Stroke during sleep and obstructive sleep apnea: there is a link
ConclusionOSA is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke during sleep. Health care providers must be vigilant in inquiring about symptoms suggestive of OSA in every ischemic stroke patient, especially the patient whose stroke occurred during sleep.

Photoplythesmographic Signal to Screen Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Acute Stroke Patients: Feasibility of a Prospective Clinical Pathway (P1.181)
Conclusions: Screening hospitalized patients admitted for acute stroke with a positive questionnaire and inpatient plythesmography may identify a cohort of patients with high prevalence SDB. Our screening strategy hypothesizes that inpatient ODI can be a potentially cost-effective method for early recognition of SDB in acute stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Lim-Hing has nothing to disclose.

A Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Patients Undergoing Intensive Inpatient Rehabilitation after Acute Stroke (P3.308)
Conclusions: A sham-controlled CPAP trial among stroke rehabilitation patients is feasible and treatment with CPAP may benefit recovery, especially of cognitive function. Tolerance and adherence must be improved before the full benefits of CPAP on functional recovery can be accurately assessed in larger trials.Disclosure: Dr. Khot has received research support from Philips Respironics.

Simplifying the Diagnosis of Sleep Apnea after Stroke: Evaluation of Five Simple Screening Tools (S53.007)
CONCLUSIONS: Our preliminary results suggest that the 4V may be a useful tool to screen for OSA within 90 days after stroke. This tool may assist in determining which patients would most benefit from further evaluation and treatment for OSA early after stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Frakul has nothing to disclose.

Observational Study of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Wake-Up Stroke: The SLEEP TIGHT Study
Conclusions: WUS may be associated with severe OSA with more oxygen desaturation in men but not in women. WUS may be associated with high DBP and increased LDL cholesterol.Cerebrovasc Dis 2016;41:233-241

Stroke Epidemiology and Risk Factor Management
This article reviews the current recommendations for the management of each of these modifiable risk factors. Recent Findings: It has been documented that some blood pressure medications may increase variability of blood pressure and ultimately increase the risk for stroke. Stroke prevention typically includes antiplatelet therapy (unless an indication for anticoagulation exists), so the most recent evidence supporting use of these drugs is reviewed. In addition, emerging risk factors, such as obstructive sleep apnea, electronic cigarettes, and elevated lipoprotein (a), are discussed. Summary: Overall, secondary stroke p...

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and its relationship with ischaemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between OSAS and ischaemic stroke is evident. The advance in the identification of molecular markers and low-cost studies for the identification of OSAS will allow implementing strategies to reduce their consequences in cardiovascular diseases, mainly in ischaemic stroke.

Sleep Apnea in Acute Stroke (P02.032)
CONCLUSIONS: There is a high prevalence of sleep apnea in the patients with acute stroke. Having inpatient screening of these stroke patients might help capture more patients early and start treatment for sleep apnea to control one of the important modifiable risk factor of strokes.

OSA Is Under-Reported In Patients Admitted With Acute Stroke (P5.280)
CONCLUSION: The prevalence of OSA as a secondary diagnosis of those admitted with stroke was less than 1/3 that which would be predicted based on community prevalence. Since OSA is felt to be a risk factor for stroke, better detection of OSA in patients admitted for stroke is needed.Disclosure: Dr. Shorten has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Unit Evaluation of Sleep Apnea: Validity of Screening Tools and Use of a Portable Sleep Study (P6.011)
Conclusions: The STOP-BANG questionnaire, administered to hospitalized stroke patients, had high sensitivity and low-moderate specificity, compared to two other commonly used screening tools. The feasibility of using an unattended inpatient portable sleep study on stroke patients is demonstrated.Disclosure: Dr. Aparicio has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sturzoiu has nothing to disclose.

Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and neuropsychological function in pediatric stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of OSAS in children with AIS compared to healthy controls is significantly elevated and is associated with poor neuropsychological outcomes. We highlight the importance of regular screening for OSAS - a modifiable risk factor - in children with AIS. The specific risk factors for OSAS and the potential benefits of therapeutic interventions in this patient population warrant further investigation. PMID: 31787553 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Obstructive sleep apnea is independently associated with arterial stiffness in ischemic stroke patients
Abstract Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a predictor of all-cause mortality and recurrent vascular events following stroke. However, few studies have investigated the pathophysiology of OSA in ischemic stroke patients. Whether OSA independently increases arterial stiffness in ischemic stroke patients is determined by measuring the carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) and via the central augmentation index (AIx). This cross-sectional study consecutively recruited 127 subacute ischemic stroke patients who were admitted to a teaching hospital for inpatient rehabilitation (median age, 61.3 years; IQR 53.6–7...
