Background: Thirst is a clinical discomfort symptom reported by most patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU). Little is known about the dynamic change and risk factors of intense thirst in neuro-intensive care unit (Neuro-ICU).
Aim: The objective of this study was to explore the dynamic change and determine the risk factors of intense thirst in patients admitted to Neuro-ICU, providing reference for personalized interventions of intense thirst.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to understand how frailty before a stroke affects patients' discharge destinations, length of hospital stay, and overall outcomes after the stroke.
- Conducted at a teaching hospital in Guangzhou, China, the research involved 271 older stroke patients and used a five-item FRAIL scale for assessment.
- Results showed that frail patients were significantly more likely to be discharged to places other than home, have longer hospital stays, and experience worse recovery, suggesting the FRAIL scale is useful for healthcare teams during discharge planning.
Background: Stroke patients with dysphagia and family caregivers will experience multiple transitions during the whole process of the disease and various nursing needs will be generated. There is a lack of knowledge about their experiences at different transition stages. Thus, we aimed to explore the transition experiences of patients with post stroke dysphagia and family caregivers from admission to discharge home.

Methods: We searched evidence in BMJ Best Practice, Up To Date, Cochrane Library, PubMed and so on from their inception to May 31, 2021. The quality assessment was conducted by two researchers by using AGREE II for guidelines, JBI evidence-based health care center evaluate standards for systematic review and expert consensus.
Introduction And Aims: As a critical form of stroke damage, aphasia negatively impacts stroke patients' return to society. Speech and language intervention has been found to assist in optimizing poststroke aphasia patient outcomes; consequently, early identification and diagnosis are vital for poststroke aphasia to ensure that patients receive the rehabilitation they require. This project aimed to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in the assessment and screening of stroke patients with aphasia and to improve the clinical outcomes of patients who suffer from poststroke aphasia in a large tertiary hospital.

Introduction: The prevalence of DVT within 14 days after stroke is 10-75%. Approximately 20% of patients with DVT develop pulmonary embolism, the third most common cause of death in patients with stroke and the most common cause of autopsy-verified death between the second and fourth week after stroke.
