Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Factors associated with post-stroke suicidal death

Well this is the likely outcome of the fact that our doctors do not have anything positive to help us on our recovery path. Only 10% get to almost full recovery. NO stroke rehabilitation protocols are provided. Nothing provided to solve our fatigue. Nothing provided to solve our spasticity. Nothing done to prevent our likely dementia. In simplest terms our doctors DO NOTHING.  Wouldn't you be fucking depressed? The solution is to solve the problems in stroke,
I got the talk while in the hospital, 'Have you ever thought about committing suicide? Also got the question, 'Do you blame your body for failing you?'

Abstract






Background and purpose

The aim of this study was to estimate the relative risk of suicidal death compared to the general population and to identify risk factors for suicidal death among stroke patients.





Methods

Our sample consisted of 7175 patients who were diagnosed with stroke and admitted at Asan Medical Center from January 2005 to December 2012. Information on suicidal death was obtained from the database of the Korean National Statistical Office. The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for post-stroke suicide was estimated. Additionally, we conducted a 1:6 case-control study using patients who did not commit suicide.





Results

Thirty patients committed suicidal death, with the mean time interval between hospital admission and suicide being 1.9 ± 1.8 years. The SMR for suicide was 2.14 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44–3.05). Case-control analysis revealed that diabetes mellitus, depression, and large ischemic lesions in the subcortex and brainstem were significantly associated with suicidal death.





Conclusions

The risk of suicidal death is approximately 2 times higher than that in the general population. Depression, diabetes, and large lesions in specific locations should be considered in the implementation of suicide prevention strategies in stroke patients.(100% recovery would be the solution preferred, Solve the primary problem, not the secondary problem)
