Study‐specific unadjusted and adjusted RRs, controlling for confounding variables, were pooled using random‐effects meta‐analysis. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale data were recorded in 5326 (96%) of 5570 cases with ischemic stroke and 773 (90%) of 855 participants with intracerebral hemorrhage. The pooled unadjusted female:male RR for severe ischemic stroke was 1.35 (95% CI 1.24–1.46). The sex difference in severity was attenuated after adjustment for age, pre‐stroke dependency, and atrial fibrillation but remained statistically significant (pooled RRadjusted 1.20, 95% CI 1.10–1.30). There was no sex difference in severity for intracerebral hemorrhage (RRcrude 1.08, 95% CI 0.97–1.21; RRadjusted 1.08, 95% CI 0.96–1.20). Conclusions: Although women presented with more severe ischemic stroke than men, much although not all of the difference was explained by pre‐stroke factors. Sex differences could potentially be ameliorated by strategies to improve pre‐stroke health in the elderly, the majority of whom are women. Further research on the potential biological origin of sex differences in stroke severity may also be warranted.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 13:58:46 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37899 Thu 17 Jun 2021 15:24:15 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8171 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:36:05 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7888 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:35:10 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21854 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:59:10 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43639 Mon 26 Sep 2022 16:36:52 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46393 p = .01), 21 minutes more walking (95%CI 2,22 p = .02) and completed 1112 additional steps/day (95%CI 268,1956 p = .01), compared to the first week home. No factors predicted change in activity. At 3 months, greater depression (β 22 mins (95%CI 8,36) p = .004) and slower gait speed (β − 43 mins 95%CI −59,-27 p ≤ 0.001) were associated with more sedentary time and less walking activity, respectively. Conclusions: Sedentary time reduced and walking activity increased between discharge home and 3 months later. Interventions targeting mood and physical function may warrant testing to reduce sedentary behavior 3 months following discharge.]]> Mon 21 Nov 2022 14:45:55 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45704 Fri 04 Nov 2022 08:49:08 AEDT ]]>
