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.

Hormone therapy in postmenopausal women associated with risk of stroke and venous thromboembolism: a population-based cohort study in Taiwan
Conclusions: In postmenopausal Taiwanese women, HT may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Although the women in our population receiving HT were near menopausal age, their risk of cardiovascular disease was still higher than in the non-HT group.

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.

Bleeding as an Outcome Among Patients With Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation in a Large Managed Care Population.
CONCLUSIONS: Bleeding incidence among patients with NVAF in a real-world setting was high and increased with greater stroke and bleeding risk scores. Health care costs for patients with major bleeding events were elevated. All rights reserved. PMID: 24075151 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of CHA2DS2VASc Score on Candidacy for Anticoagulation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: A Multipayer Analysis.
Abstract PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to report on the effect of using CHA2DS2VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years [doubled], type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, stroke or transient ischemic attack or thromboembolism [doubled], vascular disease [prior myocardial infarction, peripheral artery disease, or aortic plaque], age 65-75 years, sex category [female]) rather than CHADS2 (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, and prior stroke) to determine candidacy for anticoagulant prophylaxis in insured patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).

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.

Risk of early mortality and cardiovascular disease according to the presence of recently diagnosed diabetes and requirement for insulin treatment: A nationwide study
ConclusionsRecently diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients showed increased risks of incident CVDs and premature mortality, and insulin ‐treated group demonstrated an additional increase in the risks of these outcomes in adults with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes, suggesting the need for intensified cardio‐protective interventions for adults with insulin‐treated type 2 diabetes.

Effect of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation on Morbidity and Mortality: A Nationwide Cohort Study and Propensity Score Analysis Original Articles
Conclusions— RFA did not reduce mortality or hospitalization for HF during the immediate 3.5-year follow-up. Although a beneficial effect on stroke prevention associated with RFA was suggested, residual confounding attributable to unmeasured factors remains a concern.

Risk analysis of carotid stent from a population-based database in Taiwan
Abstract: Because stroke is the third leading disease that causes mortality in the world, the prevention of stroke from advanced carotid stenosis is an important issue. The carotid stent (CAS) is a less invasive to treat advanced carotid stenosis, but for high-risk patients it may cause some events after the procedure that reduces the benefit of stroke prevention. Because patients and their families have less information about risk of events after CAS and are easy concerned, this study calculates the individual probability of major adverse cardiovascular events including any stroke, myocardial infarction, or death after pr...
