Geo-Spatial Analysis of Acute Ischemic Stroke Reperfusion Treatment in India: An Assessment of Distribution and Access to Centers.

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of global mortality and disability, with a disproportionately high burden in low- and middle-income countries. Access to intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular treatment (EVT) remains extremely limited.

Aims: We evaluated the spatial distribution and geographic accessibility of stroke centers in India.

Outcomes of Symptomatic Intracranial Large Artery Stenoses: a Prospective Cohort Study from The Asian Registry of Intracranial Atherosclerosis (ARICAS).

Introduction: Intracranial large artery atherosclerosis (ICAS) is a common cause of stroke in Asia. Prior epidemiological publications on ICAS have largely been single-country reports. This collaborative study involving several Asian countries aims to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of patients with stroke attributable to ICAS.

Implementation of a goal-directed Care Bundle for intracerebral hemorrhage: Results of embedded process evaluation in the INTERACT3 trial.

The third, stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized, Intensive Care Bundle with Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT3), has shown that a goal-directed multi-faceted Care Bundle incorporating protocols for the management of physiological variables was safe and effective for improving functional recovery in a broad range of patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The INTERACT3 Care Bundle included time- and target-based protocols for the management of early intensive lowering of systolic blood pressure (SBP, target <140mmHg), glucose control (target 6.1-7.

World Stroke Organization and World Hypertension League Position Statement on Hypertension Control Strategies in Prevention and Management of Stroke.

Background And Purpose:-: The goal of this consensus is to provide a comprehensive set of recommendations regarding hypertension control strategies for the prevention and management of stroke. This document is intended for prehospital care providers, physicians, allied health professionals, and hospital administrators and health care policy makers.

Methods:-: Members of the writing group were representatives of the World Stroke Organization and World Hypertension League.

World Stroke Organization: Global Stroke Fact Sheet 2025.

Background: Among non-communicable disorders (NCDs), stroke remains the second leading cause of death and the third leading cause of death and disability combined (as expressed by disability-adjusted life-years lost-DALYs) in the world.

Aims: The study was aimed to estimate global, regional and nationa burden of stroke and its risk factors from 1990 to 2021.

Methods: Finding presented in this paper were derived mainly from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 Study on stroke burden published in The Lancet Neurology 2024:23:973-1003.
