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.

Cost‐effectiveness of Quantitative Pretest Probability Intended to Reduce Unnecessary Medical Radiation Exposure in Emergency Department Patients With Chest Pain and Dyspnea
ConclusionsWidespread use of a combined qPTP for both ACS and PE has the potential to decrease costs by reducing diagnostic testing, while improving most long‐term outcomes in emergency patients with chest pain and dyspnea.

Does Emergency department length of stay affect the 90-day functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke? (P3.073)
Conclusion: In our cohort, there was no association between the ED-LOS and 90-day functional outcome. Further study is ongoing to assess whether ED-LOS adversely affects outcome measures not captured by the mRS.Disclosure: Dr. Patel has nothing to disclose. Dr. Minaeian has nothing to disclose.

Admission Hypomagnesemia Predicts Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage Volume (P3.093)
CONCLUSIONS: Hypomagnesemia was associated with higher admission ICH volumes in patients with lower ICH severity. While the study was limited by small numbers, a similar relationship between magnesium and ICH volume was not detected amongst patients with more severe ICH. Future studies are needed to determine if correction improves functional outcome in any targeted group of patients with ICH.Disclosure: Dr. Shiue has nothing to disclose.

Pineal Apoplexy With Cerebral Infarction (P1.033)
CONCLUSIONS:Although it appears that the infarcts were caused by the apoplexy due to their temporal progression, we conclude that pineal apoplexy was unlikely to cause the patient’s stroke and that the potential culprit of both events was a proximal source such as a cardiac or aortic thromboembolism.Disclosure: Dr. Truong has nothing to disclose.

Extensive Workup for Embolic Sources in Lacunar Strokes: Prevalence in an Academic Setting (P1.043)
CONCLUSIONS: Lacunar strokes represent a substantial fraction of the ischemic strokes admitted in this urban hospital setting. These patients typically receive extensive work-up for thromboembolic sources similar to that applied to large artery strokes. Examination of clinical features and outcomes of lacunar stroke, and of the clinical utility of the extensive imaging, is warranted to guide best clinical practices.Disclosure: Dr. Wang has nothing to disclose.

Iodinated Contrast Prior to Thrombolysis Was Not Associated With Worse Intracranial Hemorrhage
ConclusionsNo consistent harms were observed in association with intravenous iodinated contrast prior to rt‐PA administration. It is reasonable to continue CTA prior to thrombolysis as clinically indicated.

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.

Identification of Acute Stroke Using Quantified Brain Electrical Activity
ConclusionsDespite a small population and the use of a classifier without the benefit of training on a stroke population, these data suggest that a rapidly acquired, easy‐to‐use system to assess brain electrical activity at the time of evaluation of acute stroke could be a valuable adjunct to current clinical practice.

Safety of Novel Oral Anticoagulants Compared With Uninterrupted Warfarin for Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation.
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with warfarin, periprocedural anticoagulation with dabigatran resulted in fewer minor hemorrhages and total adverse events after AF ablation. Patients anticoagulated with NOACs required larger doses of heparin and took longer to reach the goal ACT compared with patients anticoagulated with warfarin.

Memory gaps in graduates a 'stroke warning sign'
Conclusion This study showed that highly educated people who notice memory complaints in themselves may be more likely to develop stroke than those who don’t, over an average of 12 years. The study had a number of strengths, such as its population-based prospective design and availability of data on more than 9,000 participants at baseline with a long follow-up. However, there were also a number of limitations that weaken the strength of the conclusions. It was not clear whether the memory complaints were assessed just once at the start of the study or an ongoing basis. Some people may report memory complaints that are o...

Gender Differences in Neurologic Emergencies Part I: A Consensus Summary and Research Agenda on Cerebrovascular Disease.
Abstract Cerebrovascular neurologic emergencies including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and migraine are leading causes of death and disability that are frequently diagnosed and treated in the emergency department (ED). Although sex and gender differences in neurologic emergencies are beginning to become clearer, there are many unanswered questions about how emergency physicians should incorporate sex and gender into their research initiatives, patient evaluations, and overall management plans for these conditions. After evaluating the existing gaps in the literature, a core group...
