Background
Poststroke balance impairment adversely affects stroke outcomes and addressing the impairment is expected to constitute an important focus of neurorehabilitation.Aims
To examine the prevalence and factors associated with balance impairment after stroke.Methods
Ninety-five stroke survivors undergoing neurorehabilitation at 2 government hospitals in Northern Nigeria participated in this cross-sectional study. Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used to assess the presence of balance impairment (BBS score of 0-20). Prevalence of balance impairment was presented as frequency and percentage while demographic and stroke-related determinants of balance impairments were identified using logistic regression analysis.Results
Thirty-five (36.8%) stroke survivors had balance impairment, and age, gender, and poststroke duration were statistically significant determinants. Stroke survivors aged less than 40 years (odds ratio [OR]?=?.14 [confidence interval [CI]?=?.20-.94]) and 40-59 years (OR?=?.23 [CI?=?.06-.81]) had a lower likelihood of having balance impairment compared to stroke survivors aged 60 years and above. Similarly, males had a lower likelihood of having balance impairment (OR?=?1.60 [CI?=?.05-.55]) compared to females while those in the acute/subacute phase of stroke had a 7-fold likelihood of having balance impairment (OR?=?7.74 [CI?=?2.63-22.79]) compared to those with chronic stroke.Conclusions
Poststroke balance impairment appears to be significantly influenced by stroke survivors’ age, gender, and poststroke duration. Hence, these variables should be considered when planning rehabilitation strategies for improving balance after stroke. 相似文献2.

Background
We present a single institution registry with the novel feature of 90-day outcome assessments on all hospitalized acute stroke patients, inclusive of every patient with a primary discharge diagnosis of transient ischemic attack (TIA), acute ischemic stroke (AIS), nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods
Patient data obtained in the HOPES registry include demographics, comorbid diagnoses, medications, health behaviors, laboratory values, imaging studies, vital signs, and outcome measures, most notably the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90days.Results
From May 2016 to December 31, 2017, 1607 patients were enrolled in the HOPES registry. 90-day outcome assessments were captured on 1555 patients (97%): 1096 AIS, 230 ICH, 110 SAH, and 119 TIA patients. Mortality rates and 90-day outcomes were most favorable for TIA patients. Mortality and 90-day disability scores were poorest for patients in the ICH group.Conclusions
The inclusion of 90-day outcomes data will allow HOPES to stand apart among stroke registries as a new standard for stroke outcomes research. The registry will provide the necessary comprehensive data that the field needs as we transition our focus of stroke research to poststroke recovery. 相似文献3.

Background
Poststroke, sensory deficits are not uncommon. In spite of the close association between the sensory and motor recovery, the deficits are usually underemphasized. Mirror therapy (MT), a neural-based approach for the motor deficit has not been explored for the sensory impairment. The objective of the present study was to develop and determine the effect of a MT program for sensori-motor impairment among poststroke subjects.Methods Design
Randomized controlled trial.Setting
Functional therapy laboratory of Rehabilitation Institute.Participants
Thirty-one chronic poststroke subjects (17 experimental and 14 controls), aged between 30 and 60years, with ≤ diminished light touch in the hand.Outcome Measure
Semmes Weinstein Monofilament (cutaneous threshold), 2-Point discrimination test (touch discrimination) and Fugl-Meyer Assessment (hand motor recovery).Intervention
The experimental group received sensory stimulus such as tactile perception and motor tasks on the less-affected hand using mirror box. The control counterparts underwent only dose-matched conventional program. 30 sessions with a frequency of 5/week were imparted to the groups.Results
Post intervention, there was a significant (P < .004) increase up to 30% positive touch-response for the hand quadrants among the experimental group in comparison to only 13.5% rise for the same among the controls. The cutaneous threshold of the less-affected palm also improved significantly among the experimental subjects in comparison to the controls (P = .04).Conclusion
MT may be considered as a promising regime for enhancing cutaneous sensibility in stroke. The mirror illusion induced by MT may be utilized for sensory and motor deficits as well as for the more-affected and less-affected hands. 相似文献4.

Objective
The aim of this prospective cohort study was to assess the incidence and risk factors of delirium following acute ischemic stroke, as well as its effects on functional outcome.Methods
Two hundred and sixty-one patients with acute ischemic stroke were screened for delirium during the first week after admission. Delirium was diagnosed according to the Confusion Assessment Method. If delirium was present, delirium rating scale-revised-98 was used to assess its severity. Neurologic deficits were assessed with the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Brain magnetic resonance imaging assessment quantified the infarction, white matter lesions, and medial temporal lobe atrophy. Functional outcome assessment included the modified Rankin Scale and Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale at 3 and 6 months after the index stroke.Results
Thirty-eight (14.6%) patients with acute ischemic stroke developed delirium during the first week of admission. Patients with poststroke delirium (PSD) were older, had higher NIHSS scores on admission, and were more likely to have a previous stroke, an infection, and a left cortical infarct. Furthermore, left cortical infarction, older age, severer neurological deficit and having a previous stroke increased the risk of PSD. PSD was associated with a worse functional outcome.Conclusion
The incidence of delirium was 14.8% in the first week after admission with acute ischemic stroke. Age, having a previous stroke, stroke severity, and left-cortical infarction were independently predictors of PSD. PSD may result in a significantly worse functional outcome. 相似文献5.

Background
Evidence from outside the typical clinical research setting, such as the real-world setting, complements evidence coming from randomized controlled trials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate all available evidence from the real-world observational trials about long-term outcomes of treatment with intravenous (IV) recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) compared with not treated with IV rt-PA (non-rt-PA) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods
We searched PubMed and Embase until March 1, 2018 for observational studies reporting matched or adjusted results comparing IV rt-PA versus non-rt-PA in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Outcomes assessed included all-cause mortality, hospital readmission rates, and independence rates. Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used as a measure of comparing between patients treated with IV rt-PA and non-rt-PA.Results
Six observational trials with 16,399 participants were identified. The use of IV rt-PA in acute ischemic stroke patients was associated with a lower risk of mortality (hazard ratio .61; 95% confidence interval, .52-.70; P < .00001), and there was no heterogeneity across trials. There was no evidence of an effect on hospital readmission rates and independence rates.Conclusions
IV rt-PA is associated with reduced long-term mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients. 相似文献6.

Background
The objective of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) based on leptomeningeal collateral (LMC) status and other parameters in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) terminus occlusion treated with endovascular treatment (EVT).Methods
All eligible patients from January 2013 to December 2017 undergoing EVT were retrospectively reviewed. The regional leptomeningeal score was used to assess the LMCs on baseline CTA. The collateral status measured by the LMC score (0-20) was trichotomized into 3 groups: good (17-20), intermediate (11-16), and poor (0-10).Results
Our sample included a total of 119 eligible patients (60 males; mean age, 73 years) with a median baseline National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of 14. Patients with a good LMC score had a lower baseline mean NIHSS score, a higher mean Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score, and a higher mean clot burden score (CBS). Baseline NIHSS score <15 (odds ratio [OR] 3.69 95% confidence ratio [CI]: 1.32-10.29, P?=?.013), CBS ≥ 6 (OR 3.97 95%CI: 1.05-14.99, P?=?.042), good LMC score (OR 5.14 95%CI: 1.62-16.26, P?=?.005) and successful recanalization (OR 11.55 95%CI: 2.72-48.99 P?=?.001) were independent predictors of good clinical outcomes.Conclusions
CTA-based LMC status and CBS are powerful predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with an acute ICA terminus occlusion treated with EVT. 相似文献7.

Background
To validate iScore and PLAN score in acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy.Methods
iScore and PLAN score were calculated for consecutive acute ischemic stroke undergoing thrombectomy were included and death at 1 month and death at 3 months were recorded. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the discrimination ability of the scales for death.Results
Two hundred and twenty-nine patients were included, 25.3% (58 of 229) of patient died at 1 month after thrombectomy and 25.8% (59 of 229) of them died at 3 months after thrombectomy. The receiver operator curve analysis found that iScore (area under the curve [AUC] = .76, 95% confidence interval [CI] .69-.83) was numerically better than PLAN score (AUC?=?.73, 95% CI .66-.81) for predicting death at day 90. The cut-off for iScore is 193, with sensitivity 64%, specificity 79%, positive predictive value 75% and negative predictive value 69%.Conclusions
The iScore scale is a valid predictive tool for death in anterior circulation large vessel occlusions undergoing thrombectomy. 相似文献8.

Background
The treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) has revolutionized in the last decade. We sought to compile the most relevant literature published about the evolution in treating this disabling and fatal disease.Methods
A literature review of recent studies describing early treatment options like intravenous tissue plasminogen activator to the latest mechanical thrombectomy (MT) techniques was performed. We described in a chronological order the evolution of LVO treatment.Results
Recanalization rates with newer techniques and MT devices approach a 90% of effectiveness. Timely interventions have also resulted in better clinical outcomes with approximately 50% of patient achieving functional independence at 90 days. At least 14 new third generation thrombectomy devices are currently being evaluated in in vitro and clinical studies.Conclusions
The treatment of LVO with MT is feasible and safe. MT is standard of care in treating acute ischemic stroke due to LVO. 相似文献9.

Objectives
To describe the neurological manifestations of invasive aspergillosis presenting with a focal neurological deficit compatible with an acute stroke.Materials and Methods
Retrospective analysis of a clinical series of patients between 2011 and 2017 with invasive aspergillosis and neurological symptoms compatible with an acute brain stroke. Clinical and epidemiological data, microbiological results, radiological findings, treatment, and course were recorded.Results
Five patients were selected with a mean age of 55.4years. All patients were immunosuppressed. In 4, systemic infection was unknown. In every case, neurology on call was alerted because of acute focal neurological symptoms. None of the patients received revascularization procedures. Galactomannan antigen was positive in all of the patients and culture was positive in 3. Mortality was 100% despite specific antifungal treatment.Conclusions
Acute stroke can be the first manifestation of disseminated aspergillosis. This form of presentation was frequent in our series and should be suspected in immunocompromised patients with acute neurological deficits. 相似文献11.

Background
The clinical presentations and outcomes of patients with high-grade stenosis of internal carotid artery (ICA) are highly variable. We investigate the influence of different stroke severity on outcomes of ischemic stroke patients with high-grade stenosis of ipsilateral ICA.Methods
372 acute first-ever ischemic stroke patients with high-grade stenosis (70%-99%) or occlusion of ipsilateral ICA were enrolled and followed up for 5years. Stroke severities of the enrolled patients were grouped according to the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project classification system as total anterior circulation infarcts (TACI) or non-TACI. Demographic features, vascular risk factors, comorbidities, and outcomes were compared between the 2 groups.Results
A total of 71 patients (19.1%) were presented with TACI. Of laboratory data, the values of white blood cell count and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were significantly higher in patients with TACI (P?=?.008 and P?=?.003, respectively). Of clinical course, the occurrence of initial impaired conscious, stroke-in-evolution, pneumonia, gastrointestinal bleeding, and urinary tract infection were significantly higher in patients with TACI. The prevalence of dependent functional status was higher in patients with TACI. Multivariate Cox regression revealed that TACI is a significant predictor of 5-year all-cause mortality in first-ever ischemic stroke patients with high-grade stenosis of ipsilateral ICA (HR [hazard ratio] = 3.66, 95% confidence interval = 2.23-6.00, P < .001).Conclusions
TACI is associated with increased risk of 5-year mortality in ischemic stroke patients with high-grade stenosis of ipsilateral ICA. Intensive medical treatment for stroke prevention in patients with severe carotid artery stenosis is warranted. 相似文献12.

Objective
To compare the effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) versus Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) on Lateropulsion following stroke.Methods
Patients with Stroke and Burke Lateropulsion Scale (BLS) scores greater than or equal to 2 gave informed consent to receive sinusoidal 1 Hz DC (0-2 mA) anodal stimulation over the affected parietal cortex versus similar GVS with ipsilesional mastoidal anode. Seated haptic center of pressure (COP-X) was measured using an AMTI analog-to-digital forceplate. An inclinometer (Biopac ) measured lateral thoracic tilt. COP-X Power Spectra were analyzed over 3 frequency intervals: 0-.3 Hz, .3-1 Hz, and 1-3 Hz.Results
Six males/4 females age 66 ± 9.5 standard deviation with admission BLS scores of 5.4 ± 3.7 within 8.6 ± 8.1 days poststroke were enrolled. COP-X medial-lateral speed increased for both the tDCS and the GVS protocols compared to sham condition. Fourier Analysis of COP-X velocity for 0-.3 Hz responses showed a significant increase for tDCS stimulation. The .3-1 Hz responses for the tDCS condition were decreased from baseline. Lateral thoracic tilt showed significant improvement for tDCS compared to Sham stimulation at 10 minutes and for GVS versus Sham at 15 minutes.Discussion
Anodal tDCS over the ipsilesional PIVC increases low frequency postural responses usually attributed to visual control with down regulation of median frequency vestibular responses, biasing postural control toward more dependence on visual as opposed to vestibular control.Conclusions
2 mA sinusoidal 1 Hz anodal tDCS over the ipsi-lesional PIVC or similar ipsi-lesional anodal GVS improve Lateropulsion following stroke. 相似文献13.

Background
Access to reperfusion therapies in patients with large vessel occluding acute ischemic stroke demands process reorganization and optimization. Neurovascular networks are being built up to provide 24/7 endovascular stroke therapy service. In times of an increasingly complex stroke rescue chain little is known about patients’ and their relatives’ treatment awareness.Methods
All patients, who received any kind of acute reperfusion treatment between January and August 2017 in the university hospital Aachen, and their proxies, were included in the survey. Patients were either primarily or secondarily transferred.Results
For all questions regarding stroke treatment patients and their caregivers provided concurring answers. 40% of both patients and caregivers did not understand the treatment that was performed. Finally, patients who perceived on their own that stroke detection was delayed had significantly longer onset to door times than patients who did not have this impression.Conclusions
This study showed that patients’ and proxies’ answers correlated significantly. In case of patients’ unavailability extrapolation of treatment satisfaction from answers by proxies might be permitted. High percentages of patients and caregivers do not understand relevant information, possibly due to limits of communication in an emergency setting or deficits in communication during the hospital stay. More emphasis should be laid on providing further information during the hospital stay. 相似文献14.

Background
Debate continues about whether percutaneous closure of patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a better strategy for the treatment of patients with cryptogenic stroke in comparison with medical therapy alone. We performed an updated meta-analysis of 6 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to assess the effectiveness and safety of percutaneous closure of PFO as secondary prevention for patients with previous cryptogenic stroke compared to medical therapy.Materials and Methods
MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, conference proceedings, and Internet-based resources were retrieved in March 2018 for eligible RCTs. The primary effectiveness outcome was recurrent strokes.Results
Six studies meeting our selection criteria were identified. Among 3560 participants, 1889 patients were assigned to PFO closure and 1671 patients to medical therapy. There were no significant differences among the baseline characteristics. The pooled incidence of recurrent strokes was 1.96% in the PFO closure group and 4.60% in the medical therapy group (Relative risk [RR] .39, 95% confidence interval [CI] .18-.82, P?=?.01). Newly detected atrial fibrillation occurred in 77 of 1844 (4.18%) patients in the PFO closure group and in 12 of 1667 (.72%) patients in the medical therapy group (RR 4.56, 95% CI 2.21-9.41, P <.0001). There was no difference in terms of serious adverse events, total mortality or bleeding between 2 groups.Conclusions
Our updated meta-analysis suggests that in patients with PFO and cryptogenic stroke, the rate of recurrent stroke is significantly reduced with percutaneous closure of PFO compared to the medical therapy. 相似文献15.

Goal
Epilepsy is a major complication of stroke. There have been suggestions that patients with cardioembolic stroke are at a greater risk of developing seizures than other stroke subtypes. However, the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and cardioembolic stroke varies considerably across countries, generally higher in Western populations than in Asian populations. This study assessed whether ethnicity affects the association between AF and poststroke seizure (PSS) development. We hypothesized that Royal Melbourne Hospital ([RMH] Melbourne) patients will have significantly higher incidence of AF-related PSS than in the Jinling Hospital (Nanjing) population.Materials and Methods
This was a retrospective, multicenter cohort study including patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke admitted between 2008 and 2015. Occurrences of PSS were ascertained by reviewing medical records or telephone follow-up. To test the hypothesis of an interaction between ethnicity and AF for PSS occurrence, a logistic regression model with AF and ethnicity together with an ethnicity-by-AF interaction term was used.Findings
Of 782 patients followed-up for seizure development at RMH, 247 (31.6%) patients had AF, of whom 10 (4%) developed PSS. Of 1185 patients followed-up and included at JH, 54 (4.8%) patients with AF, of whom 4 (7.4%) developed PSS. At RMH, no significant association was found between AF and PSS; odds ratio .75, 95% confidence interval .4-1.6, (P?=?.4). At JH, there was a significant association between AF and increased PSS: OR 4.0, 95% CI 1.3-12.1, (P?=?.01), P for interaction?=?.03.Conclusion
Further understanding of genetic risks and environmental differences across ethnic populations and the role in PSS is required. 相似文献16.

Introduction and Goal
Lacunar stroke is defined as an <1.5 cm diameter infarct located in the territory of a perforating artery, that is not accessible for direct study using conventional imaging techniques. Diagnosis requires exclusion of other causes. It usually occurs in the context of chronic cerebral small vessel disease, which can be suspected during the neurosonography study in the form of high pulsatility [PI] or resistance index [RI]. Clinical research was performed to confirm that PI and RI correlate with cerebral small vessel lesion burden and to determine whether these parameters are useful for supporting a lacunar origin (LO) in acute stroke.Material and Methods
We prospectively recorded internal carotid artery resistivity and the Fazekas score for all patients with acute ischemic stroke who met inclusion but not exclusion criteria over a 6-month period.Results
The study population comprised 74 patients. A correlation was observed between the Fazekas score and resistivity. Both parameters predicted a LO, with an area under the curve of .78 and .696, respectively. The optimal cut-offs were PI?=?.96/RI?=?.58 for screening (sensitivity, 96%) and PI?=?1.46/RI?=?.83 for confirmation (specificity, 89%).Conclusions
Doppler ultrasound is a useful technique for determining the LO of acute stroke. 相似文献17.

Objective
Leukocytes play a crucial role in inflammation and immune response. This study aims to demonstrate the value of changes in leukocytes levels 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis to predict prognosis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS).Methods
From Jan 2016 to Oct 2017, the patients who suffered AIS to our center within 4.5 hours of symptom onset were all treated with recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator. Data from 213 AIS patients were analyzed. Patients were divided into 4 groups: persistent leukocytosis (PL), transient leukocytosis (TL), leukocytosis 24 hours (L24H) and no leukocytosis (NL). By comparison, the factors with statistically significant were selected in pairwise multiple comparisons. Good clinical outcome was defined as the Modified Rankin Scale score of 2 or lower. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the association of the indicators with clinical outcome.Results
By pairwise multiple comparisons, PL and L24H had higher baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score than NL and were likely to lead poor clinical outcomes. TL had a better prognosis than L24H. As the results of multivariable analyses shown, PL and L24H were risk factors to poor functional outcomes (odds ratio [OR] = 2.668, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.139-6.249, P = .024; OR?=?6.648, 95%CI?=?2.048-21.584, P = .002).Conclusion
Persistent leukocytosis and leukocytosis 24 hours both had higher baseline NIHSS scores, more serious stroke and were more likely to lead to unfavorable outcome. Therefore, changes in leukocytes levels 24 hours after intravenous thrombolysis could be predicted the short-term functional outcome of AIS patients. 相似文献18.

Background
The aim of this study was to systematically assess the effects of exercise rehabilitation program accompanied by experiential music for clinical recovery.Methods
This was a prospective randomized study with 65 stroke survivor patients. All cases underwent a neuropsychological assessment first as a prescreening test, during the admission at the Rehabilitation center (baseline), and 6 months poststroke. All patients received standard treatment for stroke in terms of medical care and rehabilitation. Additionally, all patients were separated into 2 Groups: a music Group (daily listening to experiential/traditional music), and a control Group (CG) with no experiential/traditional music therapy (standard care only). Computed tomography perfusion and full neurological examination including GCS were assessment. As Recovery was defined the improvement of cognitive and motor skills of the limb in the affected site, with an increase of muscle strength at least by 1/5 and with emotional progress.Results
Statistically significant differences were found between the Group CG and the rest of the patients in respect of Lesion size (P = .001) and CBF in affected area (P = .001). Μultivariate analysis revealed that only Group and Lesion size were independent predictors for Recovery (odd ratio [OR][95%confidence interval]) .11(.001-.133) and .798(.668-.954) respectively.Conclusion
The findings of this study suggest that the music-based exercise program has a positive effect on mood profile in stroke patients and Recovery rate is higher when exercise rehabilitation program was accompanied by an enriched sound environment with experiential music. 相似文献19.

Objective
To objectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of citalopram versus other antidepressant drugs in poststroke depression (PSD) treatment.Methods
We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared citalopram with other Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and Serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRIs) on PSD treatment. The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software with standard mean difference (SMD) or Relative risk (RR) and their 95% confidence interval (CI).Results
A total of 20 studies involving 1485 patients were included .The RR of efficacy index compared to other SSRIs was 1.04 [95% CI: .98-1.09, P?=?.17], and to SNRIs was 1.01 [95% CI: .93-1.09, P?=?.83]. The RR of cure index compared to other SSRIs was .99 [95% CI: .82-1.19, P?=?.88], and to SNRIs was .95 [95% CI: .71-1.27, P?=?.74]. Significant decreases on Hamilton Depression Scale scores were observed in favor of citalopram when compared to other SSRIs after 4-, 6-week treatment [SMD?=??.44, 95% CI: ?.85 to ?.03, P?=?.03; SMD?=??.50, 95% CI: ?.98 to ?.02, P?=?.04], and no significant difference was found with SNRIs in any week [P > .05]. The rate of adverse effects also showed no significant difference between citalopram and other antidepressants [P > .05].Conclusions
This meta-analysis indicates that the efficacy of citalopram is similar to that of other SSRIs and SNRIs, but citalopram takes action faster than other SSRIs. The adverse effects of citalopram have no significant difference compared to other antidepressants and those adverse effects are less and mild. 相似文献20.
