Background High‐income country studies show unfavorable trends in stroke incidence (SI) in younger populations. We aimed to estimate temporal change in SI disaggregated by age and sex in Latin America and the Caribbean region. Methods and Results A search strategy was used in MEDLINE, WOS, and LILACS databases from 1997 to 2021, including prospective population‐based observational studies with first‐ever stroke incidence in Latin America. Reports without data broken down by age and sex were excluded. Risk of bias was assessed with The Joanna Briggs Institute's guide. The main outcomes were incidence rate ratio and relative temporal trend ratio of SI, comparing time periods before 2010 with after 2010. Pooled relative temporal trend ratios considering only studies with 2 periods in the same population were calculated by random‐effects meta‐analysis. Meta‐regression analysis was used to evaluate incidence rate determinants. From 9242 records identified, 6 studies were selected including 4483 first‐ever stroke in 4 101 084 individuals. Crude incidence rate ratio in younger subjects (<55 years) comparing before 2010:after 2010 periods showed an increase in SI in the past decade (incidence rate ratio, 1.37 [95% CI, 1.23–1.50]), in contrast to a decrease in older people during the same period (incidence rate ratio, 0.83 [95% CI, 0.76–0.89]). Overall relative temporal trend ratio (<55:≥55 years) was 1.65 (95 CI%, 1.50–1.80), with higher increase in young women (pooled relative temporal trend ratio, 3.08 [95% CI, 1.18–4.97]; P for heterogeneity <0.001). Conclusions An unfavorable change in SI in young people, especially in women, was detected in population‐based studies in the past decade in Latin America and the Caribbean. Further investigation of the explanatory variables is required to ameliorate stroke prevention and inform local decision‐makers.

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The ongoing OPTIMISTmain study, an international, multicenter, stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial, aims to determine effectiveness and safety of low-intensity versus standard monitoring in thrombolysis-treated patients with mild-to-moderate acute ischemic stroke (AIS). An embedded process evaluation explored integration and impact of the intervention on care processes at participating US sites. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A mixed-methods approach with quantitative and qualitative data was collected between September 2021 and November 2022. Implementer surveys were undertaken at pre- and post-intervention phases to understand the perceptions of low-intensity monitoring strategy. A sample of stroke care nurses were invited to participate in semi-structured interviews at an early stage of post-intervention. Qualitative data were analyzed deductively using the normalization process theory; quantitative data were tabulated. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Interviews with 21 nurses at 8 hospitals have shown low-intensity monitoring was well accepted as there were less time constraints and reduced workload for each patient. There were initial safety concerns over missing deteriorating patients and difficulties in changing established routines. Proper training, education, and communication, and changing the habits and culture of care, were key elements to successfully adopting the new monitoring care into routine practice. Similar results were found in the post-intervention survey (42 nurses from 13 hospitals). Nurses reported time being freed up to provide patient education (56%), daily living care (50%), early mobilization (26%), mood/cognition assessment (44%), and other aspects (i.e., communication, family support). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Low-intensity monitoring for patients with mild-to-moderate AIS, facilitated by appropriate education and organizational support, appears feasible and acceptable at US hospitals.

Influence of Including Patients with Premorbid Disability in Acute Stroke Trials: The HeadPoST Experience

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Patients with premorbid functional impairment are generally excluded from acute stroke trials. We aimed to determine the impact of including such patients in the Head Positioning in acute Stroke Trial (HeadPoST) and early additional impairment on outcomes. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Post hoc analyses of HeadPoST, an international, cluster-randomized crossover trial of lying-flat versus sitting-up head positioning in acute stroke. Associations of early additional impairment, defined as change in modified Rankin scale (mRS) scores from premorbid levels (estimated at baseline) to Day 7 (“early ΔmRS”), and poor outcome (mRS score 3–6) at Day 90 were determined with generalized linear mixed model. Heterogeneity of the trial treatment effect was tested according to premorbid mRS scores 0–1 versus 2–5. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Of 8,285 patients (38.9% female, mean age 68 ± 13 years) with complete data, there were 1,984 (23.9%) with premorbid functional impairment (mRS 2–5). A significant linear association was evident for early ∆mRS and poor outcome (per 1-point increase in ΔmRS, adjusted odds ratio 1.20, 95% confidence interval 1.14–1.27; <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001). Patients with greater premorbid functional impairment were less likely to develop additional impairment, but their risk of poor 90-day outcome significantly increased with increasing (worse) premorbid mRS scores (linear trend <i>p</i> &#x3c; 0.0001). There was no heterogeneity of the trial treatment effect by level of premorbid function. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Early poststroke functional impairment that exceeded premorbid levels was associated with worse 90-day outcome, and this association increased with greater premorbid functional impairment. Yet, including premorbid impaired patients in the HeadPoST did not materially affect the subsequent treatment effect. <b><i>Clinical Trial Registration:</i></b> HeadPoST is registered at http://www.ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02162017).

Recommendations for Implementing the INTERACT3 Care Bundle for Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Latin America: Results of a Delphi Method

2024 , Ma. Ignacia Allende , MUÑOZ VENTURELLI, PAULA ANDREA , GONZALEZ MC CAWLEY, FRANCISCA , Francisca Bascur , Craig S. Anderson , Menglu Ouyang , CABIESES VALDES, BALTICA BEATRIZ , OBACH KING, ALEXANDRA ALICE , Vanessa Cano-Nigenda , Antonio Arauz

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The third Intensive Care Bundle with Blood Pressure Reduction in Acute Cerebral Hemorrhage Trial (INTERACT3) showed that the implementation of a care bundle improves outcomes after acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We aimed to establish consensus-based recommendations for the broader integration of the care bundle across Latin American countries (LAC). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A 3-phase Delphi study allowed a panel of 32 healthcare workers from 14 LAC to sequentially rank statements relevant to 7 domains (training, resources/infrastructure, patient education, blood pressure, temperature, glycemic control, and anticoagulation reversal). The pre-defined consensus threshold was 75%. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 43 statements reached consensus by the third round, with 12 new statements emerging through rounds. The highest-ranked statements in each domain emphasized critical aspects, but successful implementation requires appropriate resourcing. Key priorities were continuous training of all healthcare workers in ICH management, establishing protocols aligned with available resources, and collaborative interdisciplinary care supported by institutional networks. Statements related to anticoagulation reversal had the highest priority. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Consensus statements are provided to facilitate integration of the INTERACT3 care bundle to reduce disparities in ICH outcomes in LAC.
