Background and Purpose— Previous estimates of the number and prevalence of individuals experiencing the effects of stroke in Canada are out of date and exclude critical population groups. It is essential to have complete data that report on stroke disability for monitoring and planning purposes. The objective was to provide an updated estimate of the number of individuals experiencing the effects of stroke in Canada (and its regions), trending since 2000 and forecasted prevalence to 2038…

Temporal trends in incidence, recurrence and prevalence of stroke in an era of ageing populations, a longitudinal study of the total Swedish population
TLDR
Decreasing incidence rates of stroke have offset an increase in both absolute and relative numbers of stroke that otherwise would have taken place due to improved survival and an ageing population.
Long-term trends in the prevalence of patients hospitalized with ischemic stroke from 1995 to 2010 in Sweden
TLDR
The overall prevalence of ischemic stroke in Sweden increased until 2000, but then remained stable followed by a slight decline, and the absolute number of IS survivors has markedly increased, mainly because of demographic changes.
Regional and socioeconomic disparities in cardiovascular disease in Canada during 2005–2016: evidence from repeated nationwide cross-sectional surveys
TLDR
Geographical and socioeconomic disparities should be taken into account during the further efforts to strengthen preventive measures and optimise healthcare resources for heart disease and stroke in Canada.
Complementary medicine use in stroke survivors: a US nationally representative survey
TLDR
Stroke patients were less likely to take advantage of complementary medicine than the general population and might profit from better information about the existing possibilities regarding prevention and rehabilitation.
A Profile of Older Adults With a History of Stroke Receiving Home Care in Ontario, Canada
TLDR
Community-dwelling individuals with a history of stroke show higher levels of impairment and limitations compared with those without, suggesting areas where home care resources could be improved to help manage the chronic effects of stroke.
Trend of the burden of chronic illnesses: using the Canadian Community Health Survey.
Sex differences in direct healthcare costs following stroke: a population-based cohort study
TLDR
The findings inform public payers of the drivers of costs following stroke and suggest the need for sex-based cost-effectiveness evaluation of stroke interventions with consideration of costs in all care settings.

  • S. Marzolini
  • Medicine, Psychology
    Journal of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation and prevention
  • 2020
TLDR
There is an urgent need to create cross-program collaborations between hospitals, outpatient stroke rehabilitation, CR, and community programs to improve linkage between health services, with a focus on increasing access to CR.

Age‐Specific and Sex‐Specific Trends in Life‐Sustaining Care After Acute Stroke
TLDR
Use of life‐sustaining care after acute stroke increased between 2003 and 2017, and women and those at older ages had lower odds of intensive care, although the differences narrowed over time.

TLDR
Although cause could not be established, stroke in this age group was associated with more disability, more restrictions in the activities of daily life, poorer health and more concomitant health problems than in those without stroke.

TLDR
Until better and more stroke studies are available, the WHO stroke estimates may provide the best data for understanding the stroke burden in countries where no stroke data currently exists.

TLDR
The effect of stroke on dementia incidence in the population is not explained by common risk factors and more research is needed to determine to what extent efforts to reduce the incidence of stroke will affect the incidenceof dementia.

TLDR
Health-related quality of life appears to be relatively good for the majority of patients 6 years after stroke, and survivors of stroke appear to adjust well psychologically to their illness.

TLDR
The costs of stroke care in Canada can be substantially reduced, at the same time as improving patient outcomes, with the greater use of known effective treatment modalities.

TLDR
There is a need for prospective cohort studies in diverse populations, which utilize a consensus pediatric stroke classification system and a standard evaluation of risk factors and outcome, so that treatment and prevention strategies can be developed.

TLDR
Analyses of Manitoba administrative data revealed that while the total number of stroke cases varied substantially across the algorithms, the trend in prevalence was stable regardless of the algorithm adopted.
