Age-Specific Vascular Risk Factor Profiles According to Stroke Subtype Stroke
BackgroundIschemic and hemorrhagic stroke are increasingly recognized as heterogeneous diseases with distinct subtypes and etiologies. Information on variation in distribution of vascular risk factors according to age in stroke subtypes is limited. We investigated the prevalence of vascular risk factors in stroke subtypes in relation to age.Methods and ResultsWe studied a prospective multicenter university hospital–based cohort of 4033 patients. For patients with ischemic stroke caused by large artery atherosclerosis, small vessel disease, or cardioembolism and for patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage or an...

Risk of Ischemic Stroke Associated With Calcium Supplements With or Without Vitamin D: A Nested Case-Control Study Stroke
BackgroundThere is controversy surrounding the risk of ischemic stroke associated with the use of calcium supplements either in monotherapy or in combination with vitamin D.Methods and ResultsA nested case‐control study was performed with patients aged 40 to 89 years old, among whom a total of 2690 patients had a first episode of nonfatal ischemic stroke and for which 19 538 controls were randomly selected from the source population and frequency‐matched with cases for age, sex, and calendar year. Logistic regression provided the odds ratios while adjusting for confounding factors. A sensitivity analysis was performe...

Efficacy of a Chronic Care-Based Intervention on Secondary Stroke Prevention Among Vulnerable Stroke Survivors: A Randomized Controlled Trial Original Articles
Conclusions This intervention did not improve SBP control beyond that attained in usual care among vulnerable stroke survivors. A community-centered component could strengthen the intervention impact. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00861081.

Comparative effects of intensive-blood pressure versus standard-blood pressure-lowering treatment in patients with severe ischemic stroke in the ENCHANTED trial
Conclusion: Intensive BP lowering is associated with increased mortality in patients with severe AIS despite lowering the risk of ICH. Further randomized trials are required to provide reliable evidence over the optimum SBP target in the most serious type of AIS. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01422616.

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

More Than 50 Percent Reduction in LDL Cholesterol in Patients With Target LDL & lt;70 mg/dL After a Stroke
CONCLUSIONS: In this post hoc analysis of the TST trial, targeting an LDL cholesterol of <70 mg/dL reduced the risk of primary outcome compared with 100±10 mg/dL provided LDL cholesterol reduction from baseline was superior to 50%, thereby suggesting that the magnitude of LDL cholesterol reduction was as important to consider as the target level to achieve.REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.CLINICALTRIALS: gov; Unique identifier: NCT01252875; https://clinicaltrialsregister.eu; Unique identifier: EUDRACT2009-A01280-57.PMID:37376989 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.123.042621

Trends in Vascular Risk Factor Treatment and Control in US Stroke Survivors: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (1999-2010) Original Articles
Conclusions— Despite improvements in blood pressure treatment and control and cholesterol treatment for women and cholesterol treatment and control for men, stroke secondary prevention through treatment and control of vascular risk factors remains suboptimal. Urgent action is needed to improve secondary prevention to reduce stroke morbidity and mortality in this high-risk group.

Heart rate variability and functional outcome in ischemic stroke: a multiparameter approach
Conclusion:While HRV assessed by linear methods seems to have long-term prognostic value, complexity measures of HRV reflect the impact of the neurological state on distinct, temporary properties of heart rate dynamic. Respiratory rate during the first days of the stroke is associated with early and long-term neurological outcome and should be further investigated as a potential risk factor.

Clopidogrel Use Is Associated With an Increased Prevalence of Cerebral Microbleeds in a Stroke-Free Population: The Rotterdam Study Stroke
Conclusions In stroke-free individuals, clopidogrel use was associated with a higher prevalence and higher number of CMBs. Whether this association is causal requires confirmation in prospective studies, especially given the small number of participants taking clopidogrel and the possibility of residual confounding in this study.

Cross-Sectional Survey of Workload and Burnout Among Japanese Physicians Working in Stroke Care: The Nationwide Survey of Acute Stroke Care Capacity for Proper Designation of Comprehensive Stroke Center in Japan (J-ASPECT) Study Original Articles
Conclusions— The primary risk factors for burnout are heavy workload, short sleep duration, relatively little experience, and low mental quality of life. Prospective research is required to confirm these findings and develop programs for preventing burnout.

The TeleStroke Mimic (TM)-Score: A Prediction Rule for Identifying Stroke Mimics Evaluated in a Telestroke Network Stroke
Conclusions SMs differ substantially from their iCVD counterparts in their vascular risk profiles and other characteristics. Decision-support tools based on predictive models, such as our TM Score, may help clinicians consider alternate diagnosis and potentially detect SMs during complex, time-critical telestroke evaluations.

Abstract 11: Temporal Changes in NIHSS Documentation and Stroke Severity among Patients Treated with Thrombolysis in the Massachusetts Coverdell Registry Session Title: Concurrent I Session B: Oral Abstracts on Stroke Topics
Discussion: IV tPA use in MA Coverdell patients is increasing and now reaches 25% of all early arriving subjects. NIHSS documentation is increasing as well, especially among subjects with lower NIHSS scores. The median NIHSS in RISS or Too Mild patients is reassuringly low, and decreased significantly among Too Mild patients. These data, coupled with the fact that unadjusted rates of discharge home among IV tPA patients are increasing while severity-adjusted rates are not, suggests that more patients previously felt to be Too Mild are now receiving IV tPA. Further efforts are still warranted.

Outcomes After Acute Ischemic Stroke in the United States: Does Residential ZIP Code Matter? Stroke
Conclusions Patients from lower-income quartiles had decreased reperfusion on the first admission day, compared with patients from higher-income quartiles. The cost of hospitalization of patients from higher-income quartiles was significantly higher than that of patients from lowest-income quartiles, despite longer hospital stays in the latter group. This might be partially attributable to a lower use of key procedures among patients from lowest-income quartile.
