Uptake in antithrombotic treatment and its association with stroke incidence in atrial fibrillation: insights from a large German claims database
ConclusionBetween 2011 and 2016, the use of guideline-conform antithrombotic therapy in Germany has significantly increased. This was associated with a significant decline in strokes without an increased incidence of bleeding complications.

Factors Associated With Length of Hospitalization in Patients Admitted With Transient Ischemic Attack in United States Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Approximately 75% of patients admitted with transient ischemic attack stay in the hospital for ≥2 days, with the most important determinants being pre-existing medical comorbidities. Longer duration of hospital stay is associated with 2- to 5-fold greater hospitalization charges.

Digoxin use is associated with increased risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation — a nationwide population-based cohort study
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. Digoxin is often used as a rate control agent in AF patients, particularly in those with systolic heart failure. Although digoxin use in AF patients can reduce heart failure symptoms, increase exercise capacity and decrease hospitalizations , unfavorable effects on long-term outcomes have been reported . In the Atrial Fibrillation Follow-up Investigation of Rhythm Management (AFFIRM) study, a post-hoc analysis showed a higher rate of mortality in patients treated with digitalis medication . A study of the “Registry of Information and K...

Increased Risk of First-Ever Stroke in Younger Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Not Recommended for Antithrombotic Therapy by Current Guidelines: A Population-Based Study in an East Asian Cohort of 22 Million People
To assess the risk of first-ever ischemic stroke in younger patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who have none of the CHA2DS2-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke/transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, sex category [female sex]) risk factors (excluding female sex) by using the National Health Insurance research database in Taiwan.

Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors and Outcomes in the Twenty-First Century: Findings from the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) Study
Abstract REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) is a longitudinal study supported by the National Institutes of Health to determine the disparities in stroke-related mortality across USA. REGARDS has published a body of work designed to understand the disparities in prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of coronary heart disease (CHD) and its risk factors in a biracial national cohort. REGARDS has focused on racial and geographical disparities in the quality and access to health care, the influence of lack of medical insurance, and has attempted to contrast current guidelines in...

New-onset atrial fibrillation-related ischemic stroke occurring after hospital discharge in septicemia survivors
Conclusion: The middle-aged and elderly septicemia survivors suffered from new-onset AF had increased incidence of IS within three months. New-onset AF was a mediator factor of IS in septicemia survivors of Asian population.

Comparing the economic burden of ischemic stroke patients with and without atrial fibrillation: a retrospective study in Beijing, China.
CONCLUSIONS: AF increased the use of healthcare resources, treatment cost, and economic burden in patients with IS. Therefore, prevention of cardio-embolic events patients with AF by anticoagulants may decrease the economic burden in patients with IS. PMID: 28657348 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Stroke prevention strategies in North American patients with atrial fibrillation: the GLORIA ‐AF registry program
ConclusionsIn GLORIA‐AF, 20% of the population comprising males with CHA2DS2‐VASc ≥1 and females with CHA2DS2‐VASc ≥2 did not receive oral anticoagulation therapy. Patient characteristics associated with a lower likelihood of OAC prescription were use of antiplatelet drugs, paroxysmal pattern of AF, a history of falls, and prior bleeding.

Increased Incident Ischemic Stroke Risk in Advanced Kidney Disease: A Large-Scale Real-World Data Study.
CONCLUSION: Although we found that OAC use was effective and recommended for patients with AF, advanced kidney disease is still an independent risk factor for IS/SE, even in patients taking OAC. Physicians should be aware of this risk and strictly control modifiable risk factors, regardless of OAC use. PMID: 32726780 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Association between exercise habits and stroke, heart failure, and mortality in Korean patients with incident atrial fibrillation: A nationwide population-based cohort study
by Hyo-Jeong Ahn, So-Ryoung Lee, Eue-Keun Choi, Kyung-Do Han, Jin-Hyung Jung, Jae-Hyun Lim, Jun-Pil Yun, Soonil Kwon, Seil Oh, Gregory Y. H. Lip BackgroundThere is a paucity of information about cardiovascular outcomes related to exercise habit change after a new diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF). We investigated the association between exercise habits after a new AF diagnosis and ischemic stroke, heart failure (HF), and all-cause death. Methods and findingsThis is a nationwide population-based cohort study using data from the Korea National Health Insurance Service. A retrospective analysis was performed for 66,692 pa...

New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation Is a Risk Factor of Ischemic Stroke in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
In conclusion, COPD patients suffering from new-onset AF had an increased incidence of IS in the population observation study. New-onset AF was an omit risk factor for IS in COPD in the Chinese population.PMID:35206997 | DOI:10.3390/healthcare10020381

Utilization of Hospice Care and Patient Characteristics Associated With Discharge to Hospice in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients (P6.263)
Conclusions:The rates of discharge to hospice following AIS have substantially grown in the past decade and at our institution 4.2% were discharged to hospice. These patients were older, had higher median NIHSS and more often had altered level of consciousness upon presentation. Large, multicenter studies are needed to address the variation in the rates of hospice care across the United States.Disclosure: Dr. Vuong has nothing to disclose. Dr. Ali has nothing to disclose.
