Abstract

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of stroke - the second leading cause of death worldwide - were conducted predominantly in populations of European ancestry1,2. Here, in cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analyses of 110,182 patients who have had a stroke (five ancestries, 33% non-European) and 1,503,898 control individuals, we identify association signals for stroke and its subtypes at 89 (61 new) independent loci: 60 in primary inverse-variance-weighted analyses and 29 in secondary meta-regression and multitrait analyses. On the basis of internal cross-ancestry validation and an independent follow-up in 89,084 additional cases of stroke (30% non-European) and 1,013,843 control individuals, 87% of the primary stroke risk loci and 60% of the secondary stroke risk loci were replicated (P < 0.05). Effect sizes were highly correlated across ancestries. Cross-ancestry fine-mapping, in silico mutagenesis analysis3, and transcriptome-wide and proteome-wide association analyses revealed putative causal genes (such as SH3PXD2A and FURIN) and variants (such as at GRK5 and NOS3). Using a three-pronged approach4, we provide genetic evidence for putative drug effects, highlighting F11, KLKB1, PROC, GP1BA, LAMC2 and VCAM1 as possible targets, with drugs already under investigation for stroke for F11 and PROC. A polygenic score integrating cross-ancestry and ancestry-specific stroke GWASs with vascular-risk factor GWASs (integrative polygenic scores) strongly predicted ischaemic stroke in populations of European, East Asian and African ancestry5. Stroke genetic risk scores were predictive of ischaemic stroke independent of clinical risk factors in 52,600 clinical-trial participants with cardiometabolic disease. Our results provide insights to inform biology, reveal potential drug targets and derive genetic risk prediction tools across ancestries.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To examine the causal relevance of lifelong differences in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) for ischemic stroke (IS) relative to that for coronary heart disease (CHD) using a Mendelian randomization approach. METHODS: We undertook a 2-sample Mendelian randomization, based on summary data, to estimate the causal relevance of LDL-C for risk of IS and CHD. Information from 62 independent genetic variants with genome-wide significant effects on LDL-C levels was used to estimate the causal effects of LDL-C for IS and IS subtypes (based on 12,389 IS cases from METASTROKE) and for CHD (based on 60,801 cases from CARDIoGRAMplusC4D). We then assessed the effects of LDL-C on IS and CHD for heterogeneity. RESULTS: A 1 mmol/L higher genetically determined LDL-C was associated with a 50% higher risk of CHD (odds ratio [OR] 1.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.32-1.68, p = 1.1 × 10-8). By contrast, the causal effect of LDL-C was much weaker for IS (OR 1.12, 95% CI 0.96-1.30, p = 0.14; p for heterogeneity = 2.6 × 10-3) and, in particular, for cardioembolic stroke (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.84-1.33, p = 0.64; p for heterogeneity = 8.6 × 10-3) when compared with that for CHD. CONCLUSIONS: In contrast with the consistent effects of LDL-C-lowering therapies on IS and CHD, genetic variants that confer lifelong LDL-C differences show a weaker effect on IS than on CHD. The relevance of etiologically distinct IS subtypes may contribute to the differences observed.

Abstract

Comment inThe yin and yang of magnesium and calcium: New genetic insights for stroke? [Neurology. 2019]; International audience; Objective To determine whether serum magnesium and calcium concentrations are causally associated with ischemic stroke or any of its subtypes using the mendelian randomization approach. Methods Analyses were conducted using summary statistics data for 13 single-nucleotide polymorphisms robustly associated with serum magnesium (n = 6) or serum calcium (n = 7) concentrations. The corresponding data for ischemic stroke were obtained from the MEGASTROKE consortium (34,217 cases and 404,630 noncases). Results In standard mendelian randomization analysis, the odds ratios for each 0.1 mmol/L (about 1 SD) increase in genetically predicted serum magnesium concentrations were 0.78 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.69-0.89; p = 1.3 × 10 −4) for all ischemic stroke, 0.63 (95% CI 0.50-0.80; p = 1.6 × 10 −4) for cardioembolic stroke, and 0.60 (95% CI 0.44-0.82; p = 0.001) for large artery stroke; there was no association with small vessel stroke (odds ratio 0.90, 95% CI 0.67-1.20; p = 0.46). Only the association with cardioembolic stroke was robust in sensitivity analyses. There was no association of genetically predicted serum calcium concentrations with all ischemic stroke (per 0.5 mg/dL [about 1 SD] increase in serum calcium: odds ratio 1.03, 95% CI 0.88-1.21) or with any subtype. Conclusions This study found that genetically higher serum magnesium concentrations are associated with a reduced risk of cardioembolic stroke but found no significant association of genetically higher serum calcium concentrations with any ischemic stroke subtype.

Abstract

Background: Stroke is a leading cause of acquired disability in adults worldwide, and the burden of stroke is projected to increase. Current long-term stroke outcome data including functional status, activity, and participation limitations as well as information on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are vital for future rehabilitation and resource planning of stroke survivors., Methods: First-ever stroke survivors from a population-based cohort with ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage were followed up 3-4 years after stroke onset via clinic appointments, home visits, or telephone. Ischemic stroke was stratified by clinical syndrome (Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project classification) and pathogenetic mechanism (TOAST classification). We assessed the participants' functional status and independence with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Barthel Index (BI) and their HRQoL across several domains (Short Form Questionnaire-36, EuroQoL-5D, and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS)). We used logistic and linear regression analyses to analyze potential baseline predictors of 3-4-year outcome., Results: Four hundred individuals were included; 151 died before clinical follow-up and 47 (12%) were lost to detailed follow-up. Two hundred and two individuals (median age: 72, IQR: 65-79; 40% female) were followed up after a median of 3.2 years (IQR: 3.1-3.5). Nineteen individuals (9%) had a recurrent stroke during the 3-4-year follow-up period. Among the 202 follow-up attendees, 147 (73%) had favorable functional outcome (mRS ≤2) and 134 (69%) of the 195 respondents reported good-excellent HRQoL according to SF-36. Age (HR: 1.03; 95% CI: 1.00-1.05), initial stroke severity (HR: 1.16; 95% CI: 1.10-1.22; p &lt; 0.001), living with in-home care or in care facility at baseline (HR: 8.77; 95% CI: 2.98-25.64), and recurrent stroke (HR: 3.58; 95% CI: 1.47-8.77) were predictors of poor functional outcome (mRS&gt;2). Poor functional outcome/death was less common among IS due to Other Causes and Small Artery Occlusion than other pathogenetic mechanisms (20% and 33% vs. 56-68%; p &lt; 0.01). SIS respondents with poor functional outcomes (n = 32) reported worst outcome in the hand domain of SIS (median: 28/100; IQR: 0-73)., Conclusions: Most 3-4-year stroke survivors have favorable functional outcomes and are independent in ADL in a population-based cohort. Despite its relative rarity, recurrent stroke was a predictor of poor functional outcome, emphasizing the need of adequate secondary prevention., (© 2024 The Author(s). Published by S.

Abstract

Healthy agroecosystems provide a range of ecosystem services, and the lack of information about the importance of their health degree leads to the unsustainability of these agroecosystems. To assess the health status of agroecosystems, a model was developed using spatial analysis-based procedures in Geographic Information System (GIS) media, surveyed data, and field monitoring at Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Initially, a survey-based study was conducted in 50 barley fields of Bandar-e-Torkaman County, north of Iran, during the 2016-2017 years. Then, the health index maps were provided by spatial analysis-based functions in GIS media. For accurate estimation of health status in barley agroecosystems, some meteorological variables were layered. Finally, the health status of the agroecosystems was determined based on six indices, including pesticides consumption rate, chemical fertilizers consumption rate, crop yield, and cultivar type, soil organic matter, and biodiversity indices. When all the layers overlaid, only 12% of the surveyed agroecosystems were located in the healthy class. The use of proper tillage methods, the appropriate weed control operations, the optimum consumption of high-quality pesticides, high soil organic matter, and grain yield > 2.6 ton ha -1 were the main reasons for obtaining of health degree in these agroecosystems. In contrast, the consumption of low-quality pesticides, the use of inappropriate tillage tools and machinery, the little knowledge of the farmers about the optimum rates and consumption methods of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, and resistance of some weeds to herbicides were identified as the most essential reasons for non-health status in the most surveyed barley agroecosystems., (© 2022.

Abstract

Background and Purpose: Up-to-date population-based information about long-term survival, causes of death and recurrence after stroke is needed., Methods: Four hundred consecutive individuals in a population-based cohort of first-ever stroke between 2015 and 2016 in Lund, Sweden, were followed up to 3 years regarding (i) survival (Swedish Population Register); (ii) causes of death (Swedish Causes of Death Register); and (iii) stroke recurrence (interview and medical chart review). Index and recurrent ischaemic stroke cases were classified using the Trial of ORG 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment (TOAST) and Oxfordshire Community Stroke Project; and comorbidities were classified using the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Cox regression was used to determine predictors for 3-year mortality. Survival rates were compared with three local studies over a 30-year timespan., Results: Amongst 400 first-ever stroke patients, 265 (66%) survived 3 years post-stroke. Age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.09; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.11), stroke severity (HR 1.11; 95% CI 1.08-1.13) and comorbidities (HR 1.36; 95% CI 1.22-1.53) were independently related to 3-year mortality. Amongst index ischaemic stroke patients, survival was lowest amongst those with cardio-aortic embolism (51/91; 56%). Cerebrovascular disease (54/135; 40%) and ischaemic heart disease (25/135; 19%) were the most common causes of death. Within 3 years, 30 (8%) had recurrent stroke. Amongst patients with index ischaemic stroke, 16/29 (55%) had a different TOAST pathogenetic mechanism or hemorrhagic stroke upon recurrence. Stroke survival improved between 1983-1985 and 2015-2016 (p = 0.002), but no significant change was observed between 2001-2002 and 2015-2016 (p = 0.48)., Conclusions: Stroke survival rates are relatively high, but their improvement over recent decades may be slowing down, possibly due to the composition of the first-ever stroke population. The common occurrence of changed pathogenetic mechanisms between first-ever and recurrent stroke highlights the value of reassessment in recurrent stroke., (© 2021 The Authors.

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate incidence of self-reported falls and associated factors in a ten-year perspective after stroke., Methods: From a population-based cohort of first-ever stroke patients (n = 416) included in the Lund Stroke Register between March 1, 2001, and February 28, 2002, we performed a follow up of all 145 survivors ten years after stroke. We collected data on age, gender, main stroke type, living and housing situation, general health status (question 1 in the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), dizziness, physical activity, Barthel Index, mobility aids, moving ability inside/outside, and health-related quality of life as defined by the EuroQol 3 dimension scale (EQ-5D-3L). Factors that may relate to falls were compared between those who had experienced falls after stroke or not., Results: Ten years after stroke, 49 patients (34 %) reported falls and 96 patients (66 %) reported no falls. Compared to patients with no falls, those who reported falls were older (median age 83.3 years vs 75.6 years; p < 0.001), more often lived alone, were more dependent in daily living, had less physical activity, poorer general health status, more often needed mobility aids, were more often unable to move alone outside, and had poorer health-related quality of life in all items in EQ-5D-3L except pain/discomfort., Conclusions: Falls had occurred in approximately one third of the participants ten years after the stroke, and were strongly associated with several measures of frailty. Our results indicate that fall prevention should in particular focus on those at high risk of falls., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest None., (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract

Background: There is a worldwide development toward using data from hospital-based stroke registers to estimate epidemiological trends. However, incomplete case ascertainment may cause selection bias. We examined the completeness of case ascertainment and selection bias in two hospital-based Swedish stroke registers., Methods: First-ever stroke cases between March 2015 and February 2016 in the catchment area of Skåne University Hospital, Lund, Sweden, were included from multiple overlapping sources: two hospital-based stroke registers, Riksstroke-Lund and Lund Stroke Register (LSR); local outpatient and inpatient registers; primary care registers; and autopsy registers. The resulting population-based cohort was used as reference to assess completeness of case ascertainment and patient characteristics in Riksstroke-Lund and LSR., Results: In total, 400 stroke patients were identified. Riksstroke-Lund detected 328 (82%) patients, whereas LSR detected 363 (91%). Patients undetected by hospital-based registers had higher 28-day case fatality than those detected (44% vs 9%; P = .001). Patients only detected in primary care (n = 11) more often lived in healthcare facilities compared with those detected by hospital-based registers (57% vs 7%; P = .001). Patients not detected by Riksstroke-Lund, but detected by population-based sources, had less severe strokes (median NIHSS 3 vs 5; P = .013)., Conclusions: Some first-ever stroke patients, such as those with high early case fatality and those with mild stroke, may go undetected with hospital-based screening used in clinical stroke registers. This can result in selection bias due to not identifying specific groups of patients including some with high early case fatality and those living in healthcare facilities., (© 2019 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

Abstract

Background: Up-to-date epidemiological stroke studies are important for healthcare planning and evaluating prevention strategies. This population-based study investigates temporal trends in stroke incidence and case-fatality in southern Sweden., Methods: First-ever stroke cases in the local catchment area of Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, between March, 2015 and February, 2016, were included from several sources, including 2 prospective hospital-based registers, retrospective screening of primary care visits, and autopsy registers. Stroke incidence and 28-day case-fatality rates were compared with data from this area obtained through similar methodology between March, 2001 and February, 2002., Results: Altogether, 456 and 413 first-ever stroke patients were identified during the earlier and later time periods respectively. The age- and sex-standardized stroke incidence rates decreased from 246 (95% CI 224-270) to 165 (95% CI 149-182) per 100,000 people. However, incidence remained unaltered among those <65 years. Early case-fatality decreased from 14 to 11% (p = 0.165). -Conclusion: First-ever stroke incidence in southern Sweden has decreased with 33% since the beginning of this millenni-um. Incidence rates have decreased among the elderly but remain unchanged among younger age groups. Our findings warrant further studies on trends in risk factor profiles and effects of prevention strategies, and heightened focus on stroke in the young., (© 2018 S. Karger AG, Basel.)

Abstract

Preclinical studies suggest that stem cell therapy (SCT) may improve sensorimotor recovery after stroke. Upper extremity motor impairment (UEMI) is common after stroke, often entailing substantial disability. To evaluate the feasibility of post-stroke UEMI as a target for SCT, we examined a selected sample of stroke patients potentially suitable for SCT, aiming to assess the frequency and recovery of UEMI, as well as its relation to activity limitations and participation restrictions. Patients aged 20-75 years with first-ever ischemic stroke, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores 1-18, underwent brain diffusion-weighted MRI within 4 days of stroke onset (n = 108). Survivors were followed up after 3-5 years, including assessment with NIHSS, Fugl-Meyer assessment of upper extremity (FMA-UE), modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS). UEMI was defined as NIHSS arm/hand score ≥1. UEMI recovery was evaluated with change in NIHSS arm/hand scores between baseline and follow-up. Of 97 survivors, 84 were available to follow-up. Among 76 subjects (of 84) without recurrent stroke, 41 had UEMI at baseline of which 10 had residual UEMI at follow-up. The FMA-UE showed moderate-severe impairment in seven of 10 survivors with residual UEMI. UEMI was correlated to mRS (r s  = 0.49, p < 0.001) and the SIS social participation domain (r s  = -0.38, p = 0.001). Nearly 25% of the subjects with UEMI at baseline had residual impairment after 3-5 years, whereas about 75% showed complete recovery. Most of the subjects with residual UEMI had moderate-severe impairment, which correlated strongly to dependency in daily activities and social participation restrictions. Our findings suggest that SCT targeting post-stroke UEMI may be clinically valuable with significant meaningful benefits for patients but also emphasize the need of early prognostication to detect patients that will have residual impairment in order to optimize patient selection for SCT.

Abstract

Preclinical studies suggest that stem cell therapy (SCT) may improve poststroke recovery, and clinical trials investigating safety are ongoing. However, knowledge about patients' attitudes to SCT in stroke is limited. We evaluated the knowledge and attitudes to this therapeutic approach as well as possible factors influencing this among stroke patients potentially suitable for SCT. Consecutive first-ever acute ischemic stroke patients aged 20-75 years with NIH stroke scale scores 1-18 were included. Exclusion criteria were severe comorbidities or infratentorial stroke. Clinical follow-up after 3-5 years assessed severity of residual stroke symptoms, cognitive function, functional status, patient-reported outcome, and comorbidity, and after receiving standardized information, the participants also completed an eight-item questionnaire on knowledge and attitudes about SCT. The relationships between clinical variables and positive attitude to SCT were assessed with logistic regression analyses. Of 108 patients included at baseline, 84 participated at follow-up and completed the questionnaire. In total, 12% had prior knowledge of SCT. When informed, 63% were positive toward it and 36% reported willingness to participate in SCT trials. Only 5%-8% expressed ethical considerations regarding different stem cell sources. Positive attitudes to SCT were associated with male gender (OR: 3.74; 95% CI: 1.45-9.61; P < 0.01) and better patient-reported outcome (OR: 1.02; 95% CI: 1.00-1.04; P < 0.05). In conclusion, stroke patients had limited prior knowledge of SCT, yet attitudes were positive among the majority after receiving standardized and neutral information. Gender and degree of stroke recovery may influence attitudes to SCT, indicating a need for targeted information to improve knowledge about SCT.

Abstract

Background and Purpose: NINDS (National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke)-SiGN (Stroke Genetics Network) is an international consortium of ischemic stroke studies that aims to generate high-quality phenotype data to identify the genetic basis of pathogenic stroke subtypes. This analysis characterizes the etiopathogenetic basis of ischemic stroke and reliability of stroke classification in the consortium., Methods: Fifty-two trained and certified adjudicators determined both phenotypic (abnormal test findings categorized in major pathogenic groups without weighting toward the most likely cause) and causative ischemic stroke subtypes in 16 954 subjects with imaging-confirmed ischemic stroke from 12 US studies and 11 studies from 8 European countries using the web-based Causative Classification of Stroke System. Classification reliability was assessed with blinded readjudication of 1509 randomly selected cases., Results: The distribution of pathogenic categories varied by study, age, sex, and race (P<0.001 for each). Overall, only 40% to 54% of cases with a given major ischemic stroke pathogenesis (phenotypic subtype) were classified into the same final causative category with high confidence. There was good agreement for both causative (κ 0.72; 95% confidence interval, 0.69-0.75) and phenotypic classifications (κ 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.70-0.75)., Conclusions: This study demonstrates that pathogenic subtypes can be determined with good reliability in studies that include investigators with different expertise and background, institutions with different stroke evaluation protocols and geographic location, and patient populations with different epidemiological characteristics. The discordance between phenotypic and causative stroke subtypes highlights the fact that the presence of an abnormality in a patient with stroke does not necessarily mean that it is the cause of stroke., (© 2014 American Heart Association, Inc.)
