Ischemic Stroke And Cervical Artery Dissection. Risk Factors And Functional Outcome In a Single Tertiary Care Hospital: The Clinica Alemana Stroke Registry (RECCA), 1997-2003 (P3.111)
ConclusionsThe prognosis of ischemic stroke patients with cervical artery dissections is generally good. The only variable associated with a worse prognosis, was a high NIHSS at admission. This allows early identification of a group of patients who are at increased risk of significant disability at discharge.Disclosure: Dr. Diaz has nothing to disclose.

Obesity in a Young Adult Stroke Population (P3.116)
CONCLUSION: In our group of young adult stroke patients, only a minority were associated with extracranial dissections. Obesity and standard stroke risk factors such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia were more commonly seen than one would expect in this age group. Typically one would expect extracranial dissections to be more prevalent in this population. Promoting a healthy lifestyle and physical activity early in life will lead to a significant reduction in obesity and its associated stroke risk factors in young adults.Disclosure: Dr. Youn has nothing to disclose.

Comparison Of Large Vessel Stroke Patient Outcomes Before And After Initiation Of On-Site Endovascular Stroke Treatment Services (P2.015)
Discussion: For every 30 minutes until reperfusion, the probability of good recovery after large vessel stroke is decreased by about 10%. Transfer delays impede the benefit of endovascular recanalization. In the absence of strategic air transportation systems, rapid deployment of an endovascular team decreases time to recanalization and improves patient outcomes in anterior large vessel stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Shwe has nothing to disclose.

Intracranial Dural Arteriovenous Fistula Presenting with Recurrent Transient Fluent Aphasia (P2.097)
Conclusion: This case illustrates that a vascular malformation can present with recurrent transient focal deficits. A well-defined hypodensity with increased vascularity is an uncommon early finding in acute ischemic stroke. In the setting of recurrent neurological deficits, these findings should prompt a thorough neurovascular evaluation.Disclosure: Dr. Nourbakhsh has nothing to disclose.

Left Ventricular Hypertrophy as a Predictor of White Matter Hyperintensities in Young Stroke Patients (P2.111)
CONCLUSIONS: A large proportion of WMH in our cohort is hypertensive. Our preliminary data suggest that LVH may aid in determining the pathophysiology underlying WMH in young adults with stroke, independent from HTN. Further analyses are needed to confirm our findings.Study Supported by: NoneDisclosure: Dr. Catanese has nothing to disclose. Dr. Shoamanesh has nothing to disclose. Dr. Lau has nothing to disclose.

Ethnic Differences in Ischemic Stroke Subtypes: The Stroke Prevention in Young Adults Study (P2.112)
CONCLUSIONS: Our population-based data demonstrate ethnic differences in ischemic stroke subtypes. These findings may help clarify mechanisms of young-onset stroke which appear to be partially driven by ethnic differences in early stroke risk factors, thereby indicating differing workup and treatment.Disclosure: Dr. Cole has received research support from the University of Maryland.

Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy and Future Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review (P2.114)
CONCLUSIONS: Hypertension in pregnancy likely carries an increased risk for stroke in later life, especially when associated with pre-eclampsia/eclampsia. There may be benefit in targeting these women for close risk-factor monitoring and control beyond the post-partum period.Disclosure: Dr. Ganesh has nothing to disclose.

Higher Coated-Platelets in Patients with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Correlate with Lower Cognitive Screening Performance (P3.049)
CONCLUSIONS: Higher coated-platelet levels correlate with lower cognitive screening scores as measured by the MoCA test in mTBI patients. Additional studies aimed at determining the long-term impact of these findings in veterans with TBI is warranted.Study Supported by: Clinical Science Research & Development Service of the VA Office of Research and Development (Award number1I01CX000340).Disclosure: Dr. Prodan has received research support from the Veterans Affairs Office.

Uninsured Patients May Lack Diagnoses for Chronic Diseases That Are Known Stroke Risk Predictors (P2.140)
CONCLUSIONS:In our population, uninsured patients were significantly less likely to have risk factors for stroke based on past medical history. However, the same population had the higher prevalence of systolic hypertension and elevated LDL on admission and were not taking medications at home. Together, this suggests that uninsured patients may lack access to resources needed to diagnose and treat known chronic risk factors for stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Baranwal has nothing to disclose.

Relation of Serial Hemodynamic and Autonomic Changes in Acute Ischemic Stroke to Stroke Type, Location and Outcome. (P3.094)
Conclusion: Hypertension in AIS may be mediated predominantly by changes in SVR. Hemodynamic and autonomic parameters may predict outcome and possibly stroke location. Further studies among patients with homogenous stroke types may help understand the interaction between focal brain injury and autonomic changes.Study funded by: Dean's Fund, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Sultan Qaboos University, Muscat, OmanDisclosure: Dr. Gujjar has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Outcomes and Usage of IV Alteplase during Pregnancy in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample 2005-2010 (P3.100)
ConclusionsStroke remains a serious complication in pregnancy, and mortality is increasing.
