Abstract
PURPOSE An increasing number of individuals with stroke are having difficulties in returning to work, having a significant impact on both individuals and society. The aims of this meta-analysis were to summarize the interventions to support the return to work (RTW) for individuals with stroke and to quantitatively evaluate the efficacy of each type of intervention. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched until 26 June 2023, and the list of references of the initially included articles was also searched. Two researchers independently performed the search, screening, selection, and data extraction. The primary outcome was RTW rate (the RTW rate was defined as the proportion of individuals who returned to work in each group (intervention and control) at the endpoint). Pooled risk ratio (RR) was estimated using a random-effects model with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS A total of 13 studies representing 4,282 individuals with stroke were included in our study. Results showed that physiological interventions could improve the RTW rate of individuals with stroke (RR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.42, I2 = 72%). And receiving intravenous thrombolytic therapy was beneficial in promoting the RTW in individuals with stroke. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression analysis showed that the individuals' functional status during hospitalization was the only source of heterogeneity. Psychological interventions had little or no effect on the RTW rate of individuals with stroke (RR: 1.20, 95% CI: 0.58 to 2.51, I2 = 30%). Work-related interventions had little or no effect on the RTW rate of the individuals with stroke (RR:1.36,95%CI: 0.99 to 1.88, I2 = 73%). The subgroup analysis showed that country, age, and follow-up method were the sources of heterogeneity. CONCLUSION Physiological intervention promoted the RTW of individuals with stroke. But, the effect of psychological and work-related interventions in promoting the RTW of individuals with stroke was not significant. We anticipate that these findings may inform the design of future interventions. For future research, we recommend that more high-quality randomized controlled trials be conducted to further promote the RTW of individuals with stroke.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The association of age at stroke onset with dementia and the role of post-stroke lifestyle on dementia risk remains unclear. METHODS We leveraged data of 496,251 dementia-free participants from UK Biobank and explored the relationship between age at stroke onset and incident dementia. Among 8328 participants with stroke history, we further investigated the association of a healthy lifestyle with risk of dementia. RESULTS Participants with stroke history had a higher risk of dementia (hazard ratio [HR], 2.02). The association was stronger among participants with stroke onset at a younger age (≤50: HR, 2.63) compared with those at the age > 50 years (50-60: HR, 2.17; ≥60: HR, 1.58). Among participants with stroke history, a favorable lifestyle was associated with a lower risk of incident dementia. DISCUSSION Stroke onset in earlier life stage predicted a higher risk for dementia, but a favorable post-stroke lifestyle may protect against dementia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to determine whether a history of falls before admission affected physical activity levels and sedentary behavior negatively after implementing a behavior modification approach in patients with minor ischemic stroke. METHODS This study constituted a secondary analysis of an intervention trial. In the intervention study, patients with minor ischemic stroke were randomly assigned to two groups: intervention and control groups. The intervention group was encouraged to reduce sedentary behavior during hospitalization and after discharge, while the control group was encouraged to increase physical activity levels solely during hospitalization. The study included 52 patients who completed the intervention trial. The exposure factor examined was a history of falls. Upon admission, patients were queried about any falls experienced in the year preceding admission and subsequently classified into fall and non-fall groups based on their responses. The primary outcome of interest focused on changes in physical activity levels (step count, light-intensity physical activity, and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity) and sedentary behavior. Measurements were obtained at two time points: before the intervention, during hospitalization (baseline), and 3 months after discharge (post-intervention). RESULTS Only a significantly lower change in the number of steps taken in the fall group than in the non-fall group was found. CONCLUSION Those with a history of falls showed a lesser change in the number of steps taken before and after implementing a behavior change approach compared with those without a history of falls. Those with a history of falls may have engaged in activities other than walking.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the effects on sedentary behaviour of an approach that promotes reduction in sedentary behaviour in patients with minor ischaemic stroke after intervention and at follow-up. DESIGN A randomised controlled trial. SETTING During hospitalisation and after hospital discharge. SUBJECTS In total, 86 patients with minor ischaemic stroke admitted to an acute care hospital were assigned to the intervention (n = 43) and control (n = 43) groups. INTERVENTION An intervention group that received an approach to reduce sedentary behaviour upon hospital admission until 3 months after discharge (education, self-monitoring, phone calls, etc.) and a control group that received the usual care during hospitalisation. From 3 to 6 months after discharge, no group received any intervention. MAIN OUTCOME The primary outcome was the change (%) in sedentary behaviour from baseline to post-intervention (3 months after discharge) and follow-up (6 months after discharge). Sedentary behaviour was measured at baseline (upon hospital admission), post-intervention, and at follow-up using accelerometers. RESULTS At the post-intervention stage, the intervention group showed a significantly greater change in sedentary behaviour from baseline than that shown by the control group (sedentary behaviour: intervention group, -22.7%; control group, -14.9%; P = 0.013; effect size = 0.58). At follow-up too, the intervention group showed a significantly greater change in sedentary behaviour from baseline than that shown by the control group (sedentary behaviour: intervention group, -20.4%; control group, -13.6%; P = 0.025; effect size = 0.54). CONCLUSIONS An approach to reduce sedentary behaviour in patients with minor ischaemic stroke effectively reduces sedentary behaviour, which is sustained up to follow-up.

Abstract
The present study examined the psychometric properties of the 12-item Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQOL-12) in 184 stroke survivors in Hong Kong. The participants completed a self-report questionnaire including the SSQOL-12, SF-12 health survey, and validating variables at baseline and 148 stroke survivors completed SSQOL-12 two months later. Confirmatory factor analysis investigated the construct validity, reliability, and measurement invariance of SSQOL-12 across two months. Concurrent, convergent, and divergent validity was examined with respect to SF-12, hope, self-esteem, functional disability, anxiety, and depression. The original 2-factor model did not reveal a superior fit over the 1-factor model and a modified 1-factor model provided an acceptable fit to the data in both waves. The SSQOL-12 factor displayed substantial factor loadings (λ = 0.40-0.87), good internal consistency (Ω = 0.88), temporal stability (r = 0.70), and scalar measurement invariance across time. Stroke-specific quality of life was significantly associated with higher levels of SF-12, hope, and self-esteem and lower levels of functional disability, anxiety, and depression. Most correlations remained significant after controlling for demographic covariates and SF-12. The present findings offered empirical support for the validity and reliability of the unidimensional structure for SSQOL-12 as a measure of stroke-specific quality of life among stroke survivors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cerebral insults lead in many cases not only to cognitive impairment but also to disturbed emotionality. After stroke, one in three survivors develops a depression which impacts quality of life and rehabilitation. Meta-analyses have identified five main predictors of post-stroke depression (PSD): history of mental disorder, stroke severity, physical disability, cognitive impairment, and social support. However, these five established variables have never been conjointly investigated in a sample of stroke survivors. Therefore, their independent predictive values remain unclear. Moreover, predictors are most often used as time-invariant factors (status scores), neglecting the intraindividual dynamics after stroke. METHODS Our study analyses the data of two prospective longitudinal studies, investigating stroke survivors from two rehabilitation hospitals (N 1 = 273) and one acute care hospital (N 2 = 226). Baseline assessments included the five established predictors and depressive symptoms. After 6 months, depressive symptoms were reassessed in both studies (n 1 = 176, n 2 = 183), and physical disability and social support were reassessed in study 2. The predictivity of the five predictors and the additional predictivity of intraindividual dynamics for PSD were examined in multiple linear regression analyses. RESULTS History of mental disorder was a risk factor for depressive symptoms after stroke at all measurement times (B = 3.32 to 3.97; p < 0.01). Physical disability was a risk factor at all measurement times (B = -0.09 to -0.03; p < 0.05) except 6 months after rehabilitation. Social support was a protective factor (B = -2.69 to -1.91; p < 0.01) outside the acute phase (R 2 = 0.15-0.39). Intraindividual changes in physical disability and perceived social support were independent predictors of PSD 6 months after the acute phase (B = -0.08/-0.14; p < 0.01), in addition to status scores on established variables (ΔR 2 = 0.08, p < 0.001). DISCUSSION History of mental disorder, physical disability, and social support are independent predictors of depressive symptoms in the first year post-stroke, also when considered conjointly. Future studies should control for these variables when investigating new predictors of PSD. In addition, intraindividual changes in known predictors after stroke play a relevant role in the pathogenesis of PSD and should be considered in clinical practice and future research.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The incidence of stroke in working-age adults is increasing. Many patients face cognitive, emotional and physical impairments and their subsequent influences on returning to work. An increasing number of studies have been conducted on the transformation from unemployment to returning to work. The criteria for returning to work only used the 'working yes/no' as the primary outcome. Although some researchers have investigated the characteristics of patients with stroke who have returned to work, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the work situation. This scoping review aimed to examine and map the work situation of patients with stroke who have returned to work. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study will be based on the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers' Manual for scoping reviews. A systematic literature search will be conducted using related medical subject headings and keywords on the work situation of patients with stroke who have returned to work. Relevant publications will be searched using 17 data sources, including grey literature sources, published in English or Chinese between 1957 and 2022. None of the articles will have restrictions on the data sources or study designs. The study selection and search results will be reported and presented according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews flow diagram. The results will be presented in a table format based on the data extraction tool. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study is exempted from a medical ethical review. This scoping review addresses the knowledge gap by identifying and synthesising the work situation of patients with stroke who have returned to work, which will provide helpful information for various stakeholders. This scoping review will be submitted and published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Post-stroke depression is associated with stroke recurrence and it is necessary to identify its influencing factors. The study aims to determine whether physical activity during hospitalization, as measured by accelerometer, was associated with depression after discharge in patients with minor ischemic stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective observational study assessed 76 patients with minor ischemic stroke (aged 71.2 years) admitted to an acute care hospital. Depressive symptoms 3 months after discharge from the hospital was assessed using a questionnaire sent by mail. Baseline was set during hospitalization, and accelerometers were used to measure sedentary behavior, light and moderate-to-vigorous physical activities during hospitalization. RESULTS Three months after hospital discharge, 14 patients (18.4%) were placed in the depressive symptom group, with significantly more sedentary behavior (p = 0.021), less light physical activity (p = 0.016) and more depressive symptoms during hospitalization (p = 0.005) than in the non-depressive symptom group. Logistic regression analysis showed that sedentary behavior (odds ratio = 1.130, 95% confidence interval = 1.013‒1.281, p = 0.028) and light-intensity physical activity (odds ratio = 0.853, 95% confidence interval = 0.746‒0.976, p = 0.021) were independent factors for depressive symptoms at three months after discharge. Moderate to vigorous physical activity was not an independent factor. CONCLUSIONS Sedentary behavior and light-intensity physical activity during hospitalization were associated with depressive symptoms in patients with minor ischemic stroke after discharge. Reducing sedentary behavior and increasing light-intensity physical activity as part of inpatient rehabilitation may help prevent post-stroke depression.
