Mashup Score: 14Fracture Risk Among Stroke Survivors According to Poststroke Disability Status and Stroke Type - 17 hour(s) ago
BACKGROUND: Stroke survivors face physical and cognitive challenges, leading to an increased dependency and a higher fall risk. We aimed to investigate the impact of poststroke disability and stroke

Mashup Score: 12Stroke Volume: The Primary Outcome Equalizer? - 17 hour(s) ago
Ischemic stroke lesion volume at follow-up is an important surrogate outcome in acute stroke trials. Multiple issues outside of the stroke itself (aspiration pneumonia, pulmonary embolism, etc.) can introduce noise in the clinical treatment effect of acute stroke care. Imaging outcomes soon after treatment help to avoid the confounding aspects of post-treatment care. It is currently not known what differences in infarct size at 48 hours are meaningful, and this study aimed to identify such values. The

Mashup Score: 14
After a cryptogenic stroke, many patients undergo placement of an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM) to detect paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Because placement of an ICM is invasive, many patients are hesitant to und ergo the procedure. This study provides information about a patient population that might be more likely to benefit from placement of an ICM. In this article, the authors retrospectively reviewed cases of cryptogenic stroke who underwent ICM placement at 8 stroke centers in Japan from

The authors of the present study address an important and topical question: What is the best imaging modality to define large core infarcts? Over the last 2 years, multiple RCTs (RESCUE-Japan Limit, ANGEL-ASPECT, SELECT-2) have demonstrated the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large core infarcts. These studies used a combination of modalities to define large core, including non-contrast head CT (NCCT) using the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS), as well as
