Abstract 140: Effects of Smoking Co-Morbidities and Obesity on NonHemorrhagic Stroke Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Smokers present with non-hemorrhagic stroke at a significantly younger age than non-smokers and die at much younger age during follow-up. While in our cohort smoking was not linked to other traditional risk factors for non-hemorrhagic stroke, it was associated with increased mortality in patients with decreased BMI, dyslipidemia, and with renal disease. "Protective" effect of increased BMI was not observed in smokers.

Abstract 101: Gender Has Differential Effects on Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Men with non-hemorrhagic stroke were more likely to have dyslipidemia and history of coronary artery disease. This, however, did not translate into increased mortality in younger men.Gender appears to have a differential effect on non-hemorrhagic stroke outcomes which warrants future investigation.

Abstract 63: The Smoking Paradox in Patients Hospitalized with Coronary Artery Disease: Findings from Get With The Guidelines - CAD Poster Session I
Conclusion: Smoking continues to be a major risk factor for presenting with CAD at a much younger age and with fewer risk factors. It is likely that the continued modest association with lower in-hospital mortality in smokers in this analysis after adjustment reflects residual or unmeasured confounding. This apparent smoker’s paradox in CAD should not be interpreted as a benefit of cigarette smoking.
