Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at admission is a risk factor for in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy: A case control study
Gastrointestinal bleeding is a clinically important complication in acute ischemic stroke patients after dual antiplatelet therapy. The present study was to explore the association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and in-hospital gastrointestinal bleeding in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients who had received dual antiplatelet therapy.

Gender gap in stroke treatment likely due to delay by women seeking care
Women with clot-caused strokes are less likely than men to arrive at the hospital in time to receive the best treatment, according to a European study reported in the American Heart Association journal Stroke. In the study, 11 percent of women with acute ischemic strokes were treated with the clot-dissolving medication alteplase, compared with 14 percent of men. Study participants included 5,515 patients at 12 hospitals in the Netherlands...

Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke: Utilization Variances and Impact of Procedural Volume on Inpatient Mortality
This study examines variances in the allocation of these procedures in the United States at the hospital level. We investigate operative volume across centers performing mechanical revascularization and establish that procedural volume is independently associated with inpatient mortality.Methods: Data was collected using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database in the United States for 2008. Medical centers performing mechanical thrombectomy were identified using International Classification of Diseases, 9th revision codes, and procedural volumes were evaluated according to hospital size, location, control/ownership, geogr...

Adenosine Diphosphate–Induced Platelet Aggregation Might Contribute to Poor Outcomes in Atrial Fibrillation–Related Ischemic Stroke
Systemic atherosclerosis is involved in ischemic damages and cardioembolism after atrial fibrillation (AF)–related ischemic stroke (IS). Platelet activation is a critical factor in systemic atherosclerosis; however, there is little information regarding the role of platelet activation on the outcome of AF-related IS. We investigated the relationship between adenosine diphosphate (ADP)–induced platelet aggregation and the long-term outcomes of AF-related IS. We studied 249 patients who were exclusively treated with anticoagulation therapy after they had experienced AF-related IS. We evaluated their platelet function 5 ...

The disappearing thrombus: An uncommon cause of ischemic stroke
A 46-year-old woman presented with 2 episodes of transient left-sided paresis and hypoesthesia lasting 30 minutes. The emergency department initiated a stroke code due to reoccurrence of symptoms. Workup revealed a platelet count of 1,141,000, and CT angiography showed a large pedunculated thrombus within the right internal carotid artery (figure 1). She underwent emergent plateletpheresis without an anticoagulant (unfractionated heparin, low molecular weight heparin). This was not started at the time of initial presentation because of increased bleeding risk in patients with either reactive or essential thrombocythemia.1 ...

Head Position in the Early Phase of Acute Ischemic Stroke: An International Survey of Current Practice
Evidence to recommend a specific head position for patients in the early phase of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is scarce. The aim of this study was to assess current head position practice for AIS patients among physicians from hospitals in different countries.

Implementation of a Community-Based Triage for Patients with Suspected Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke Study: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study
Japan has the highest number of magnetic resonance imaging units in the world, and citizens can freely choose medical care at any hospital or clinic. We aimed to investigate the triage of patients with suspected transient ischemic attack (TIA) or minor stroke in this unique Japanese healthcare system.

Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio Predicts Length of Stay and Acute Hospital Cost in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Although several risk factors for prolonged length of stay (LOS) and increased hospital cost have been identified, the association between LOS, hospital cost, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has not yet been investigated. We aimed to investigate the influence of NLR on LOS and hospital cost in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Cutting the Prehospital On-Scene Time of Stroke Thrombolysis in Helsinki Brief Report
Background and Purpose—Significant portion of the prehospital delay consists of minutes spent on the scene with the patient. We implemented a training program for the emergency medical services personnel with the aim to optimize the on-scene time (OST) and to study the impact of different elements of prehospital practice to the OST duration.Methods—In this prospective interventional study, key operational emergency medical service performance variables were analyzed from all thrombolysis candidates transported to the Helsinki University Hospital emergency department. The catchment period was 4 months before and 4 month...

Clinical outome of weekend and nighttime admitted patients due to acute ischemic stroke
【Background and Purpose】Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) requires urgent diagnosis and subsequent treatment including thrombolytic or neuroendovascular revascularization (tNER). AIS is time-sensitive and weekend and nighttime admission (ENtime) may be associated with poor clinical outcome because of therapeutic delay. The aim of our study was to investigate diferrences in any in-hospital mortality and clinical outcome between ENtime and weekday daytime (DDtime) admitted patients due to AIS.
