Background And Objectives: Poststroke pain (PSP) is a prevalent and severe consequence of stroke, encompassing central, neuropathic, and nonneuropathic pain. In this study, we aimed to investigate clinical factors associated with PSP three months after stroke and concurrently explore the association between PSP and one-year mortality.
Methods: This registry-based study comprised data from stroke patients admitted to three hospitals in Sweden between November 2014 and June 2019.

Stroke is one of the most devastating pathologies in terms of mortality, cause of dementia, major adult disability, and socioeconomic burden worldwide. Despite its severity, treatment options remain limited, with no pharmacological therapies available for hemorrhagic stroke (HS) and only fibrinolytic therapy or mechanical thrombectomy for ischemic stroke (IS). In the pathophysiology of stroke, after the acute phase, many patients develop systemic immunosuppression, which, combined with neurological dysfunction and hospital management, leads to the onset of stroke-associated infections (SAIs).

Background: Sleep disturbance is a common concern among stroke survivors, yet the association of sleep duration and sleep disorders with post-stroke depression and all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality remains elusive. We aimed to explore these associations using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).
Methods: Adult stroke survivors from NHANES 2005-2018 were included.

Introduction: Dysphagia is a common post-stroke neurological disorder. Early screening for dysphagia can identify patients at risk of aspiration, thereby reducing the occurrence of pulmonary complications, morbidity, and mortality in this population.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the impact of an intervention in a stroke unit, following a retrospective study carried out in the same unit in 2020, which investigated the association between dysphagia and acute cerebrovascular disease and analyzed the prevalence of readmissions due to respiratory tract infections (RTI) and mortality.

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of mortality and disability and has become a significant public health concern among women. Overall, women have more ischemic stroke events than men, in part due to their longer life span, and also suffer from more severe stroke-related disabilities compared to men. Women are also more likely than men to present with atypical non-focal neurological symptoms, potentially leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.
