AI Article Synopsis

  • - The Stroke Inpatient Depression Inventory (SIDI) was created and tested on 50 stroke patients in rehab to better measure depression than existing tools like the CES-D.
  • - SIDI showed stronger validity with higher correlation scores to psychiatrist evaluations and other depression assessment tools, indicating its effectiveness.
  • - The SIDI outperformed the CES-D in accurately diagnosing depression, correctly identifying 86% of patients compared to 76% for the CES-D.

Article Abstract

The Stroke Inpatient Depression Inventory (SIDI) was developed and tested on 50 stroke inpatients on a rehabilitation unit. The format and content of the SIDI questions were intended to improve on the limited validity of the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D) and other measures of depression with stroke inpatients. The validity of the SIDI was supported by higher correlations with a psychiatrist's rating of depression level (r = 0.70), SADS-C score (r = 0.68), and Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression score (r = 0.78) compared with the CES-D. Also, the SIDI was more accurate than the CES-D in correct classification of patients with regard to diagnosis of depression (86% vs. 76% correct).

Background: As percutaneous therapeutic options expand, the optimal management of severe aortic stenosis (AS) and concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) is being questioned between coronary artery bypass grafting and surgical aortic valve replacement (CABG+SAVR) versus percutaneous coronary intervention and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (PCI+TAVR). We sought to compare perioperative and longitudinal risk-adjusted outcomes between patients undergoing CABG+SAVR versus PCI+TAVR.

Methods: Using the United States Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services inpatient claims database, we evaluated all patient age 65 and older with AS and CAD undergoing CABG+SAVR or PCI+TAVR (2018-2022).

Therapy dogs have been increasingly incorporated into a variety of medical treatment programs to improve patients' treatment outcomes and wellbeing. However, research investigating the stress level of therapy dogs in this setting is limited. This is the first randomized-controlled and prospective study that investigated the wellbeing of therapy dogs in an inpatient stroke rehabilitation program.

Department of Neurosurgery, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at University at Buffalo, Buffalo, New York, USA; Department of Neurosurgery, Buffalo General Medical Center, Kaleida Health, Buffalo, New York, USA. Electronic address:

Objective: Alcohol use disorder carries major effects shown to limit social support, increase recovery times, and lead to a higher incidence of surgical complications. This retrospective cohort study investigated the influence of AUD on perioperative outcomes and adverse events after spinal fusions in the largest sample size to date and spanning 11 years.

Methods: Data for adult (>18 years old) patients who underwent a spinal fusion as their primary surgery were identified from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database for the years 2009-2020.

Rehabilitation success and related costs following stroke in a regional hospital: a retrospective analysis based on the Australian National Subacute and Non-Acute Patient (AN-SNAP) classification.

BMC Health Serv Res

January 2025

John Richards Centre for Rural Ageing Research, La Trobe Rural Health School, College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Edwards Road, Flora Hill, VIC 3550, Victoria, Australia.

Background: Evidence is limited on the factors influencing successful stroke rehabilitation in regional contexts. Additionally, the relationship between rehabilitation costs following acute stroke, based on Australian National Subacute and Non-Acute Patient (AN-SNAP) casemix classification, and rehabilitation success remains unclear.

Objective: This retrospective cohort study investigated the factors contributing to improved functional outcomes following stroke rehabilitation in an Australian regional hospital, also evaluating the respective average daily and total payments.
