Deans' stroke musings: Leading stroke experts urge Europe to end the “stroke care lottery”

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.

Leading stroke experts urge Europe to end the “stroke care lottery”

Once again 'stroke experts' missing the trees for the forest. You fucking idiots, the goal is 100% recovery, RESULTS NOT 'CARE'.

Under embargo until 10 October 2017 13:30 GMT

1. New survey presented in European Parliament reveals large disparities in access to highly effective therapy. (Access means nothing if you don't deliver results.)
2. Stroke is the 2nd most common cause of death
3. Therapeutic breakthroughs in acute stroke treatment greatly improve outcomes for stroke survivors
4. Recommendations to reduce inequalities in stroke remission and survival rates
Stroke experts from across Europe gather in Brussels today under the umbrella of the European Stroke Organisation – the pan-European society of stroke researchers and physicians. They call on political leaders to recognise stroke as an EU-wide health priority and end inequalities in access to the current stroke management standards. The adoption of new clot removal technologies (mechanical thrombectomy) can greatly improve stroke survival rates and outcomes for victims of stroke and alleviate the societal impact. A new survey reveals that many patients throughout Europe do not yet have equal access to this highly effective therapy. This partly explains the large disparities among member states regarding stroke survival and remission rates.
Today, representatives from the European Parliament, the European Stroke Organisation, physicians and patients will be considering how to remove barriers to acute treatment and support EU member states in translating best practices in stroke management into real life.
Hosted by MEP Aldo Patriciello and moderated by Prof. Valeria Caso, President of the European Stroke Organisation, the findings of the survey were presented at the event by Prof. Urs Fischer, the ESO Secretary General.
Prof. Valeria Caso said: “We have an opportunity to restructure the pathway for acute stroke and enhance endovascular treatment. It’s a revolution…Don’t forget stroke has significant economic and social implications on survivors, families of stroke victims, and society as a whole."
“There are huge inequalities with regard to stroke treatment. All stakeholders across the stroke care chain need to work together to address them. Governments should be aware of just how cost-effective it is to treat stroke more effectively and efficiently”, said Prof. Urs Fischer.
Aldo Patriciello MEP said: “Stroke is a major, pan European, public health concern. We are discussing concrete options to ensure equal access across Europe to quality healthcare. If we improve exchange of best practices, cross-border cooperation and capacity building we can end this stroke care lottery.”
