Deans' stroke musings: New Tool Can Predict Individual’s Dementia Risk

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.

New Tool Can Predict Individual’s Dementia Risk

But what fucking good does this do without protocols that will precisely remove that risk?

So with your chance of getting dementia your doctor is still responsible for preventing it.

Your stroke risk of dementia, has your doctor told you of this?

1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study? May 2012.

2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.`

3. A 20% chance in this research. July 2013.

4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018

New Tool Can Predict Individual’s Dementia Risk

HealthDay News — A risk score tool can accurately predict an individual’s 13-year dementia risk, according to a study published online Nov. 17 in JAMA Network Open.

Lina Ren, from Shenzhen Mental Health Centre in China, and colleagues developed a point risk score prediction model for dementia using data from a diagnostic study of 444,695 U.K. individuals.

The researchers found that dementia occurrence during the 13 years of follow-up (mean age at baseline, 56.2 years) was 0.7 percent for men and 0.5 percent for women. In the training set, the C statistic of the final multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was 0.86 for men and 0.85 for women versus 0.85 for men and 0.87 for women in the testing data set. Some modifiable risk and protective factors were similar between men and women, but they also presented independent risk factors that accounted for 31.7 percent of men developing dementia and 53.35 percent of women developing dementia, according to the weighted population-attributable fraction. The total point score of the risk score model ranged from −18 to 30 in men versus −17 to 30 in women. For both genders, the risk score model yielded nearly 100 percent prediction accuracy of 13-year dementia risk.

“The findings of this diagnostic study suggest that a risk score tool can be used for individual prediction of dementia risk that may help individuals to identify their potential risk profile and provide guidance on precise and timely actions,m to take to prevent or delay dementia,” the authors write.
