Abstract
BACKGROUND Frailty in older individuals is an underappreciated condition that affects the incidence and/or prognosis of stroke. OBJECTIVES We evaluated the prevalence of pre-onset frailty in patients with acute first-onset and recurrent strokes and association between pre-onset frailty and functional disability at hospital discharge. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 210 acute stroke patients admitted to the Stroke Unit of Nippon Medical School Hospital during November 2021-June 2022. The mean participant age was 79.2 ± 7.4 years. Age, sex, pre-onset frailty, body mass index (BMI), stroke type, medical history, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission were evaluated. Frailty was defined as a clinical frailty scale (CFS) score ≥ 5. Frailty prevalence was calculated for all patients, and scores of functional disabilities at discharge were evaluated using modified Rankin scale. RESULTS Overall frailty prevalence was 31% in all stroke patients, with 24% and 47% of first-onset and recurrent strokes, respectively. Pre-onset frailty, NIHSS score at admission, age, stroke type, previous stroke, sex, BMI, dyslipidemia, and atrial fibrillation were significantly associated with functional disability at discharge. Logistic regression analysis revealed that CFS score, NIHSS score at admission, and previous stroke were independent predictors of functional disability at discharge. CONCLUSIONS Approximately one-fourth of patients with first-onset stroke had pre-onset frailty; the rate doubled in recurrent stroke; these rates appear to be much larger than rate in healthy individuals. Pre-onset frailty, a negative independent factor affecting functional disability at discharge, is important for pre-onset frailty evaluation and rehabilitation intervention in acute stroke patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Regular, sustained moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is a recommended strategy to reduce the risk of recurrent stroke for people who have had transient ischemic attack (TIA) or mild stroke. This study aimed to explore attitudes toward, and experience of engaging in physical activity by adults following a TIA or mild stroke. METHODS Constructivist grounded theory methodology informed data collection and analysis. Interviews from 33 adults with TIA or mild stroke (mean age 65 [SD 10] years, 48% female, 40% TIA) were collected. RESULTS Business as usual characterized physical activity engagement post-TIA or mild stroke. Most participants returned to prestroke habits, as either regular exerciser or nonexerciser, with only a small number making changes. Influencing factors for physical activity participation included information, challenges, strategies, and support. Business as usual was associated with a perceived lack of information to suggest a need to change behaviors. Nonexercisers and those who decreased physical activity emphasized challenges to physical activity, while regular exercisers and those who increased physical activity focused on strategies and support that enabled participation despite challenges. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Information about the necessity to engage in recommended physical activity levels requires tailoring to the needs of the people with TIA or mild stroke. Helpful information in combination with support and strategies may guide how to navigate factors preventing engagement and might influence the low level of physical activity prevalent in this population.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1 available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A376).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The identification of risk factors for recurrence in patients with minor ischemic stroke (MIS) is a critical medical need.
AIM To develop a nomogram for individualized prediction of in-hospital recurrence in MIS patients.
METHODS Based on retrospective collection, a single-center study was conducted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2014 to December 2019. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to determine the risk factors associated with MIS recurrence. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression was performed for preliminary identification of potential risk factors. Uric acid, systolic blood pressure, serum total bilirubin (STBL), and ferritin were integrated for nomogram construction. The predictive accuracy and calibration of the nomogram model were assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) and Hosmer-Lemeshow test, respectively.
RESULTS A total of 2216 MIS patients were screened. Among them, 155 were excluded for intravascular therapy, 146 for unknown National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, 195 for intracranial hemorrhage, and 247 for progressive stroke. Finally, 1244 patients were subjected to further analysis and divided into a training set (n = 796) and a validation set (n = 448). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that uric acid [odds ratio (OR): 0.997, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.993-0.999], ferritin (OR: 1.004, 95%CI: 1.002-1.006), and STBL (OR: 0.973, 95%CI: 0.956-0.990) were independently associated with in-hospital recurrence in MIS patients. Our model showed good discrimination; the AUC-ROC value was 0.725 (95%CI: 0.646-0.804) in the training set and 0.717 (95%CI: 0.580-0.785) in the validation set. Moreover, the calibration between nomogram prediction and the actual observation showed good consistency. Hosmer-Lemeshow test results confirmed that the nomogram was well-calibrated (P = 0.850).
CONCLUSION Our present findings suggest that the nomogram may provide individualized prediction of recurrence in MIS patients.

Participants' Perspective of Engaging in a Gym-Based Health Service Delivered Secondary Stroke Prevention Program after TIA or Mild Stroke. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:11448. [PMID: 34769964 PMCID: PMC8583419 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph182111448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/26/2021] [Revised: 10/21/2021] [Accepted: 10/28/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
People who have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or mild stroke have a high risk of recurrent stroke. Secondary prevention programs providing support for meeting physical activity recommendations may reduce this risk. Most evidence for the feasibility and effectiveness of secondary stroke prevention arises from programs developed and tested in research institute settings with limited evidence for the acceptability of programs in 'real world' community settings. This qualitative descriptive study explored perceptions of participation in a secondary stroke prevention program (delivered by a community-based multidisciplinary health service team within a community gym) by adults with TIA or mild stroke. Data gathered via phone-based semi-structured interviews midway through the program, and at the end of the program, were analyzed using constructivist grounded theory methods. A total of 51 interviews from 30 participants produced two concepts. The first concept, "What it offered me", describes critical elements that shape participants' experience of the program. The second concept, "What I got out of it" describes perceived benefits of program participation. Participants perceived that experiences with peers in a health professional-led group program, held within a community-based gym, supported their goal of changing behaviour. Including these elements during the development of health service strategies to reduce recurrent stroke risk may strengthen program acceptability and subsequent effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery bypass grafting is a surgical treatment for ischemic heart disease. Although development in surgical technique and improvement of perioperative management reduced the postoperative complications, some patients still delayed in progress of postoperative rehabilitation. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of daily intake of an herbal medicine-containing drink for rehabilitation after surgery in patients with ischemic heart disease.
AIM To investigate the effect of taking an herbal medicine-containing, commercially available drink for postoperative rehabilitation in those patients.
METHODS Patients who underwent isolated off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery were divided into two groups depend on the timing of the admission to the hospital: the Yunker (YKR) group, that consumed one bottle of a caffeine-free nutritional supplement drink on a daily basis and the control group (CTL) that underwent regular rehabilitation.
RESULTS A total of 229 patients (CTL = 130, YKR = 99) were enrolled. No significant differences were observed in the baseline characteristics between the two groups. The YKR group had a significantly increased number of daily steps postoperatively (P < 0.05) and had significantly lower postoperative serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels (P < 0.01), while no significant differences were observed in the levels of other inflammatory or stress-related cytokines (interleukin-6, adiponectin, superoxide dismutase, and urine 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine) between the two groups. Also, the YKR group showed a significant improvement in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (P < 0.05). Moreover, there were no differences in postoperative complications and the duration of postoperative hospital stay between the two groups.
CONCLUSION Our results demonstrated that the daily intake of an herbal medicine-containing drink after OPCAB surgery may have beneficial effects on cardiac rehabilitation by reducing inflammation markers and depression.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the causal relationship between physical exercise and ischemic stroke recurrence using a multiple imputation approach based on the potential outcomes framework. METHODS We collected data from 636 patients who were diagnosed with first-ever ischemic stroke between July, 2010 and December, 2018 at West China Hospital, Sichuan University.All the patients had motor ability and were followed up at least for 1 year.According to the intensity of physical exercise, the patients were divided into low-level physical exercise (LPE) group (n=244) and moderate-to high-intensity exercise (MHPE) group (n=392).With both the result and the time of recurrence as the potential outcomes, a multiple imputation method was used to impute the missing values based on a predictive matrix.Based on the imputed datasets, a causal inference model was built to estimate the average causal effect of physical exercise on the risk of stroke recurrence. RESULTS Among the enrolled patients, 148 experienced recurrent stroke with a median recurrence time of 24.0 months and a cumulative recurrence rate of 23.3%during follow-up.As there were no outliers and the marginal distributions of the potential outcomes were basically consistent, both the Strip plots and Kenel density plots indicated that the imputed values could have been plausible measurements if they had not been missing.The average causal effect (ACE) of physical exercise on stroke recurrence was 0.578 (95%CI: 0.186-0.970, P=0.012). CONCLUSION There is a causal relationship between physical exercise and the risk of ischemic stroke recurrence, indicating the value of moderate or high-level exercise after stroke in reducing the risk of stroke recurrence.

Predictors of Adherence to Lifestyle Recommendations in Stroke Secondary Prevention. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18094666.

Abstract
The risk of recurrent vascular events is high following ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA). Unmanaged modifiable risk factors present opportunities for enhanced secondary prevention. This cross-sectional study (n = 142 individuals post-ischaemic stroke/TIA; mean age 63 years, 70% male) describes adherence rates with risk-reducing behaviours and logistical regression models of behaviour adherence. Predictor variables used in the models com-prised age, sex, stroke/TIA status, aetiology (TOAST), modified Rankin Scale, cardiovascular fit-ness (VO2peak) measured as peak oxygen uptake during incremental exercise (L/min) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Score (HADS). Of the study participants, 84% abstained from smoking; 54% consumed ≥ 5 portions of fruit and vegetables/day; 31% engaged in 30 min moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) at least 3 times/week and 18% were adherent to all three behaviours. VO2peak was the only variable predictive of adherence to all three health behaviours (aOR 12.1; p = 0.01) and to MVPA participation (aOR 7.5; p = 0.01). Increased age (aOR 1.1; p = 0.03) and lower HADS scores (aOR 0.9; p = 0.02) were predictive of smoking abstinence. Men were less likely to consume fruit and vegetables (aOR 0.36; p = 0.04). Targeted secondary prevention interventions after stroke should address cardiovascular fitness training for MVPA and combined health behaviours; management of psychological distress in persistent smokers and consider environmental and social factors in dietary interventions, notably in men.

Abstract
PURPOSE Elucidating the complex interactions between physical activity (PA), a multidimensional concept, and physical capacity (PC) may reveal ways to improve rehabilitation interventions. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore which PA dimensions are related to PC in people after minor stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS Community dwelling individuals >6 months after minor stroke were evaluated with a 10-Meter-Walking-Test (10MWT), Timed-Up & Go, and the Mini Balance Evaluation System Test. The following PA outcomes were measured with an Activ8 accelerometer: counts per minute during walking (CPMwalking; a measure of intensity), number of active bouts (frequency), mean length of active bouts (distribution), and percentage of waking hours in upright positions (duration). Multivariable linear regression models, adjusted for age, sex and BMI, were used to assess the relationships between PC and PA outcomes. RESULTS Sixty-nine participants [62.2 ± 9.8 years, 61% male, 20 months post onset (IQR 13.0-53.5)] were included in the analysis. CPMwalking was significantly associated to PC in the 10MWT (std. ß = 0.409, p = 0.002), whereas other associations between PA and PC were not significant. CONCLUSIONS The PA dimension intensity of walking is significantly associated with PC, and appears to be an important tool for future interventions in rehabilitation after minor stroke.Implications for rehabilitationIt is recommended to express physical activity after minor stroke in multiple dimensions such as intensity, frequency, duration and distribution.In particular, intensity of physical activity measured with accelerometer counts is most closely related to physical capacity.The findings of this study underline the importance of being physically active beyond a certain intensity.In future development of interventions and guidelines that aim to promote daily physical activity, intensity should be taken into account.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is still the main cause of death and disability worldwide, numerous studies of recurrence risk have been reported, while systematic estimates of stroke recurrence risk in the last 10 years are variable. This review aims to estimate the cumulative stroke recurrence risk in the last 10 years for secondary prevention management in future. METHODS A systematic search from January 2009 to March 2019 was conducted through PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Wan-fang, and CNKI. Search terms were in English and Chinese. RESULTS A total of 37 studies involving 1,075,014 stroke patients were included. The pooled stroke recurrence rate was 7.7% at 3 months, 9.5% at 6 months, 10.4% at 1 year, 16.1% at 2 years, 16.7% at 3 years, 14.8% at 5 years, 12.9% at 10 years, and 39.7% at 12 years after the initial stroke. In addition, the pooled recurrence rate of 32 studies including stroke patients over 50 years only at seven time points except for subgroup of 10 years was 7.7%, 9.5%, 11.2%, 16.1%, 19.3%, 18.1%, and 39.7%, respectively. Meta-regression showed that the time points explained 23.02% of the variance among studies, while regions, age, and stroke types showed no significant contribution to heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS The risk of stroke recurrence varies greatly from 3 months to over 10 years and increases significantly over time in both young and old subgroup. The heterogeneity may be explained by follow-up time, regions, age, methodology differences, and stroke types, which was needed further exploration in future.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17155360. [PMID: 32722374 PMCID: PMC7432020 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17155360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2020] [Revised: 07/14/2020] [Accepted: 07/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
(1) Background: Patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were questioned about quality of life and sleep. Most BPH patients were treated with alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonists, which could improve cerebral blood flow for 1–2 months. Patients with ischemic stroke (IS) could experience cerebral autoregulation impairment for six months. The relationship between BPH and recurrent IS remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of one-year recurrent IS conferred by BPH. (2) Methods: We used data from the Taiwanese National Health Insurance Database to identify newly diagnosed IS cases entered from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2008. Patients were followed until the recurrent IS event or 365 days after the first hospitalization. The risk factors associated with one-year recurrent IS were assessed using Cox proportional hazards regression. (3) Results: Patients with BPH had a higher risk of recurrent IS (12.11% versus 8.15%) (adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.352; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.028–1.78, p = 0.031). Other risk factors included hyperlipidemia (adjusted HR: 1.338; 95% CI: 1.022–1.751, p = 0.034), coronary artery disease (adjusted HR: 1.487; 95% CI: 1.128–1.961, p = 0.005), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (adjusted HR: 1.499; 95% CI: 1.075–2.091, p = 0.017), and chronic kidney disease (adjusted HR: 1.523; 95% CI: 1.033–2.244, p = 0.033). (4) Conclusion: Patients with BPH who had these risk factors had an increased risk of one-year recurrent IS. The modification of risk factors may prevent recurrent IS.
