SSNAP/KCL #strokeaudit findings in JAHA: Despite better 1‐year survival, women were less likely to receive timely stroke care and had worse functional outcomes, highlighting the need for more equitable, sex‐sensitive care strategies. doi.org/10.1161/JAHA...

KCL study on trends in haem. stroke subtypes in JAHA: >50% reduced incidence of ICH & SAH, across various demographic groups 1995-2018. Cautiously suggests that prevention, or at very least, delay in onset of some strokes may be achievable through improved RF management. doi.org/10.1161/JAHA...

KCL study on long-term depression post-stroke in JAHA: “...once #stroke patients develop depression, ongoing monitoring & close follow‐up should be implemented as they are at very high risk of poor prognosis (recurrent depression or persistent depression)” doi.org/10.1161/JAHA...

#ESOC2025 KCL Stroke Research team will be presenting in Helsinki this week on long-term outcomes & socioeconomic inequalities. Plus posters on ICD-11 impact, PPI including people with #aphasia, risk factor profiles, ethnic/sex inequalities in care, and many more!

Really great talk from Ulrike Hammerbeck on the mRS, its association to the range of impairments experiences post stroke, and its appropriateness as a primary OCM in rehabilitation studies. Is it really a (blunt) measure of motor impairment? #NNR2025
