Big data trends in stroke epidemiology in the United States: But are they good data?
Based on prior epidemiologic studies in the United States, approximately 80% of first-time strokes can be explained by modifiable risk factors such as hypertension, and therefore optimal control or elimination of known risk factors might prevent these strokes.1 Campaigns such as the American Heart Association (AHA) initiative, Life's Simple 7, have set ambitious goals for optimal cardiovascular and stroke risk factor control; in addition, a wealth of online resources are available for an increasingly health-conscious society.2 There are indeed some glimmers of hope. Efforts to prevent stroke, in large part from emphasis on...

Older Age, Hypertension and Diabetes Influence the Proportion of Salvageable Ischemic Tissue Following Ischemic Stroke (P02.048)
CONCLUSIONS: Older patients and those with HTN or DM are less likely to have a large proportion of salvageable penumbra. While endothelial dysfunction may be a common denominator to these risk factors, the biological mechanisms underlying this phenomenon need to be elucidated.Disclosure: Dr. Mohamed has nothing to disclose.

Cervical artery dissection in patients >=60 years: Often painless, few mechanical triggers
Conclusion: In our study population of patients diagnosed with CeAD, 1 in 14 was aged ≥60 years. In these patients, pain and mechanical triggers might be missing, rendering the diagnosis more challenging and increasing the risk of missed CeAD diagnosis in older patients.

Characteristics of patients presenting within the first 6 hours compared to historical controls (P4.274)
Conclusions:Older age and diabetes were frequent risk factors in t-PA group vs non t-PA group, while other risk factors including hyperlipidemia and previous TIA were frequent in non t-PA group. Gender, nationality and mortality rate were similar. Further data required to establish an evidence regarding patients’ factors influencing t-PA practice.Disclosure: Dr. Khoja has nothing to disclose. Dr. Alshaer has nothing to disclose.

Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Patients with Mild or Rapidly Improving Ischemic Strokes and Large Vessel Occlusions: Examining In-hospital Outcomes (P4.277)
Conclusions:Our study suggests that tPA in mild LVO patients does not introduce additional risk in terms of sICH, in-hospital mortality, change in NIHSS, or discharge mRS. Future investigations should examine 90-day mRS scores in order to better understand long-term functional outcomes after treatment.Disclosure: Dr. Wagner has received personal compensation for activities with Genentech as a speaker.

Outcomes after Endovascular Therapy in a Population with Mild Acute Ischemic Stroke and Large Vessel Occlusion: Does Treatment Help? (P5.254)
Conclusions:It’s unclear whether IAT is beneficial in mild AIS and LVO. Interventional, multi-center studies with larger sample sizes are needed to definitively determine the efficacy of IAT. Though these data come from a small patient population, they offer an insight into the potential safety of IAT in a fragile stroke population.Disclosure: Dr. Fanale has nothing to disclose.

Outcomes after Endovascular Therapy in a Population with Mild Acute Ischemic Stroke: A 6.5 Year Observational Cohort Study at a High-Volume Comprehensive Stroke Center (P5.255)
Conclusions:These data highlight the safety of IAT in patients with mAIS, mirroring the results seen in recent large RCTs in the non-mAIS population. Patients in our study had a zero risk of sICH, and a mortality rate similar to literature examining IV-tPA administration in patients with mAIS. Furthermore, a large proportion of patients showed a clinically meaningful improvement in NIHSS, or were discharged with a favorable mRS.Disclosure: Dr. Fanale has nothing to disclose.
