Risk of peripheral artery disease and stroke in migraineurs with or without aura: a nationwide population-based cohort study
Conclusion: Migraineurs without established cardiovascular disease had a significantly increased risk of PAD and stroke, and the risk of stroke persists in migraineurs with or without aura, with an increased trend of PAD in migraineurs with aura. Our study result should remind clinical physicians of the risk of PAD in the future among migraineurs even without established cardiovascular disease currently, and screening for PAD and stroke may be needed in caring patients with migraine.PMID:35919822 | PMC:PMC9339415 | DOI:10.7150/ijms.72119

Hyperuricemia and the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation — Could it refine clinical risk stratification in AF?
Conclusions: Hyperuricemia was a significant risk factor of stroke which could potentially refine the clinical risk stratification in AF. It deserves a prospective trial to investigate whether it would change the current strategy for stroke preventions using oral anticoagulants.

Effect of statin use on clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
The objective of this study was to clarify whether statin therapy can influence the prognosis in recent ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation. We identified ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation between 2001 and 2011 from Taiwan National Health Insurance Database. Patients not treated with statins during the first 90 days after the index stroke were matched to patients treated with statins in the first 90 days in a 2:1 ratio on the basis of age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, estimated National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, use of anticoagulant, an...

Development of an Algorithm for Stroke Prediction: A National Health Insurance Database Study in Korea
Conclusion: The model developed in the present study can be applied in the clinical setting to estimate the probability of stroke in a year and thus improve the stroke prevention strategies in high-risk patients. The approach used to develop the stroke prevention algorithm can be applied for developing similar models for the pre-diagnosis of other diseases.Eur Neurol 2018;79:214 –220

Influenza vaccination might reduce the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation: A population-based cohort study.
Conclusions: Influenza vaccination might exert a dose-response effect against ischemic stroke in patients with AF who have risk factors for ischemic stroke by reducing the incidence of ischemic stroke, particularly in those aged 65-74 and ≥75 y. PMID: 29348857 [PubMed]

Predicting the Risk of Ischemic Stroke among Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Using a Simplified RA-CHADSV Score Based on the CHA2DS2-VASc Score.
CONCLUSIONS: A simplified RA-CHADSV score, with comparable efficiency as the CHA2DS2-VASc score, but easier to use clinically was developed for predicting the risk of ischemic stroke among non-AF RA patients. PMID: 32059458 [PubMed - in process]

E-051 Disparities in stroke: Associating socioeconomic factors with ischemic stroke outcome
ConclusionsMedian income based on zip code is a SES indicator that is potentially associated with functional outcomes of ischemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy. Further studies addressing this relationship are needed.Disclosures A. Nguyen: None. G. M. Cortez: None. M. Baretta: None. A. Aghaebrahim: None. E. Sauvageau: None. R. Hanel: None.

Uveitis increases the risk of stroke among patients with ankylosing spondylitis: A nationwide population-based longitudinal study
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is known to increase the risk of stroke. Among patients with AS, uveitis is the most common extra-articular manifestation. However, no previous investigations have discussed the association between uveitis and the risk for developing stroke in patients with AS. This retrospective cohort study aimed to explore the relationship between uveitis and the incidence of stroke in patients with AS by obtaining medical records from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2015, from the National Health Insurance Research Database, according to the International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, Clinical M...

Identifying Barriers in Acute Stroke Therapy in Argentina. ARENAS Registry (P2.014)
CONCLUSIONS: Only 47% of patients were admitted to an Intensive Care Unit, rt-PA was underused and initial evaluation was not performed by a neurologist in most of cases. The gap between clinical practice guidelines and real world is wide in Argentina and interventions to improve acute stroke care are mandatory.Disclosure: Dr. Atallah has nothing to disclose.
