A patient survives a stroke, starts rehab, and begins making progress. But what if their greatest risk isn't behind them? In this episode of Speech Talk, Emily and Eva dive into the often-overlooked topic of recurrent stroke. While many clinicians focus on recovery, research suggests the first 90 days after a stroke may carry a surprisingly high risk for another cerebrovascular event—and the way researchers define "stroke recurrence" dramatically changes the numbers. Join us as we unpack the article Underestimation of the Early Risk of Recurrent Stroke: Evidence of the Need for a Standard Definition and discuss what these findings mean for speech-language pathologists, rehabilitation professionals, and the patients we serve. Whether you work in a SNF, hospital, home health, or outpatient setting, this episode will leave you thinking differently about patient education and the critical role clinicians play during those first three months after stroke. Because sometimes the most important therapy conversation isn't about recovery—it's about preventing the next stroke.
