Outstanding work from Dr Andrea Jones and colleagues applying complexity analysis to examine relationships between individual and system-level factors and outcomes after stroke.

Multilayer network analysis drawing on data from 2.9 million patients in GWTG-Stroke Registry identified county-level poverty, health insurance status & homelessness as influential factors associated with unfavorable functional outcomes after acute ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.

Should patients with #stroke and device-detected subclinical #AFib (SCAF) receive OAC?
Our subgroup analyses of the @Artesia_RCT published in @TheLancetNeuro provide novel insights indicating that they indeed should in the right setting.

#STROKE January #EditorPick: Nerinetide treatment is strongly associated with smaller final infarct volumes among patients not treated with alteplase — the reduction was greater among patients with poor prognostic factors. #AHAJournals https://t.co/XghE2vpSPV
