E-036 age, stroke severity, use of stent retrievers, general anesthesia, and hemorrhagic conversion may predict outcome in stroke patients who undergo successful intra-arterial therapy
ConclusionAge, NIHSS score, use of stent retrievers, mode of anesthesia, and symptomatic ICH might affect functional outcome in stroke patients who achieve successful recanalization via intra-arterial therapy. Prospective studies, or a meta-analysis of sub-groups in the recently published prospective trials are needed to confirm the association between those factors, or others, and functional outcome. Identification of such predictors might help in screening acute stroke patients for intra-arterial therapy.DisclosuresM. Noufal: None. J. Mankad: None. D. Shirilla: None. A. Lakraj: None. J.

Socioeconomic factors’ effect on return to work after first stroke
ConclusionPatients with low socioeconomic status less often RTW 1 year after stroke.Impaired functional status after stroke is more common in patients with lower socioeconomic status and mediates socioeconomic differences in RTW. Improvement of functional status should be targeted to facilitate RTW among stroke patients with low socioeconomic status.

Development of a 3D, networked multi-user virtual reality environment for home therapy after stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Multi-user VR environments hold promise for home therapy, although the importance of reducing complexity of operation for the user in the VR system must be emphasized. A modified version of the VERGE system is currently being used in a home therapy study. PMID: 30290777 [PubMed - in process]

Low gait speed is associated with low physical activity and high sedentary time following stroke.
Conclusions: Physical activity is low following stroke and should be a target for treatment, particularly in those with gait speeds ≤0.8 m/s.Implications for rehabilitationSeventy-three percent of stroke survivors performed ≥30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity throughout the day.Twenty-seven percent of stroke survivors accumulated ≥30 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity in 10 minute bouts.Despite relatively good physical ability, daily step count was low in this sample.Those with gait speeds ≤0.8 m/s had lower physical activity levels and higher sedentary time.

Personalized predictions of treatment outcome in patients with post-stroke depressive symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Post-stroke depressive symptoms form a complex and multifactorial problem. Treatment outcome is influenced by the characteristics of the stroke, the patient, and their spouse. The results show that psychological distress is probably no obstacle to attempting to improve participation. The personalized predictions (prognostic index scores) of treatment outcome show promising results, which, after further replication and validation, could aid clinicians with treatment selection.

The effects of racism and resilience on Black stroke- survivor quality of life: Study protocol and rationale for a mixed-methods approach
This study aims to examine the effects of experiences of racism and resilience on Black SS QoL during early stroke recovery. This article presents the study protocol.Methods and analysesThis will be a prospective observational mixed-methods study. Black community-dwelling adults who are within 4 weeks of a stroke will be eligible for inclusion. Baseline measures will include the exposure variables of experiences of racism and resilience. Covariates measured at baseline include sociodemographic variables (age, sex, marital status, education, income, health insurance, employment status, number of people in household, residen...

The (im)possibilities of returning to work after a stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Conflicting institutional practices connected to the discourses of normality and employability contribute to the difficulties that persons who have had a stroke face when trying to return to work after recovery. PMID: 28339419 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Assessment of Economic Aspects of Stroke in Different Clinical Management Settings: Academic vs. Non-academic (P3.055)
Conclusions:The academic status of healthcare facilities plays a key role in cost and charge of the management of stroke patients. Despite more employment of laboratory, imaging and resources in academic setting, comparison of prognosis, patient safety and clinical outcome in two groups remains unclear. Significant decrease in the cost-to-charge ratio may cause higher patients’ copay which reflects more in academic settings and uninsured individuals. Further studies to investigate effects of alterations in the cost-to-charge ratio on patients’ beneficiary is necessary.Disclosure: Dr. Fahimi has nothing to discl...
