Treatment Patterns and Outcomes of Patients Receiving Direct Oral Anticoagulants or Low Molecular Weight Heparin who Experienced Life-threatening Intracranial Hemorrhage (P5.053)
Conclusions:This study provides a real-world picture of patients receiving FXa inhibitors or LMWH, experiencing life-threatening intracranial bleeds. Despite efforts to restore hemostasis, mortality remained high and substantial healthcare resources were expended. This highlights the need to develop specific strategies for management of ICH in this patient population.Study Supported by: Portola Pharmaceuticals, Inc.Disclosure: Dr. Milling has received personal compensation for activities with CSI Behring, Janssen, BI, and Portola.

The Impact on Radiology Utilization of Disseminating an Analysis on the Value of Neuroimaging Studies in Intracerebral Hemorrhage: The University Hospitals Case Medical Center Comprehensive Stroke Center Experience (P5.145)
CONCLUSIONS: Disseminating the findings of our prior analysis regarding the use of neuroimaging studies for patients with ICH at our institution led to a significant reduction in resource case use for CT and MRI. Neuroimaging resource utilization, fostered by the availability of sophisticated neuroimaging, EMR standard order sets, and clinical trials protocols is an important area for research on the value of our health care. Healthcare value analyses should be driven by medical decision making, patient outcomes and risk then extend to resource utilization and cost.Study Supported by:NADisclosure: Dr. Shams has nothing to ...
