine network to connect rural hospitals from around the state to stroke specialists. Being able to assess and treat many stroke patients rather than transferring them to a stroke center means faster care for patients and significant savings for rural hospitals.

Cost-effectiveness of remote robotic mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: This analysis suggests that RR-EVT as an innovative solution to expedite EVT is cost-effective. An RR-EVT system could potentially extend access to care in underserved communities and rural areas, as well as improve care for socioeconomically disadvantaged populations affected by health inequities.PMID:36670531 | DOI:10.3171/2022.12.JNS222115

When Seconds Count: One Funder's Work to Improve Stroke Outcomes in Rural America
Highlights the philanthropic work of the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust to expand and enhance stroke care in the upper Midwest, with a specific focus on their recent work in Nebraska. Stroke mortality in rural areas can be as much as 30% higher than in urban areas, but investments in these largely-rural states with longer emergency response time work to reduce this disparity.

Risk and space: modelling the accessibility of stroke centers using day- & amp; nighttime population distribution and different transportation scenarios
CONCLUSIONS: In general, we reveal inequivalence of the risks in case of a stroke depending on locations and times of the day. The ability to drive at high average speeds is a crucial factor in emergency care. Further important factors are the different population distribution at day and night and the locations of health care facilities. With the increasing centralization of hospital locations, rural residents in particular will face a worse accessibility situation.PMID:34187473 | DOI:10.1186/s12942-021-00284-y
