Abstract
AIMS To examine the effect of deprescribing psychotropic medications on activities of daily living (ADLs) and swallowing function in patients undergoing convalescent rehabilitation following a stroke. METHODS In this retrospective cohort study, patients who underwent convalescent rehabilitation after a stroke were divided into two groups: deprescribing (number of psychotropic medications decreased during hospitalization) and non-deprescribing (number of psychotropic medications increased or remained unchanged). The primary outcome measure was ADLs assessed using the Functional Independence-Measured Motor Activity (FIM-motor) score at discharge. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to determine the independent association between deprescribing psychotropic medications and rehabilitation outcomes. RESULTS Of the 586 patients enrolled, 128 with a mean age of 74.1 ± 12.7 years were included in the final analysis after being prescribed psychotropic medications, with 36 of them (28.1%) in the deprescribing group. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that deprescribing psychotropic medications was independently associated with FIM-motor function at discharge. CONCLUSIONS Deprescribing psychotropic medications is positively associated with improvements in ADLs among patients undergoing convalescent rehabilitation after a stroke.

Abstract
PURPOSE The phase angle (PhA) is a simple index that reflects nutritional status and muscle quality. This study aimed to investigate the association between PhA changes and activities of daily living (ADL), muscle strength, and muscle mass in patients with acute stroke. METHODS This retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study included patients hospitalized for acute stroke. The primary outcome was functional independence measure (FIM) of motor gain. The secondary outcomes were changes in handgrip strength and skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) during hospitalization. Multivariate analysis was used to examine whether PhA changes were associated with outcomes, after adjusting for potential confounders. RESULTS Hundred and sixty one subjects (mean age 74.6 years, 92 men) were included in the study. Multivariate analysis showed that PhA change was significantly and positively correlated with the gain in FIM motor scores, both for men (β = 0.634, p < 0.001) and women (β = 0.660, p < 0.001). Furthermore, there were significant associations between PhA change and changes in handgrip strength for men (β = 0.222, p = 0.030) and women (β = 0.491, p < 0.001), as well as SMI for men (β = 0.556, p < 0.001) and women (β = 0.290, p = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS An increased phase angle was positively associated with ADL, muscle strength, and muscle mass at discharge in patients with acute stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The usefulness of malnutrition diagnosed using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria as a predictor of recovery of activities of daily living is unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether baseline malnutrition diagnosed using the GLIM criteria was predictive of recovery of activities of daily living in older patients with post-acute stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective cohort study was conducted in patients aged ≥70 years with post-acute stroke. The outcome was activities of daily living measured using the motor domain of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM-motor) score at discharge. Participants were classified as malnourished or non-malnourished according to the GLIM criteria. Multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to determine whether baseline malnutrition diagnosed using the GLIM criteria was predictive of the FIM-motor score at discharge. The analysis was adjusted for clinically relevant covariates associated with rehabilitation outcomes after stroke. RESULTS A total of 236 patients (mean age, 80.0 years; female, 54.2%) were included in the analysis. On admission, 83 (35.2%) patients were diagnosed with malnutrition. Multivariate linear regression analyses showed that malnutrition diagnosed using the GLIM criteria was predictive of the FIM-motor score at discharge (β = -0.347, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Identifying malnutrition using the GLIM criteria is useful for predicting recovery of activities of daily living in older patients with post-acute stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hospital-associated sarcopenia is prevalent and associated with poor outcomes in acutely admitted patients. Prevention of developing sarcopenia during hospitalization is an important factor in stroke management. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether energy intake and rehabilitation duration contribute to the prevention of hospital-associated sarcopenia in patients with acute stroke. METHODS Patients with acute stroke were included in this study. Energy intake during the first week of hospitalization was classified as "high" or "low" based on the reported cutoff value. Rehabilitation time during hospitalization was classified as "intense" or "mild" based on the median. The four groups were compared based on the combinations of high or low energy intake and intense or mild rehabilitation. The primary outcome was the development of sarcopenia during hospitalization. The secondary outcome was the Functional Independence Measure motor item gain during hospitalization. Multivariate analysis was performed with the primary or secondary outcome as the dependent variable and the effect of each group on the outcome was examined. RESULTS A total of 112 participants (mean age = 70.6 y; 63 men) were included in the study. Multivariate analysis found that high × intense (odds ratio = 0.113; P = 0.041) was independently associated with the development of sarcopenia during hospitalization (i.e., hospital-related sarcopenia). High × intense (β = 0.395; P < 0.001) was independently associated with the gain of Functional Independence Measure motor items. CONCLUSIONS In patients with acute stroke, the combination of high energy intake and adequate rehabilitation time is associated with prevention of hospital-associated sarcopenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition affects more than half of patients with stroke. Although malnutrition leads to more deaths, a longer hospital stay, and higher costs, there is still a lack of consensus regarding the impact of malnutrition on physical functional outcomes in patients with stroke, and there are large differences in the diagnostic effects of nutritional screening or assessment tools for malnutrition. This study aimed to explore the impact of malnutrition in patients with stroke and assess the significance of current nutritional screening and assessment tools for these patients. METHODS Six databases were systematically searched until October 2022. Cohort studies meeting the eligibility criteria were included. Pooled effects were calculated using random-effects models. RESULTS Twenty-six studies with 21,115 participants were included. The pooled effects of malnutrition on poor functional outcome, FIM points, and dysphagia were OR = 2.72 (95% CI = 1.84-4.06), WMD = -19.42(95% CI = -32.87--5.96), and OR = 2.80 (95% CI = 1.67-4.67), respectively. CONCLUSION Malnutrition adversely affects the recovery of physical and swallowing functions in patients with stroke. Nutritional assessments consistently predict the outcomes of physical function in patients with stroke.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the most common causes of disability in adults. Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive systemic muscle loss and functional decline. The decrease in skeletal muscle mass and muscle function throughout the body after stroke cannot be explained by neurological motor disorders due to brain injury alone, it is considered to be a secondary sarcopenia known as stroke-related sarcopenia. Mounting evidences showed that stroke-related sarcopenia might promote the occurrence and development of sarcopenia through various pathogenesis such as muscle atrophy, dysphagia, inflammation, and malnutrition, etc. At present, the main indicators used to assess malnutrition in patients with stroke-related sarcopenia include temporalis muscle thickness, calf circumference, phase angle, geriatric nutritional risk index and mini-nutritional assessment short-form, etc. Currently, there is no particularly effective method to curb its progression, but supplementation with essential amino acids, whey protein combined with vitamin D, high energy diet, avoiding Polypharmacy, as well as increasing physical activity level and reducing sedentary lifestyle may improve the malnutrition status of stroke patients, and increase the muscle mass and skeletal muscle index, further delay or even prevent the development of stroke-related sarcopenia. This article reviews the latest research progress on the characteristics, epidemiology, pathogenesis and the role of nutrition in stroke-related sarcopenia, so as to provide reference for the clinical treatment and rehabilitation of stroke-related sarcopenia.
