Background: Little is known regarding the comorbidities and prognostic factors associated with the long-term outcome of ischemic stroke in dogs. Although poststroke epilepsy is a well-recognized syndrome in people, it is unclear if this phenomenon also occurs in dogs.
Hypothesis/objective: Document comorbidities, long-term outcome (survival and stroke recurrence), and occurrence of epileptic seizures associated with ischemic stroke.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the feasibility of an exercise intervention for young people aged 13-17 with mild to moderate depression, comparing high-intensity exercise, low-intensity exercise, and social activities.
- Participants were recruited through mental health services and schools, with the intervention delivered over 12 weeks by trained professionals.
- Results showed a 71.4% retention rate and over 67% attendance, although only 14 participants were randomized from the initial referrals, indicating challenges in recruitment.
Objectives: Although primary care is central to healthcare provision, inconsistent methods and data sources mean that relatively little is known about long-term trends in general practice consultation rates. We aimed to explore long-term trends in English general practice consultation rates using two electronic health records databases, Clinical Practice Research Datalink Gold and Aurum, from 1995 to 2021.
Methods: Consultations were identified and classified using a set of rules and code lists.
Risk prediction tools are widely used in healthcare to identify individuals at high risk of adverse events who may benefit from proactive interventions. Traditionally, these tools are evaluated primarily on statistical performance measures-such as sensitivity, specificity, discrimination, and positive predictive value (PPV)-with minimal attention given to their cost-effectiveness. As a result, while many published tools report high performance statistics, evidence is limited on their real-world efficacy and potential for cost savings.
