Small, randomized trials of patients with cervical artery dissection showed conflicting results regarding optimal stroke prevention strategies. We aimed to compare outcomes in treated antiplatelets versus anticoagulation.
Background: Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) accounts for a quarter of strokes in young adults. Clinical presentation is often non-specific, leading to significant proportion cases being misdiagnosed. This study aims identify factors contributing potential misdiagnosis and assess the impact on patient outcomes. Methods: secondary analysis Antithrombotics Stroke Prevention Artery Dissection (STOP-CAD), multicenter cross-sectional international retrospective adult patients presenting an acute...
BACKGROUND: Patients presenting with cervical artery dissection (CAD) are at risk for subsequent ischemic events. We aimed to identify characteristics that associated increased of stroke after initial presentation CAD and evaluate the differential impact anticoagulant versus antiplatelet therapy in these high-risk individuals. METHODS: This was a preplanned secondary analysis STOP-CAD study (Antithrombotic Treatment Stroke Prevention Cervical Artery Dissection), multicenter international...
Abstract Objective Patients with cervical artery dissection (CAD) are at increased ischemic stroke risk. We aimed to identify characteristics that associated risk of following initial presentation CAD and evaluate the differential impact anticoagulant versus antiplatelet therapy in these high-risk individuals. Methods This was a secondary analysis Antithrombotic Treatment for Stroke Prevention Cervical Artery Dissection (STOP-CAD) study, multicenter retrospective observational study. The...
Cervical artery dissection (CeAD) accounts for 25% of ischemic strokes in young adults. This study evaluated the benefits and harms intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) patients presenting with spontaneous CeAD acute stroke symptoms. analysis used data from retrospective STOP-CAD included who presented within 1 day Patients were dichotomized into those received IVT managed without IVT. We assessed association between 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale scores 0-2) incidence...
Family Councils are independent, self-determining groups composed of family members (inclusive friends) who have assembled with the main purpose protecting and improving quality life those living in long-term care (LTC) homes. This study aimed to describe prevalence characteristics British Columbia, Canada. We conducted a cross-sectional survey administrators 259 homes received 222 usable surveys. Of 151 LTC that had Councils, it was most common for be larger (>50 residents), accredited,...
Long-term care (LTC) centers experienced an unprecedented emergency involving exponential mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Individuals residing in long-term were particularly vulnerable to effects of COVID-19, placing residents, staff, families, and organizations a precarious position. Complex issues surrounding how manage populations pandemic have highlighted importance gathering information on ethical that require effective policy decision-making. This project sought identify faced...

Introduction: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, worldwide efforts develop vaccines give protection against COVID-19. Despite record speed at which have been developed, still subject same checks, balances, and scientific regulatory rigour as any other vaccine, shown be safe. The study aimed establish relationship of vaccination on length stay. Materials methods: A retrospective cohort was carried out among all 1123 patients admitted or discharged during March 2021 June tertiary care...
Background: Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are at risk for stroke and dementia. We report baseline Year 1 results from an ongoing study assessing brain health in people moderate- great-complexity ACHD. Methods: Participants aged ≥18 undergo Year-3 MRI/MRA annual cognitive assessment (MoCA, NIH Toolbox-Cognitive Battery (NIH-TB)). Results: Of 93 participants to date, 79 (85%) have completed follow-up. At baseline, the group had lower MoCA (26.32 vs. 27.38; p=0.04) NIH-TB scores...
Background: People with congenital heart disease (CHD) face developmental and acquired risks to their neurocognitive health. Mechanisms clinical-neuroimaging correlates are not well-defined. We report baseline neuroimaging findings, associations demographic/clinical factors, cognitive performance, from a longitudinal study of brain health in adult CHD (ACHD). Methods: Participants (n=99) aged >18y moderate-severe complexity were recruited the ACHD referral centre for Western Canada. They...
