Poor Outcome After First-Ever Stroke Predictors for Death, Dependency, and Recurrent Stroke Within the First Year
TLDR
Heart diseases and dementia before the stroke seem to have an impact on mortality and recurrence after 1 year, and, when possible, treating these prestroke conditions may affect stroke morbidity and mortality favorably.Abstract:
Background and Purpose— The purpose of this study was to define predictors of poor outcome after a first-ever stroke. We studied risk factors and stroke severity at baseline in relationship to deat...read more

Outcomes validity and reliability of the modified Rankin scale: implications for stroke clinical trials: a literature review and synthesis.
TL;DR: The reported data support the view that the modified Rankin scale is a valuable instrument for assessing the impact of new stroke treatments, and patient comorbidities and socioeconomic factors should be considered in properly applying and interpreting the mRS.

Prevalence, incidence, and factors associated with pre-stroke and post-stroke dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The strong association of post-stroke dementia with multiple strokes and the prognostic value of other stroke characteristics highlight the central causal role of stroke itself as opposed to the underlying vascular risk factors and, thus, the likely effect of optimum acute stroke care and secondary prevention in reducing the burden of dementia.

TL;DR: Benefit of TAVI with the CoreValve Revalving System is maintained over time up to 1 year, with acceptable mortality rates at various time points, although procedural complications are strongly associated with early mortality at 30 days.

TL;DR: Clinicians and researchers are guided to consider sex and gender in their approach to diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases as a necessary and fundamental step towards precision medicine, which will benefit men's and women's health.

TL;DR: There is strong evidence that the decline in stroke mortality can be attributed to a combination of interventions and programs based on scientific findings and implemented with the purpose of reducing stroke risks, the most likely being improved control of hypertension.

TL;DR: Data support the involvement of ApoE ϵ4 in the pathogenesis of late-onset familial and sporadic AD and suggest it may operate as a susceptibility gene (risk factor) for the clinical expression of AD.
