Clean air for Brain Heath; ongoing agenda of 2018 World Brain Day
The latest estimate of attributable deaths to pollution worldwide is extraordinary: 9 million deaths annually [2]. Deaths are related to cardiovascular disorders (myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and stroke), lung diseases and cancers. The recent Global Burden of Disease study, based on 1990 –2013 data from 188 countries demonstrated that air pollution contributes to 29.2% of the global burden of stroke. However the burden varies between 10% in high-income countries and 34% in low- and middle-income countries [3].

Predictive Risk Factors of In-Hospital Mortality Following Acute Stroke in the United States: Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Database, 2006-2010 (P02.015)
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of in-hospital mortality is relatively high following acute stroke (8.42%). We identified multiple risk factors of in-hospital mortality in acute stroke patients. The strongest risk factor is the type stroke (hemorrhagic). The present finding suggests that patients at increased risk of mortality can be identified and additional treatment for prevention might be warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Naderi has nothing to disclose.
