Comparison of stroke process measures and clinical outcomes between English and Non-English preferring patients.

Background: In the United States, limited English proficiency may reduce the quality of care and worsen outcomes after stroke. The aim was to compare stroke process measures and clinical outcomes between English preferring and non-English preferring stroke patients.

Methods/materials: This single-center retrospective cohort study evaluated patients from one United States hospital with acute ischemic stroke between July 2013 and June 2022.

Intracerebral hemorrhage with intraventricular extension and no hydrocephalus may not increase mortality or severe disability.

This paper aimed to test the hypothesis that intraventricular extension of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the absence of hydrocephalus is not associated with increased mortality or severe disability. We performed a retrospective consecutive cohort study of patients with primary spontaneous ICH who were admitted to a single institution. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association of each variable with functional outcome as measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).
