Impact of Atrial Fibrillation and Inadequate Antithrombotic Management on Mortality in Acute Neurovascular Syndrome
Conclusions: Patients with AF have more severe stroke and higher mortality than stroke patients without AF. Adherence to the antithrombotic treatment guidelines for the prevention of AF-related cardioembolic strokes is suboptimal. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of current antithrombotic treatment guidelines on mortality.

Application of Machine Learning Techniques to Identify Data Reliability and Factors Affecting Outcome After Stroke Using Electronic Administrative Records
Conclusion: Electronic administrative records from this cohort produced reliable outcome prediction and identified clinically appropriate factors negatively impacting most outcome variables following hospital admission with stroke. This presents a means of future identification of modifiable factors associated with patient discharge destination. This may potentially aid in patient selection for certain interventions and aid in better patient and clinician education regarding expected discharge outcomes.

Association of Left Atrial Sphericity with Risk of Stroke in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation. Sub-Analysis of the ASSAM Study
ConclusionLASP is associated with prior stroke in AF patients. The proposed new formula for identification of AF patients who are at risk of stroke, based on geometrical measurements of LA, is superior to the basic LASP in identification of AF patients with a history of stroke.

Characteristics of pulmonary vein enlargement in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients with stroke.
CONCLUSION: Compared to the right PVs, the left PVs and LAA exhibited more significant enlargement in patients with AF and stroke than in patients with AF only. This finding suggests that the remodeling of left-sided LA structures might be related to stroke. PMID: 25323887 [PubMed - in process]

High prevalence of atrial fibrillation in stroke patients admitted to university of gondar hospital, northwest ethiopia.
Conclusion: Atrial fibrillation is common in stroke patients in our hospital, especially in the elderly population. It is associated with low rate of improvement at discharge. Appropriate screening and treatment of atrial fibrillation is invaluable for the primary and secondary prevention of stroke. PMID: 29115119 [PubMed]

Advances in stroke medicine.
Authors: Campbell BC Abstract In recent years, reperfusion therapies such as intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy for ischaemic stroke have dramatically reduced disability and revolutionised stroke management. Thrombolysis with alteplase is effective when administered to patients with potentially disabling stroke, who are not at high risk of bleeding, within 4.5 hours of the time the patient was last known to be well. Emerging evidence suggests that other thrombolytics such as tenecteplase may be even more effective. Treatment may be possible beyond 4.5 hours in patients selected using brain imagi...

Poor enhancement pattern of left atrial appendage in cardiac computed tomography is associated with stroke in persistent atrial fibrillation patients.
Conclusions: The LAA enhancement pattern observed using cardiac CT is associated with the risk of stroke. Poor enhancement in the LAA suggests a potential high risk of stroke. PMID: 31559034 [PubMed]

Early apixaban therapy after ischemic stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation
ConclusionsSymptomatic HT rates are likely to be low in randomized trials of DOAC initiation post-stroke. Recurrent ischemic stroke may be the major clinical outcome. These data may be used as expected event rates when calculating sample size requirements for future safety/efficacy trials of early versus late DOAC initiation after AF-related stroke.

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.

Introduction of direct oral anticoagulant within 7  days of stroke onset: a nomogram to predict the probability of 3-month modified Rankin Scale score  & gt;  2
AbstractIn clinical practice, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are often started earlier ( ≤ 7 days) than in randomized clinical trials after stroke. We aimed to develop a nomogram model incorporating time of DOAC introduction ≤ 7 days of stroke onset in combination with different degrees of stroke radiological/neurological severity at the time of treatment to predict the prob ability of unfavorable outcome. We conducted a multicenter prospective study including 344 patients who started DOAC 1–7 days after atrial fibrillation-related stroke onset. Computed tomography scan 24–36 h after stroke onset was ...

Association between hemoglobin A1c and acute ischemic stroke among patients with type-2 diabetes: a case-control study
ConclusionsOngoing surveillance of HbA1c among PTDs should be conducted alongside knowledge sharing of glycemic control and stroke prevention as an essential measure to prevent developing AIS risk.
