Objective: To examine the relationship between stroke care infrastructure and stroke quality-of-care outcomes at 29 spoke hospitals participating in the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) hub-and-spoke telestroke network.
Materials And Methods: Encounter-level data from MUSC's telestroke patient registry were filtered to include encounters during 2015-2022 for patients aged 18 and above with a clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke, and who received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator. Unadjusted and adjusted generalized estimating equations assessed associations between time-related stroke quality-of-care metrics captured during the encounter and the existence of the two components of stroke care infrastructure-stroke coordinators and stroke center certifications-across all hospitals and within hospital subgroups defined by size and rurality.
Objectives: Social isolation and stigma contribute to poor mental health outcomes. Adolescent mothers in Zimbabwe often experience isolation and stigma, lacking social support and resources to navigate motherhood. The study tested the effectiveness of a community-based peer support intervention to mitigate social isolation and stigma of adolescent motherhood in Harare, Zimbabwe.

- Telehealth use for hypertension and cardiovascular disease management has surged in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to enhance access to care and improve health outcomes.
- A review of 38 U.S.-based interventions showed that many employ team-based approaches and remote patient monitoring (RPM) to manage conditions like hypertension, heart failure, and stroke, with significant improvements in blood pressure control.
- The study highlights ongoing gaps in understanding the health equity implications of telehealth strategies and their broader effects on diverse patient populations.
