  • An International Standard Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures After Stroke
    Original Contribution An International Standard Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures After Stroke Joel Salinas, MD, MBA; Sara M. Sprinkhuizen, PhD, MSc; Teri Ackerson, SCRN, BSN; Julie Bernhardt, PT, PhD; Charlie Davie, MD; Mary G. George, MD, MSPH; Stephanie Gething, Dip COT, MSc; Adam G.

Smith, MD, MPH; Linda S. Williams, MD; Lee H. Schwamm, MD Background and Purpose—Value-based health care aims to bring together patients and health systems to maximize the ratio of quality over cost. To enable assessment of healthcare value in stroke management, an international standard set of patient-centered stroke outcome measures was defined for use in a variety of healthcare settings. Methods—A modified Delphi process was implemented with an international expert panel representing patients, advocates, and clinical specialists in stroke outcomes, stroke registers, global health, epidemiology, and rehabilitation to reach consensus on the preferred outcome measures, included populations, and baseline risk adjustment variables. Results—Patients presenting to a hospital with ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage were selected as the target population for these recommendations, with the inclusion of transient ischemic attacks optional. Outcome categories recommended for assessment were survival and disease control, acute complications, and patient-reported outcomes. Patient-reported outcomes proposed for assessment at 90 days were pain, mood, feeding, selfcare, mobility, communication, cognitive functioning, social participation, ability to return to usual activities, and health-related quality of life, with mobility, feeding, selfcare, and communication also collected at discharge.

  • Factors Associated with New-Onset Depression After Stroke
    ARTICLES Factors Associated With New-Onset Depression After Stroke Joel Salinas, M.D., M.B.A., Alexa Beiser, Ph.D., Jayandra J. Himali, Ph.D., Jonathan Rosand, M.D., M.Sc., Sudha Seshadri, M.D., Erin C. Dunn, Sc.D., M.P.H. To better identify stroke survivors at risk for depression who may benefit from early prevention through targeted strategies in the acute-subacute poststroke period, we examined 118 Framingham Heart Study stroke survivors with longitudinal prestroke depression assessments. Among those who developed poststroke depression, most lacked a history of depressive symptoms 5 years prior to their stroke. Sex (female), advanced age, and prestroke factors (smoking and functional dependence) were associated with new-onset depression poststroke. These findings suggest fully characterizing and accounting for prestroke factors, including psychosocial and behavioral determinants, may inform the predictive modeling needed to determine whether targeted preventive trials early in stroke recovery will improve stroke outcomes. J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci 2016; 28:286–291; doi: 10.1176/appi.neuropsych.15110388 Poststroke depression has been increasingly recognized as of risk factors for depression unique to stroke. Using the one of the most important consequences of stroke, as de- combination of prestroke factors and cases of new-onset – pression is common and often recurrent,1 3 associated with depression poststroke may help identify those cases where poor outcomes,4 costly,5,6 and difficult to treat given cur- an early empiric antidepressant after stroke or a behavioral rently available treatments.7 The impact of poststroke de- intervention may prevent the development of poststroke pression is perhaps most pronounced as a barrier to recovery depression.14 Candidate risk and protective factors linked to of functional status,8 independence,9 and long term survival poststroke depression have been proposed, though extant – after hospital discharge.10 12 Although antidepressants are studies are limited in three primary ways.

    OCTOBER 23, 2015 BOSTON HARBOR HOTEL A Night with the Arts for FTD Walk on the Dark Side by Sybil Sermos Inaugural Gala & Art Show to benefit The Frontotemporal Disorders Unit Massachusetts General Hospital www.ftd-boston.org [email protected] From To Care Cure Photography by Joshua Touster Welcome from Brad Dickerson, MD October 23, 2015 I am delighted to welcome you to the first MGH FTD Unit Gala, “A Night With the Arts for FTD.” We are inspired tonight by Kemon and Sybil Sermos and others like them who continue to strive to maintain art as a central force in their lives – and as a magnet to galvanize our community – despite the challenges posed by FTD and related brain disorders. In addition to the inspiration we will enjoy from joining together for this special evening, we hope that tonight will help raise funds for new and expanding initiatives in our programs of FTD Care Today and FTD Research for a Cure. The first prong of our work focuses on trying to provide the best FTD Care Today. We feel good about what is being done now, but we always strive to expand and improve. We are delighted that Katie Brandt officially joined our team in summer 2015 as a Community Resource Specialist and look forward to her efforts to develop more training courses, support resources, and other connections to services in the community that can help provide essential physical and psychological lifelines to patients and families living with these conditions today. Aphasia therapy, music therapy, and specialized patient/caregiver support groups are only some of the new initiatives we are planning to launch with seed funds from events like this one.

  • Night with the Arts for FTD
    OCTOBER 21, 2016 ROYAL SONESTA HOTEL A Night with the Arts for FTD 2016 Gala & Art Show to benefit The Frontotemporal Disorders Unit Massachusetts General Hospital From To Care Cure Photography by Joshua Touster Welcome from Governor Charles Baker October 2016 Dear Friends: On behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I welcome you to the Second Annual “A Night with the Arts for FTD” Gala. Since 2007, the Massachusetts General Hospital Frontotemporal Disorders Unit (FTD) has cared for over 400 patients suffering from terrible diseases like Alzheimer’s, Primary Progressive Aphasia and ALS-FTD. As someone who has experienced the impact Alzheimer’s has on a family, I applaud the FTD Unit for its efforts to not just diagnose and treat frontotemporal disorders, but to help patients and their families every step of the way. Tonight’s gala, “A Night with the Arts for FTD” will showcase many talented artists and hold live auctions to raise thousands to help fund the unit, as it strives to provide the highest quality of care for patients while working towards a cure. I’d like to thank Massachusetts General Hospital and the FTD unit for its dedication to the patients and families touched by these disorders. Please accept my best wishes for a successful gala. Sincerely, CHARLES D. BAKER GOVERNOR Welcome from Brad Dickerson, MD October 21, 2016 I am delighted to welcome you to the second annual MGH FTD Unit Gala, “A Night with the Arts for FTD.” We are inspired tonight by Kemon and Sybil Sermos, Dennis White and family, and others like them who strive to maintain art and music as a central force in their lives – and as a magnet to galvanize our community – despite the challenges posed by FTD and related brain disorders.
