Background: Patients who had stroke recurrence after the first stroke have a high risk of disability as well as high rates of morbidity and mortality. Incidence of stroke recurrence can be prevented by controlling risk factors and secondary prevention among post stroke patient, and also tent of the duration of the occurrence of recurrent stroke after the first attack. Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics and stroke recurrence periods of post stroke patients.Methods: Cross sectional study design was used in this study. Total 73 recurrent stroke patients age 18-60 years old were selected using consecutive sampling technique. This study was conducted on patients during their follow up in the outpatient department of unit neurology, Margono Soekardjo Purwokerto Hospital during November-December 2015. The characteristics of the recurrent stroke patients include sex, age, education, occupation, and income. This study also describes type of stroke and duration of illness. The periods of recurrent stroke patients divided in to three time periods (≤ 6-month, 7-12 month, >12 month). Results: 73 recurrent stroke patients showed 56% were female, age group 39-60 years old was 97,5%, 60,3% have low education (below senior high school), 64,7% work as public and private employees. Income of respondents were low income 53,4%. Ischemic stroke was the majority (87,7%), no history family of stroke 64,4%, 1-5 years duration of illness and periods of stroke recurrence >12 month was 45,20%.Conclusion:  Ischemic stroke is the biggest case of recurrent stroke, so that we need to emphasize the importance of secondary prevention including medication and treatment.

Abstract Background: Stroke is one of the top contributors to burden of disability-adjusted life-years worldwide. Family physicians have key role in optimal secondary prevention post-stroke helping patients make appropriate lifestyle changes and take medication in accordance with the recommended clinical practice guidelines.Methods: Our aim was to characterize the profile of patients who were being managed in primary care setting for secondary prevention of stroke. Our specific objectives were: (i) to examine the level of overall and individual risk factors control after an index-stroke event in patients visiting the primary care setting and (ii) to describe the factors associated with the achievement of overall risk factors control in post-stroke patients.Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.We conducted a study looking retrospectively at records from our electronic chronic disease database. Our study included post-stroke patients who visited public primary care setting in Singapore between 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2016. Based on AHA Stroke guidelines, we operationalized our outcome of secondary prevention post-stroke as overall control, which comprised of patients having blood pressure, lipids, and glucose reading (for those who had diabetes) all well-controlled. We conducted descriptive analysis and performed multivariable logistic analysis to determine factors associated with overall control.Results: There were 24,240 patients in our study. Overall control was better in post-stroke patients without diabetes (49.2%) as compared to those with diabetes (28.1%).Among post-stroke patients without diabetes, factors significantly associated with overall control were sex [OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.39], ethnicity [OR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.90], BMI [OR: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.62, 0.84) and atrial fibrillation [OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.21, 1.78].Among post-stroke patients with diabetes, factors significantly associated with overall control were sex [OR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.12, 1.46], ethnicity, BMI, atrial fibrillation[OR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.51], chronic kidney disease and smoking status.Conclusion: We reported a sub-optimal level of overall control. Among post-stroke patients, those with diabetes had a higher proportion of sub-optimal control as compared to those without diabetes. Irrespective of diabetic status, being female, having high BMI, and of Malay ethnicity were associated with poor overall control compared to Chinese.

Ischaemic Attack

This study evaluates the kind of aftercare that ischaemic stroke patients receive and the extent that aftercare fulfils the criteria of the ‘Dutch Transmural Protocol transient ischaemic attack/cerebrovascular accident’. Fifty-seven patients were interviewed 1 year post-stroke about secondary prevention and aftercare. Forty general practitioners (GPs) completed a questionnaire about guidance and secondary prevention (concerning medication and lifestyle advice). Most patients would like to see their GP more regularly. More aftercare was required than was planned. The use of aspirin remained the same, fewer patients used statins and more used antihypertensives. Of the 40 GPs who participated, 12% did not apply prevention. Blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol were measured in 84%, 28% and 40% of patients. All of these measures were often elevated, but treatment was not given. Lifestyle advice was offered to one-quarter of patients. Considering all of the advice given in the Dutch Protocol, several aspects can be improved in relation to secondary prevention. Too little attention is paid to giving lifestyle advice, stricter medical checkups by GPs are necessary and there is a decrease in use of preventive medication, partly because GPs monitors use of medication inadequately. The use of the Dutch Protocol in aftercare can be improved by a more detailed description of advice.

Background: stroke is a disorder of nervous system function that occurs suddenly and is caused by brain bleeding disorders that can affect the quality of life physical dimensions, social dimensions, psychological dimensions, environmental dimensions. Based on the result of Lumbu study (2015) the number of samples were 71 people collected data using the (WHOQOL-BREF). There were 56 people (78,9%) had the poor quality of life of post stroke. The mean of post-stroke quality of life domain was physical domain (45,27%), psychological domain (49,87%), social relations domain (48,15%) and environmental domain (50.01%). Objective: the purpose of the study was know the quality of life of the stroke patients in Outpatient Polyclinic of Private Hospital in Yogyakarta. Methods: used descriptive quantitative by using questionnaire test of purposive sampling system based on patients who have been affected of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke before, number 30 respondents. Result: quality of life of stroke patient of medium physical dimension (67%), psychological dimension (71%), social dimension (67%), dimension good environment (63%). Conclusion: the quality of life of stroke patients of physical dimension, psychological dimension, and moderate social dimension, while the quality of life of stroke patients were good environmental dimension.   Keywords: Hemorrhagic stroke, ischemic stroke, quality of life
