... and rehabilitation are prominent [ 6 ]. However, a major concern is poor long-term follow-up with respect to problems in activities of daily living (ADL), an important determinant for social reintegration [ 7 ]. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review is [ 1 ] to determine the course of ADL in the period...

..., stroke is often unrecognized during initial emergency calls. Stroke screening tools such as the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale have been shown to improve on-scene stroke recognition and thus have been proposed as a means to improve dispatcher accuracy. We conducted a systematic review...

... and profile are unclear. We therefore performed a systematic review on cognitive impairment after TIA. Summary: Medline and Embase were searched for relevant studies. Risk of bias was assessed, and data synthesis was performed according to the severity of cognitive impairment. Thirteen studies were included...
