Subtotal Gastrectomy With Billroth II Anastomosis Is Associated With a Low Risk of Ischemic Stroke in Peptic Ulcer Disease Patients: A Nationwide Population-Based Study
Abstract: Duodenal diversion can ameliorate lipid and glucose metabolism. We assessed the risk of stroke after subtotal gastrectomy with Billroth II anastomosis (SGBIIA) in peptic ulcer disease (PUD). We identified 6425 patients who received SGBIIA for PUD between 1998 and 2010 from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database as the study cohort; we frequency-matched them with 25,602 randomly selected controls from the PUD population who did not receive SGBIIA according to age, sex, index year, and comorbidities including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, congestive heart...

Factors Associated With Length of Hospitalization in Patients Admitted With Transient Ischemic Attack in United States Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Approximately 75% of patients admitted with transient ischemic attack stay in the hospital for ≥2 days, with the most important determinants being pre-existing medical comorbidities. Longer duration of hospital stay is associated with 2- to 5-fold greater hospitalization charges.

Increased Risk of First-Ever Stroke in Younger Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Not Recommended for Antithrombotic Therapy by Current Guidelines: A Population-Based Study in an East Asian Cohort of 22 Million People
To assess the risk of first-ever ischemic stroke in younger patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have none of the CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke/transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, sex category [female sex]) risk factors (excluding female sex) by using the National Health Insurance research database in Taiwan.

Post-traumatic stress disorder was associated with a threefold increased risk for stroke in a Taiwanese National Health Insurance Database
People with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more likely to have psychiatric comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia.1 ,2 While stroke can trigger PTSD,3 prior to this study it was not known whether PTSD increases the risk for stroke.

The Association Between Peptic Ulcer Disease and Ischemic Stroke: A Population-Based Longitudinal Study
Abstract: Stroke is a common cause of death worldwide, but about 30% of ischemic stroke (IS) patients have no identifiable contributing risk factors. Because peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and vascular events share some common risk factors, we conducted a population-based study to evaluate the association between PUD and IS. We followed up a representative sample of 1 million residents of Taiwan using the National Health Insurance Research Database from 1997 to 2011. We defined patients who received medications for PUD and had related diagnosis codes as the PUD group, and a reference group matched by age and sex was sampled f...

Patient ‐related characteristics associated with non‐persistence with statin therapy in elderly patients following an ischemic stroke
ConclusionsOur findings suggest that patients aged ≥75 years or those with the presence of diabetes mellitus, dementia, hypercholesterolemia or polypharmacy were likely to be persistent with statin therapy, whereas those with anxiety disorders may need greater assistance with persistence of statin therapy.

Utilization of Hospice Care and Patient Characteristics Associated With Discharge to Hospice in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients (P6.263)
Conclusions:The rates of discharge to hospice following AIS have substantially grown in the past decade and at our institution 4.2% were discharged to hospice. These patients were older, had higher median NIHSS and more often had altered level of consciousness upon presentation. Large, multicenter studies are needed to address the variation in the rates of hospice care across the United States.Disclosure: Dr. Vuong has nothing to disclose. Dr. Ali has nothing to disclose.

Should Atrial Fibrillation Patients With 1 Additional Risk Factor of the CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score (Beyond Sex) Receive Oral Anticoagulation?
ConclusionsNot all risk factors in CHA2DS2-VASc score carry an equal risk, with age 65 to 74 years associated with the highest stroke rate. Oral anticoagulation should be considered for AF patients with 1 additional stroke risk factor given their high risk of ischemic stroke.

PPAR agonists for the treatment of cardiovascular disease in patients with Diabetes
Conclusions: According to this study, Pioglitazone treatment in type 2 diabetes patients and hypersensitive Ischemic stroke patients is linked to minor ischemic stroke which is recurrent in Asian people. Pioglitazone and the telmisartan treatment have an increasing pleiotropic effect related to the higher PPAR- gamma effects. Further research needs to be conducted with the PPAR mechanism ' s details to confirm the PPAR effect on Ischemic stroke treatment. [Ethiop. J. Health Dev. 2021; 35(3): 249-257]Keywords: PPAR agonist, Dyslipidaemia, Thiazolidinediones, Type 2 diabetes, Pioglitazone, PPAR-alpha, PPAR-gamma, Insulin resistance, Alecardio.

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and cardiovascular risks in patients with pre-existing heart failure
Conclusions In this nationwide T2DM cohort, the risks of mortality and the combination of MI and ischaemic stroke were lower for patients receiving DPP-4 inhibitors than for those who did not receive such treatment. DPP-4 inhibitor use was not associated with a higher risk of hospitalisation for HF even in patients with pre-existing HF.
