Abstract 140: Effects of Smoking Co-Morbidities and Obesity on NonHemorrhagic Stroke Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Smokers present with non-hemorrhagic stroke at a significantly younger age than non-smokers and die at much younger age during follow-up. While in our cohort smoking was not linked to other traditional risk factors for non-hemorrhagic stroke, it was associated with increased mortality in patients with decreased BMI, dyslipidemia, and with renal disease. "Protective" effect of increased BMI was not observed in smokers.

Abstract 202: Predictors of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
Conclusions: We identified several independent early predictors of PEG placement in ICH. Early identification of ICH patients who will require PEG placement could result in reduced resource utilization, quicker initiation of rehabilitation, shorter hospital length of stay, and reduction of preventable complications. Prospective studies are required to determine optimal patient selection and timing for PEG placement.

Abstract 204: Echocardiographic Evidence for Systemic Atherosclerosis, Atrial Fibrillation, and Long-Term Prognosis in Stroke Patients Session Title: Abstract Poster Session II
Conclusion: In patients with non-hemorrhagic stroke, cardiac and systemic evidence of atherosclerosis was strongly associated with atrial fibrillation and portended poor long-term prognosis. In stroke patients with cardiac and systemic evidence of atherosclerosis and rhythms other than atrial fibrillation, extended ECG monitoring may be warranted.

Abstract 101: Gender Has Differential Effects on Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke Outcomes Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Men with non-hemorrhagic stroke were more likely to have dyslipidemia and history of coronary artery disease. This, however, did not translate into increased mortality in younger men.Gender appears to have a differential effect on non-hemorrhagic stroke outcomes which warrants future investigation.

Abstract 105: Obesity Paradox in Patients with Non-Hemorrhagic Stroke: Increased Short-Term Survival with Decreased Longevity Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Obese patients present with non-hemorrhagic stroke at a younger age. Despite short term improved outcomes, obesity is not associated with improved overall longevity.

Validity of International Classification of Disease Codes to Identify Ischemic Stroke and Intracranial Hemorrhage Among Individuals With Associated Diagnosis of Atrial Fibrillation Original Articles
Conclusions— Using ICD-9 stroke and AF codes to identify patients with stroke plus AF resulted in inaccuracies. Given the expanded financial and policy implications of patient-oriented research, conclusions derived solely from administrative data without validation of outcome events should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract 238: Utilization and Safety of a Heparin Nomogram in Treating Thrombotic Comorbidities in Stroke Patients Poster Session II
CONCLUSION: The heparin stroke nomogram appears safe in that it does not increase risk of ICH. However, therapeutic aPTTs are not reached quickly with less than half of patients therapeutic at 24 hours, nor are they maintained at steady state. This nomogram could be too conservative in cases where clinical situation requires rapid anticoagulation.

Abstract 246: Reversible Cerebral Vasoconstriction Syndrome and Spontaneous Hemorrhage are the Most Common Causes of Peripartum Subarachnoid and Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Poster Session II
Conclusions: Etiologies in peripartum SAH and ICH differ from the general population. Aneurysmal bleeds were absent in our case series. Rates of SAH and ICH may be higher in patients who underwent cesarean section. In conclusion, peripartum subarachnoid and intracranial hemorrhages have a different pathophysiologic process than in the general population.
