A rare cause of stroke in young: PHACE syndrome (P1.253)
Conclusions:Neurocutaneous syndromes are typically diagnosed in childhood and can be a rare cause of stroke in young. Our patient suffered an ischemic stroke secondary to sequelae of undiagnosed PHACE syndrome. Early identification of neurocutaneous syndromes allows for proper surveillance, evaluation, and preventative education for development of complications.Disclosure: Dr. Fitzgerald has nothing to disclose.

Thrombolytic utilization for ischemic stroke in US hospitals with neurology residency program
Conclusions: Acute stroke care in NR hospitals is associated with an increased thrombolytic utilization. The disparities between the thrombolysis rate in NR and that in OT and NT hospitals are greater among elderly patients.

NIHSS Score May Help Predict Health Literacy Levels after Acute Ischemic Stroke (P7.158)
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that there may be an association between the NIHSS score and HL levels in patients hospitalized with AIS. Additional studies incorporating a larger number of patients are warranted to discern if this is a true association. Patient NIHSS score might be a factor healthcare professionals can utilize to help identify hospitalized AIS patients who require intensive stroke risk reduction education.Study Supported by:University of Florida COM - Jacksonville Dean's GrantDisclosure: Dr. Sanders has received personal compensation for activities with Biogen Idec.

Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the REGARDS Study (P7.138)
CONCLUSIONS:Our study of unselected US hospitals showed low tPA utilization. Documented reasons for non-use were suboptimal with the lowest among patients not evaluated by a stroke team. Our sample was not limited to hospitals participating in national quality improvement programs, thus increasing generalizability. Strategies that focus on earlier hospital arrival and educating both the public and healthcare field to increase tPA utilization are urgently needed.Disclosure: Dr. Sands has nothing to disclose.

Translation of the ‘time is brain’ concept into clinical practice: Focus on prehospital stroke management
Acute stroke is one of the main causes of death and chronic disability. Thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator within the first hours after onset of symptoms is an effective therapeutic option for ischemic stroke. However, fewer than 2% to 7% of patients receive this treatment, primarily because most patients reach the hospital too late for the initiation of successful therapy. Several measures can reduce detrimental delay until treatment. It is of importance to use continual public awareness campaigns to reduce delays in patients' alarm of emergency medical services. Further relevant measures are repet...

Aspirin plus clopidogrel in acute minor ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack is superior to aspirin alone for stroke risk reduction: CHANCE trial
Commentary on: Wang Y, Wang Y, Zhao X, et al.. Clopidogrel with aspirin in acute minor stroke or transient ischemic attack. N Engl J Med 2013;369:11–19. Context Combination therapy with aspirin added to clopidogrel has had a disappointing record in the prevention of recurrent stroke. The management of atherothrombosis with clopidogrel in high-risk patients (MATCH)1 and the secondary prevention of small subcortical strokes (SPS3)2 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) showed that combination therapy was not more effective than clopidogrel or aspirin alone, but was associated with two to three times the risk of major or ...

Impact of living and socioeconomic characteristics on cardiovascular risk in ischemic stroke patients

Earlier thrombolytic treatment is associated with better outcomes following acute ischaemic stroke
Commentary on Saver JL, Fonarow GC, Smith EE, et al.. Time to treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and outcome from acute ischaemic stroke, JAMA 2013;309:2480–8. Implications for practice and research Optimisation is necessary in public education and hospital triage of the identification of factors such as arrival by ambulance and the importance of requesting emergency medical services (EMS) at scene of the stroke occurrence.1 The results of previous studies suggest that a disparity, observed between hospital-based outcomes for admissions that presented during regular hours and off hours, is not se...

Multidisciplinar Team Ability to Decrease Door-To-Needle Time in Acute Ischemic Stroke - A Single Center Saudi Experience (P6.053)
Conclusions: Implementation of modified stroke code process utilizing quality improvement paradigm of PDSA cycles have resulted in significant decrease in door-to-needle time for IV thrombolysis. Although, the target DTN of 60 minutes was not reached, the trend is favorable with improved outcomes.

The Impact of Nurse Staffing on In-Hospital Mortality of Stroke Patients in Korea
Conclusion: Policies to educate sufficient numbers of nurses and retain them in the field are warranted, especially because medical-cost containment has become a dominant concern in most countries. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanisms and other protective roles of nurse staffing to ensure long-term health outcomes after hospital discharge.

Can We Learn from Our Children About stroke? Effectiveness of a School-Based Educational Programme in Greece
Stroke is the second most common cause of death worldwide and the leading cause of chronic functional limitations.1 Without appropriate and timely care between the stroke symptom appearance and the treatment in acute stroke incidents, the ischemic brain ages 3.6 years for every hour of blood deprivation.2 Yet patients repeatedly arrive late to the hospital.3,4 The lack of public awareness about stroke symptoms has been reported in the literature as one of the main factors, causing this belated arrival to the hospital and hence the belated medical treatment.

Why Ischemic Stroke Patients Do Not Receive Thrombolytic Treatment? (P7.122)
CONCLUSIONS:This retrospective analysis suggests that less than half of the patients presenting within 4 hours of symptom onset receive rt-PA. The most common reason was minor or rapidly improving symptoms. A significant proportion of patients did not receive rt-PA because patient or family refused. Minority of patients had absolute contraindication. More patient and family education is needed to allay fears of rt-PA use.Disclosure: Dr. Lee has nothing to disclose.
