Background Posterior cerebral circulation ischemic stroke (PCS) comprises up to 25% of all strokes. It is characterized by variable presentation, leading misdiagnosis and morbidity mortality. We aim describe PCS in large multiethnic cohorts. Methods A retrospective review a national database from its inception on the 1st January 2014 till 31 December 2020. Incidence per 100,000 adult population/year, demographics, clinical features, location, outcomes were retrieved. divided cohort into...
There are limited data from the Middle East on sex-related differences in short- and long-term stroke outcomes. We present 8 years of experience based Qatar database.The database prospectively collects all patients admitted to Hamad General Hospital. For this study, we compared female male acute ischemic their characteristics at admission, short-term outcomes [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score], [incidence major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs)].A total 7,300 [F: 1,406 (19.3%), M: 5,894...
Background The association of cardiac wall motion abnormalities (CWMAs) in patients with stroke who have major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) remains unclear. purpose this study was to estimate the 50‐month risk MACE, including recurrence, acute coronary events, and vascular death CWMAs. Methods Results We performed a retrospective analysis prospectively collected data (acute transient ischemic attack) over 50 months by electronic medical records. Data included demographic clinical...
Abstract The prevalence and incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) are increasing worldwide. We aim to assess mortality socio-economic outcomes among patients hospitalized for stroke in the US evaluate their recent trends. examined: in-hospital mortality, length stay (LoS), overall hospital charges diabetic over 18 years old who were with a from 2005 2014, included National Inpatient Sample. In those patients, mean (SD) age slightly decreased 70 (13) 69 (p-trend < 0.001). Interestingly,...
The long-term acute stroke outcome has not been well studied in the Middle-Eastern population. primary objective of our study is to compare ischaemic (IS) with/without previous cerebrovascular/cardiovascular disease (CVD) mimics (SM) with CVD. Qatar database was reviewed for IS and SM admissions Qatari Nationals between 2013 2019. Patients were prospectively assessed development recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction or death. Frequency major cardiovascular events (MACEs) compared patients...
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a dramatic unexplained decline hospital admissions due to acute coronary syndromes and stroke. Several theories have emerged aiming explain this decline, mostly revolving around the fear of contracting disease thus avoiding visits.In study, we aim examine impact on stroke tertiary care centre Qatar.The Hamad General Hospital database was interrogated for between September 2019 May 2020. number admissions, subtypes short-term outcomes compared...
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-radiographic formally recognized in 1996, which describes specific changes noted on neuroimaging thought to be related impaired cerebral blood flow autoregulation and endothelial dysfunction. We report case of PRES the setting increased ingestion ondansetron; complicated by hemorrhagic transformation refractory intracranial hypertension. hypothesize an association 5-HT3 antagonism PRES.This study report; with review previously...
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of reperfusion therapies on occurrence early post-stroke seizures (PSS) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Background: Reperfusion are paramount treatment phase. However, their incidence after an AIS remains unclear. Design and Methods: The database at Hamad Medical Corporation was used identify all who received for from 2016 2019. They were matched similar diagnosis, gender, age, severity as measured by National Institutes...
Objective: We describe border-zone territory infarctions without evident hypotension or vascular stenoses in a case of hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES).We review the spectrum neurological changes associated with HES and explore about its relationship observed infarction pattern.Methods: This is report.A PubMed literature search was conducted searching clinico-radiographic findings complications HES.Results: A previously healthy 47 year old man presented progressive encephalopathy, weight...
Most affected humans with west-nile virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne of the flaviviridae family, remain asymptomatic, while minority may develop neurological manifestation such as meningitis, encephalitis or flaccid paralysis. Gastrointestinal symptoms anorexia and abdominal pain are less common, whereas full blown symptomatic acute pancreatitis has only been described twice in literature. These cases occurred Netherlands Israel where WNV is fairly endemic. We report first clinical case North...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Virtual Reality (VR) is an emerging technology in post stroke recovery. However, its precise role rehabilitation not well defined. The aim of this paper to conduct overview systematic reviews on the VR rehabilitation. Methods A meta-review with results from a search 7 databases inception till 5th December 2022 subsequent quality appraisal was conducted. primary outcome produce narrative review efficacy versus usual or other care Data synthesized descriptive...
This study investigated the association between Coronavirus Disease 2019 mRNA vaccination and stroke in Qatar.
Abstract Introduction Refractory large vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke carries high morbidity and mortality. Rescue stenting is an emerging modality that increasingly utilized especially East Asia. We aim to investigate the safety efficacy of performing rescue patients who had failed mechanical thrombectomy. Methods This a retrospective, all-inclusive, observational, descriptive review prospectively collected database. Post stenting, aggressive antiplatelet protocol was followed...
Abstract Background and purpose Guidelines recommend patients with high-risk TIAs minor stroke presenting within 1-3 days from onset be offered dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). There is little data on real-world adherence to these recommendations. We evaluated the appropriateness of DAPT use in TIA a prospective Database. Methods The Qatar Stroke Database began enrollment acute 2014 currently has ∼ 16,000 patients. For this study we rates guideline-adherent treatment at time discharge...
<h3>Objective:</h3> To compare the 90-day outcome in patients with minor stroke (MIS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) who were discharged on single versus dual anti-platelet therapy after index event multiethnic Middle Eastern community. <h3>Background:</h3> Recent studies have shown that antiplatelet (DAPT) clopidogrel and aspirin is effective for secondary prevention (TIA). However, there paucity of data from middle east regarding role such intervention these <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> We...
<h3>Objective:</h3> There is limited data on sex-related short-term and long-term stroke outcomes from the Middle East. We present eight years of our Qatar database. <h3>Background:</h3> NA <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> The database a prospective study, which began enrolling patients in 2014. collected demographics, clinical presentation, investigations, treatments, hospital complications outcome (measured as 90-days modified Rankin Score [mRS]) all admitted with acute to Hamad General Hospital...
