Mitochondrial DNA Copy Number as a Marker and Mediator of Stroke Prognosis: Observational and Mendelian Randomization Analyses
CONCLUSIONS: Buffy coat mtDNA-CN is a novel and robust marker of post-stroke prognosis that may also be a causal determinant of post-stroke outcomes.CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides class II evidence that low buffy coat mtDNA-CN (>1-standard deviation) was associated with worse baseline severity and 1-month outcomes in patients with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.PMID:34880091 | DOI:10.1212/WNL.0000000000013165

Socioeconomic status and stroke severity: Understanding indirect effects via risk factors and stroke prevention using innovative statistical methods for mediation analysis
ConclusionAlmost one third of the association between low education and severe stroke was explained by risk factors, and clinical effort should be taken to reduce these risk factors to decrease stroke severity among those with low socioeconomic status.

E-132 A retrospective analysis of stroke code specificity in predicting acute ischemic events
ConclusionsThis retrospective analysis of stroke codes at MGUH during a 6-month period was 29% specific in predicting AIS. This is significantly lower than what was found in previous studies. Of stroke mimics, TME was the major etiology encompassing 43.6% of cases. The results of our study suggest additional stroke education may be needed for non-neurologists and ancillary staff to appropriately recognize stroke symptoms to better improve the utilization of hospital resources and provide appropriate and efficient care.Disclosures A.

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 1487: Eating Behaviors, Lifestyle, and Ischemic Stroke: A Lebanese Case-Control Study
Conclusions: Ischemic stroke patients were more likely to have disordered eating attitudes and orthorexic behaviors. Furthermore, the MeD has been found to be beneficial in reducing ischemic stroke risk. Despite the study’s focus, outdoor pollution, waterpipe dependence, and passive smoking were linked to ischemic stroke. In summary, this review suggests that improving one’s nutritional status and making a few lifestyle changes are key stroke prevention and treatment methods.

Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) utilisation by rural clinicians in acute ischaemic stroke: A survey of barriers and enablers.
CONCLUSIONS: To reduce barriers to rt-PA utilisation in rural facilities physicians require education on the calculated risk of ICH as well as exposure and experience to improve their ability to confidently diagnose stroke patients who are eligible for rt-PA treatment. Education for nurses on symptoms of stroke and rt-PA utilisation and administration is recommended. PMID: 24118148 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of first-ever mild stroke on participation at 3 and 6 month post-event: the TABASCO study.
Conclusions: Participants after mild ischemic stroke experienced cognitive and EF difficulties that affect their participation and QoL. Further studies are needed of mild stroke survivors to enhance our understanding of the variables that affect participation. Implications for Rehabilitation The findings of the current study have significant implications for the participation of people after mild stroke in the community. Health care systems in general and rehabilitation programs, in particular, do not consider that these clients need rehabilitation as most of them perform basic daily functions independently. Thus, although...

Sex differences in long-term outcomes among acute ischemic stroke patients with diabetes in China
Conclusions These findings suggest that it is crucial to establish the individual scheme of therapy for every patient by different risk factors of stroke, strengthen the rehabilitation of stroke, and carry on the health education early for the secondary prevention of stroke in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Association between socioeconomic status and prognosis after ischemic stroke in South China.
Conclusions: Patients with low income, family caregiver, and no insurance have a poorer prognosis after ischemic stroke that can be partly explained by intermediate variable in the patients' demographic characteristics, cardiovascular disease, behavior lifestyle, and stroke severity.

Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt‐PA) utilisation by rural clinicians in acute ischaemic stroke: A survey of barriers and enablers
ConclusionsTo reduce barriers to rt‐PA utilisation in rural facilities physicians require education on the calculated risk of ICH as well as exposure and experience to improve their ability to confidently diagnose stroke patients who are eligible for rt‐PA treatment. Education for nurses on symptoms of stroke and rt‐PA utilisation and administration is recommended.

The use of telemedicine in the management of acute stroke.
Abstract Cerebrovascular disease, including acute ischemic stroke, remains a major public health problem in the US and throughout the world. There has been a concerted effort to apply evidence-based practices to stroke care to improve primary and secondary prevention as well as poststroke outcomes. Geography and workforce shortages contribute to a disparity in stroke care, however, among the substantial proportion of the US population that lives outside the reach of an acute stroke-ready hospital or a primary or comprehensive stroke center. In an attempt to combat the rural-to-urban disparity and expand the availa...

Management of ischemic stroke in the hyperacute phase.
Authors: Devos D, Sevin M, De Gaalon S, Lintia-Gaultier A, Guillon B Abstract Over the last 15 years, advances in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) management have led to a significant reduction in the morbidity and mortality related to this serious disease. This has resulted from progress in imaging technology, increased access to imaging procedures, enhanced coordination in stroke care from emergency departments to rehabilitation centers, development of organized inpatient stroke units, and to the widespread use of acute thrombolysis. Once the diagnosis of AIS is confirmed by neuroimaging, the etiological work up is co...

A Survey on Knowledge of Stroke Subtypes and Etiology at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (P1.260)
Conclusions: HS is an under recognized part of stroke subtype at MTRH. Kenya has yet to develop specific national guidelines for HS management. The goal is to utilize the results from this survey to develop education and process improvement initiatives. We hope this will translate into improved care and outcomes for patients with stroke at MTRH.Disclosure: Dr. Lin has nothing to disclose. Dr. Guhwe has nothing to disclose.
