Change in Hospital Risk-Standardized Stroke Mortality Performance With and Without the Passive Surveillance Stroke Severity Score
BACKGROUND: Adjustment for baseline stroke severity is necessary for accurate assessment of hospital performance. We evaluated whether adjusting for the Passive Surveillance Stroke SeVerity (PaSSV) score, a measure of stroke severity derived using administrative data, changed hospital-specific estimated 30-day risk-standardized mortality rate (RSMR) after stroke. METHODS: We used linked administrative data to identify adults who were hospitalized…

Low Use of Oral Anticoagulant Prescribing for Secondary Stroke Prevention
BACKGROUND: Oral anticoagulation reduces the risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation but is often underused. OBJECTIVES: To identify factors associated with oral anticoagulant prescribing and adherence after stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). RESEARCH DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study using linked Ontario Stroke Registry and prescription claims data. SUBJECTS: Consecutive patients with atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke/TIA admitted t…
Temporal Trends in the Use of Investigations After Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack
BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend that patients with stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) undergo neuroimaging and cardiac investigations to determine etiology and guide treatment. It is not known how the use of these investigations has changed over time and whether there have been associated changes in management. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate temporal trends in the use of brain and vascular imaging, echocardiography, and antithrombotic and surgic…
Factors that contribute to adult children caregivers' well-being
The ageing of the population will increasingly result in reliance on the family for care in the community. Existing reviews have provided insights into the needs and health outcomes of family caregivers, but are disproportionately skewed towards spousal caregivers. Presently, a large majority of family caregivers are adult children. Adult children are distinct from spousal caregivers in terms of the combination of roles they occupy and the relati…
Daughters Providing Poststroke Care
Stroke is a leading cause of disability and dependence on the family, specifically daughter caregivers. The quality of the parent-child relationship can influence the experiences and well-being of daughters. Little is known about this in the context of stroke caregiving. We aimed to explore daughters' perceptions of changes in the relationship with their parent and how these changes contribute to their well-being. We used a qualitative descriptiv…
Gender Differences in Stroke Care and Outcomes in Ontario
Gender Differences in Stroke Care Decision-Making
BACKGROUND: Women are less likely than men to receive some stroke care interventions. It is not known whether gender differences in patient preferences explain some of the observed variations in stroke care delivery. METHODS: Outpatients with and without a history of cerebrovascular disease were recruited from stroke, vascular, and general internal medicine ambulatory clinics between September 2002 and October 2003. Self-administered surveys desc…
