“…The burden is more significant for women because they are the usual and often lone carers of the family (Fuh et al, 1999;King et al, 2001;Qiu, 2008). Studies on Chinese care-givers found that spousal carers had more stress than non-spousal carers (Fuh et al, 1999;King et al, 2001;Qiu, 2008), but there was no gender difference in the prevalence of depression (Fuh et al, 1999;Pang et al, 2002). Further research is required to find out the interaction between gender and marital status in the development of psychological problems, and any differences in their effects between the Chinese and Western cultures.…”

Stroke (Cerebral vascular accident, CVA) is a common and serious disease. Most of the survivals would be disabled after their illness recovery, causes serious burden on caregivers. It is said that rehabilitation could help functional recovery of stroke patients, regain independence after stroke. Due to the long course of stroke, how to prevent survivals from recurrence is an important issue. This study attempts to examine the relationship between stroke recurrence and strength of rehabilitation, and build a stroke recurrence prediction model utilizing a number of supervised learning techniques to assist physicians with making clinical decisions.In the past, most of the related work used the samples from a single hospital as a sample, but it cannot fully catch all the clinic information of the patients. Therefore, this study used the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2010 of the NHIRD as the data source, to examine the effectiveness of rehabilitation.In terms of accuracy rate of all classifiers, we get the best effectiveness (78%) while adopting the inpatient admission dataset and C4.5 to predict recurrence. We also find physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy treatments during inpatient admission are the key factors to decrease the chance to recrudesce in the rehabilitation periods. The higher strength and frequency rehabilitation treatment is also the key influence variables in our high accuracy prediction model which means that is useful to lower the recurrence rate of stroke patients.

“…Over 5.5 million of these patients will eventually die and over two-thirds of all stroke deaths in the world occur in developing countries [6,7]. The annual incidence of stroke per 100000 people in Western countries is 100 to 300 while in Iran, based on some altered studies, average annual stroke attack rates are between 33 to 372 per 100000 [8].…”

Background: Stroke is a major cause of death and disability in the world and these complications can be decreased by competent emergency care. Emergency medical service (EMS) transfer half of the stroke patients to hospitals. This study aimed to determine diagnosis of status and transfer time of stroke patients by EMS to a main hospital (Valiasr) in Arak City. Materials and Methods:This study was a descriptive analytic study and conducted on 43 patients with a diagnosis of stroke that transferred by EMS to Valiasr Hospital in Arak City. Data were collected through a checklist which contained information about age, sex, type of accident, response time, scene time, transfer time, and total time from inpatients records and Emergency Center statistics. Regarding data analysis, descriptive statistical tests were performed by SPSS 19. Results:The mean(SD) age of patients was 73.7(3.8) years and 51.2% of them were women. The stroke diagnosis by EMS technicians was correct in 15(34.9%) cases. In 20(46.5%) cases, the diagnosis was wrong and in 8(18.6%) cases, there were not any diagnosis. The most common non-stroke condition was confusion. The mean response time and arrival time to location, transfer time, and total time were 6.9, 16.9, 9.1, and 35.3 minutes, respectively. In patients with correct diagnosis and wrong or no diagnosis, these mean times were 7, 17.1, 3.9, and 35.7 minutes and 6.9, 16.8, 9.7, and 33.5 minutes, respectively. Conclusion:The results of this study showed that an accurate diagnosis by EMS technicians could be an indicator for faster transfer of the patient to treatment center. It is recommended that more appropriate pre-hospital diagnosis tools of stroke be developed and handed to EMS staff, for more accurate diagnosis of strokes and their better treatment.
