Post-stroke patients have risk factors for recurrent stroke. The main risk factor is hypertension. The purpose of this community service activity is to improve the ability of the community, especially post-stroke patients, to control hypertension as a risk factor for recurrent stroke through identification of risk factors, health education and the application of light activity and deep breathing exercises. Before education is given, post-stroke patients and their families are given prestest first and after education, posttest returns to evaluate the patient's understanding. The results of the activity, there was a significant difference between the knowledge before and after being given education to post-stroke patients and their families with p value <0.05. To the head of the room and the neuroscientific nurse, dr. M. Djamil Padang can continue the activity of identifying recurrent stroke risk factors and health education related to control of recurrent stroke risk factors in post-stroke patients by involving the Health Promotion (Promkes) department of Dr. M. Djamil Padang.

Abstract Background In 2018, 212 acute strokes were diagnosed in our university teaching hospital. Our stroke service is evolving to meet the needs of this growing population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge patients have about their stroke diagnosis and identify how to improve education given post-stroke. Methods Thirty consecutive patients attending stroke clinic completed a questionnaire, including questions regarding aetiology of their stroke, medications started, driving and education received as an inpatient. Results The thirty patients were a median of 16 months post-stroke. One had a haemorrhagic stroke, all others ischaemic stroke. Only 33% correctly described the type of stroke they had. 50% correctly identified all the risk factors they had been diagnosed with, including atrial fibrillation, hypertension, hypercholesterolaemia and carotid stenosis. 70% of patients reported receiving education in hospital post-stroke. Of these, 13% received written information. 30% of patients were shown their brain scan and the majority (89%) found it beneficial. 71% of those who did not see their scan would have liked to. 52% reported knowing which medications had been started post-stroke but only 23% of patients listed new medications correctly. 43% of patients felt they did not receive enough information about new medications and 27% reported either sometimes or frequently missing medications. 77% of patients drove before their stroke. 74% of these reported that they were advised not to drive post-stroke. Of these, 35% correctly identified how long they were advised not to drive for. Only 26% of those driving before their stroke had driving advice in their discharge letter. Conclusion These results illustrate areas in which we can improve education post-stroke, including ensuring patients receive individualised information about the aetiology of their stroke, risk factors and the importance of new medications. It also highlights the importance of ensuring advice regarding driving is clearly explained and documented.

Background Recent studies reported increasing trends in hospitalization of stroke patients aged 35–64 years. Aim To examine changes in risk factor profiles among patients aged 35–64 years hospitalized with acute ischemic stroke between 2006 and 2017 in the United States. Methods We used data from the National Inpatient Sample of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project from 2006 through 2017. Principal ICD-9-CM/ICD-10-CM codes were used to identify acute ischemic stroke hospitalizations, and secondary codes were used to identify the presence of four major stroke risk factors: hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders, and tobacco use. We used the relative percent change to assess the changes in the prevalence of risk profile between 2006–2007 and 2016–2017 and linear regression models to obtain the p values for the overall trends across six time periods. Results Approximately 1.5 million acute ischemic stroke hospitalizations occurred during 2006–2017. The prevalence of having all four risk factors increased from 4.1% in 2006–2007 to 9.1% in 2016–2017 (relative percent change 122.0%, p < 0.001 for trend), prevalence of any three risk factors increased from 24.5% to 33.8% (relative percent change 38.0%, p < 0.001). Prevalence of only two risk factors decreased from 36.1% to 32.7% (p < 0.001), only one risk factor decreased from 25.2% to 18.1% (p < 0.001), and absence of risk factors decreased from 10.1% to 6.2% (p < 0.001). The most prevalent triad of risk factors was hypertension, diabetes, and lipid disorders (14.3% in 2006–2007 and 19.8% in 2016–2017), and the most common dyad risk factors was hypertension and lipid disorders (12.6% in 2006–2007 and 11.9% in 2016–2017). Conclusions The prevalence of hospitalized acute ischemic stroke patients aged 35–64 years with all four or any three of four major stroke risk factors increased by 122% and 38%, while those with only one risk factor or no risk factor has declined by 28% and 39%, respectively, from 2006 to 2017. Younger adults are increasingly at higher risk for stroke from preventable and treatable risk factors. This growing public health problem will require clinicians, healthcare systems, and public health efforts to implement more effective prevention strategies among this population.

Background : Sleep disorder is common to be the complication in stroke patients and can be a risk factor for stroke. Sleep disorder in stroke patients decrease the quality of life. Objective : The purpose of this study was to find out the prevalence of sleep disorders in a post-ischemic stroke patient and the association between sleep disorders and stroke risk factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on post-ischemic stroke at the neurology outpatient clinic of Ibnu Sina Islamic Hospital Padang. Information about stroke risk factors is obtained through patient data and guided questionnaires. Types of sleep disorders were assessed through the 2005 Specialized Center of Research Sleep Questionnaire. Results: We found out there were 57 post-ischemic stroke patients, in which 37  post-ischemic stroke patients (64.9%) had sleep disorder incidences, such as apnea, restless legs syndrome, insomnia, and narcolepsy (38.6%, 36.8%, 35.1%, and 15.8%; respectively). There was an association between age and insomnia (p = 0.034,CI = 95%). On the other hand, there was no association between other risk factors (gender, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, heart disease, obesity, smoking, and alcohol consumption) and insomnia, apnea, narcolepsy, and restless legs syndrome. Conclusions : The conclusion of this study was more than half post-ischemic stroke patients have sleep disorder with the most common were apnea. There was an association between age and insomnia. Keywords: sleep disorder, apnea, ischemic stroke

Introduction: Optimization of secondary stroke prevention is an essential part of stroke care globally. We sought to assess differences in medication utilization between African Americans (AA), Non-Hispanic Whites (NW), and Ghanaians in addition to effects related to location of residence (rural versus urban). Methods: Data from the UFHealth institutional stroke database and the Kumasi, Ghana Stroke Survivors Registry between 01/2014 and 11/2019 provided a dataset of adult patients diagnosed with stroke from both locations. Multivariate regression analysis identified differences between country of origin, race, patient demographics, location of residence, stroke risk factors, and clinical management following stroke. Results: Of the 5519 patients studied, the median age was 66 (IQR 45 - 87), 16% were AA, 19% Ghanaian, 66% NW, and 51% were male. After controlling for age, sex, stroke type, and stroke risk factors, we found that in comparison to the AA and NW, patients from Ghana were more likely to be prescribed angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors (OR 1.42, 1.05-1.93 95% CI), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) (OR 18.36, 13.08-25.78 95% CI), calcium channel blockers (CCB) (OR 8.35, 6.30-11.08 95% CI), statin (OR 3.26, 2.26-4.59 95% CI), anti-diabetic oral agents (OR 7.18, 4.21-12.27 95% CI); less likely to be prescribed anticoagulant (OR 0.22, 0.12-0.40 95% CI), beta blockers (BB) (OR 0.15, 0.11-0.21 95% CI), and insulin (OR 0.11, 0.06-0.20 95% CI). In comparison to AA, Ghanaians were more likely to be prescribed statin (OR 3.06, 1.93-4.86 95% CI), ARBs (OR 22.87, 13.85-37.79 95% CI), CCBs (OR 5.83, 3.94-8.62 95% CI), anti-diabetic oral agents (OR 8.89, 4.25-18.59 95% CI); less likely to live in an urban vs rural setting (OR 0.64, 0.46-0.89 95% CI), be prescribed anticoagulant (OR 0.28, 0.14-0.55 95% CI), BBs (OR 0.13, 0.0.09-0.19 95% CI), and insulin (OR 0.11, 0.05-0.23 95% CI). Conclusion: In conclusion, we found significant differences in the prevalence of medications prescribed for stroke prevention between Ghana and the U.S. Further research is needed to determine if these differences result in consequential differences in stroke reoccurrence between these populations.
