Abstract Background: Stroke remains a major public health burden in China, and the complexity of long-term pharmacotherapy often places stroke survivors at high risk for drug-related problems (DRPs). This study aimed to identify determinants of DRPs among community-dwelling stroke patients in suburban Beijing and to propose targeted initiatives for improving rational drug use. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2022 to December 2024 among 481 stroke patients.

Abstract Background: Stroke is a major contributor to disability and death worldwide. Studies have demonstrated that inflammasome/pyroptosis and its mediated inflammatory response are important factors aggravating brain injury after stroke. We aimed to investigate and map the knowledge structure and global trends on inflam- masome/pyroptosis in stroke. Methods: All relevant documents were obtained from the Web of Science on 5 June 2023.
