SSNAP/KCL #strokeaudit findings in JAHA: Despite better 1‐year survival, women were less likely to receive timely stroke care and had worse functional outcomes, highlighting the need for more equitable, sex‐sensitive care strategies. doi.org/10.1161/JAHA...

KCL study on trends in haem. stroke subtypes in JAHA: >50% reduced incidence of ICH & SAH, across various demographic groups 1995-2018. Cautiously suggests that prevention, or at very least, delay in onset of some strokes may be achievable through improved RF management. doi.org/10.1161/JAHA...

KCL study on long-term depression post-stroke in JAHA: “...once #stroke patients develop depression, ongoing monitoring & close follow‐up should be implemented as they are at very high risk of poor prognosis (recurrent depression or persistent depression)” doi.org/10.1161/JAHA...
