TL;DR: It is emphasised the complex nature of prescribing errors, and the wide range of error-producing conditions within hospitals including the work environment, team, task, individual and patient, which are a major cause of patient safety incidents.
Stroke patients admitted within normal working hours are more likely to achieve process standards and to have better outcomes
TL;DR: Patients with stroke admitted out of hours and at weekends or public holidays are less likely to be managed according to current guidelines and experience poorer short-term outcomes than those admitted during normal working hours, after correcting for known independent predictors of outcome and early mortality.
Inequality in Care and Differences in Outcome Following Stroke in People With ESRD
Mark Findlay,Jesse Dawson,Rachael L. MacIsaac,Alan G. Jardine,Mary Joan MacLeod,Wendy Metcalfe,Jamie P. Traynor,Patrick B. Mark +7 more
TL;DR: Individuals on dialysis are functionally more dependent before stroke and less frequently receive optimal stroke care and after a stroke, death is more likely in ESRD patients.
Marine-derived n-3 fatty acids therapy for stroke.
TL;DR: A large number of randomised controlled trials comparing marine-derived n-3 PUFAs to placebo or open control in people with a history of stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), or both found no evidence of an effect of the intervention for the remainder of the secondary outcomes.

Lars Kellert,Christian Hametner,Niaz Ahmed,Geraldine Rauch,Mary Joan MacLeod,Francesco Perini,Kennedy R. Lees,Peter A. Ringleb +7 more
TL;DR: The need for a more individual BP management accounting for pre-treatment BP and the acute BP course (ie, BPV) to achieve best possible outcome for the patient is suggested.
