Deans' stroke musings: Post-stroke dementia is associated with increased subsequent all-cause mortality: A population-based cohort study

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.

Post-stroke dementia is associated with increased subsequent all-cause mortality: A population-based cohort study

You have an excellent chance of getting post stroke dementia. Hope your doctor is warning you about it and providing prevention protocols. And then you die.

Your chances of getting dementia.

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

Post-stroke dementia is associated with increased subsequent all-cause mortality: A population-based cohort study

Atherosclerosis — Harnod T, et al. | March 18, 2019

Using a subset of the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, researchers examined the link between post-stroke dementia (PSD) and risk of mortality. Participants included patients aged 40 years and older who received a stroke diagnosis between 2000 and 2012. These patients were classified into PSD and post-stroke non-dementia (PSN) cohorts, and propensity score (PS) matching was used. An increased subsequent mortality rate was observed in patients with PSD vs those without PSD. Moreover, patients with PSD had increased average hospital days and frequency of medical visit.
