Does Comprehensive Stroke Center Recommended Nurse Training Result in Earlier In-Hospital Stroke Recognition? (P2.324)
Conclusions:There was a delay in initiation of stroke alert in areas where staff did not receive extra training per CSC guidelines, though this did not reach significance due difference in sample size. Expanding the CSC training to all staff would benefit hospital-wide stroke alerts. More data is needed to confirm this.Disclosure: Dr. Gregath has nothing to disclose.

Patient behaviour at the time of stroke onset: a cross-sectional survey of patient response to stroke symptoms
Conclusions This study provides insights into patient response when a stroke occurs, with the presence and action of others highlighted as critical in fast response to stroke symptoms. Knowledge of stroke warning signs and risk factors was low among stroke survivors. Findings highlight the complexity of changing help-seeking behaviour during stroke onset, and provide directions for public education efforts to reduce prehospital delay.

Walk-in versus ems-prenotified stroke codes-time targets in a comprehensive stroke center (p1.271)
Conclusions:Walk-in strokes had significant delay in LKW to arrival, highlighting the need for community education in recognizing symptoms of stroke. People with larger strokes(higher NIHSS) tend to present via EMS. Significant delays in door to CT and stroke-code in walk-in strokes, demonstrates need for early stroke symptom recognition in the ER. EMS education and pre-notification improves likelihood of tPA administration.Disclosure: Dr. Kaur has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gudlavalleti has nothing to disclose.

Health professionals' knowledge of driving restrictions following stroke and TIA: experience from a hyperacute stroke centre
Conclusions Health professionals providing stroke care showed limited knowledge of FTD regulations after minor stroke or TIA. Imparting accurate information on driving restrictions is an important but neglected part of stroke management.

Factors Related to Knowledge of Stroke Symptoms and Risk Factors in a Norwegian Stroke Population
Conclusions: Knowledge of stroke symptoms and risk factors in patients with acute cerebrovascular disease seems to be insufficient. Further educational efforts are needed, as better knowledge may improve prevention of stroke and increase the number of patients who can receive thrombolysis.

Reducing Door-To-Needle Times for Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Quality Improvement Initiative at a High Volume Comprehensive Stroke Center (P4.309)
CONCLUSION: With multiple institution specific interventions it is possible to improve the DTN time even at a high volume non-academic center. One of the key component appears to be the in-house presence of a stroke neurologist 24hours /7days a week.Disclosure: Dr. Sapkota has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sirelkhatim has nothing to disclose.

Body Mass Index and Stroke Subtype in a Young Adult Stroke Population (P7.126)
CONCLUSIONS: In our group of young adult stroke patients, we found the highest BMI in the group with intracranial atherosclerosis. Although this group represented a small number of patients, this young adult population is at increased risk for future strokes. It is important to educate them on lifestyle modifications such as weight loss and exercise in addition to the treatment of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.Disclosure: Dr. Youn has nothing to disclose.

Determinants of early case‐fatality among stroke patients in Maputo, Mozambique and impact of in‐hospital complications
The burden of stroke is increasing in developing countries that struggle to manage it efficiently. We identified determinants of early case‐fatality among stroke patients in Maputo, Mozambique, to assess the impact of in‐hospital complications. Patients admitted to any hospital in Maputo with a new stroke event were prospectively registered (n = 651) according to the World Health Organization's STEPwise approach, in 2005–2006. We assessed the determinants of in‐hospital and 28‐day fatality, independently of age, gender and education, and computed population attributable fractions. In‐hospital mortality was ...

Socioeconomic Position and Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Denmark 2003-2012. A Nationwide Hospital-Based Study Stroke
Conclusions In Denmark, there is a strong relation between low socioeconomic position and risk for hospitalization for stroke. Lifestyle, as indicated by smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption, and diabetes appears to increase the risk for stroke in people with lower socioeconomic position.

Using Large-Scale Linkage Data to Evaluate the Effectiveness of a National Educational Program on Antithrombotic Prescribing and Associated Stroke Prevention in Primary Care Stroke
ConclusionsConsistent with NPS MedicineWise program messages for the high‐risk CVD population, the NPS MedicineWise Stroke Prevention Program (2009) was associated with increased initiation of aspirin and a reduced rate of hospitalization for primary stroke. The findings suggest that the provision of evidence‐based multifaceted large‐scale educational programs in primary care can be effective in changing prescriber behavior and positively impacting patient health outcomes.

Factors Associated with the Administration of Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that ambulance utilization is an important factor for improving the likelihood of t-PA administration in patients with stroke and may underline a need for educational programs to the general public that promote the use of ambulances for suspected stroke patients.
