To determine the impact of serum albumin levels on admission with the outcomes in patients receiving IV-t-PA (alteplase) for treatment of acute ischemic stroke. (P5.134)
Conclusion: Among ischemic stroke patients treated with thrombolysis admission hypoalbuminemia was not a predictor of poor outcome. This will need to be validated in larger studies.Disclosure: Dr. Limaye has nothing to disclose. Dr. Lahoti has nothing to disclose. Dr. Hinduja has nothing to disclose.

Persistent Elevation of Factor VIII and Long-term Patient Outcomes in Ischemic Stroke (P3.076)
CONCLUSIONS: In our study population, persistent elevation in FVIII was not associated with the magnitude of improvement in mRS between baseline and follow-up, but was associated with increased frequency of moderate-to-severe disability or death at time of follow-up. Persistent versus transient elevation in FVIII may have long-term functional implications.Disclosure: Dr. Samai has nothing to disclose. Dr. Boehme has nothing to disclose.

Seizures in Subcortical Ischemic & Hemorrhagic Strokes (P3.080)
CONCLUSIONS: We identified clinical risk factors associated with an increased risk for developing seizures in patients with subcortical strokes in one of the largest cohorts analyzed for this purpose. Seizures in this patient population are often under recognized and misdiagnosed. Further research regarding seizures in subcortical stroke patients will help identify a population that could benefit from AEDs.Disclosure: Dr. Dharia has nothing to disclose.

Short-Term Functional Outcome and its Predictors in a Hospital-Based Cohort of Nigerians with Acute Stroke (P5.171)
CONCLUSIONS: About 1 in 3 stroke patients in this cohort had poor functional outcome. In order to improve functional outcome and reduce the burden of stroke in Nigeria, public health education on early recognition and hospital presentation is needed. In acute stroke management, complications should be prevented while speech and language therapy should be instituted to improve functional outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Wahab has nothing to disclose.

Walking Quality During Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation Assessed by Wireless Sensing (P5.176)
CONCLUSIONS: The laboratory-quality gait metrics calculated by our wireless sensor system were sensitive to functional improvements during a period of known clinical recovery. Commercial sensor systems, for which steps counts are inaccurate at the slow speeds typical of hemi-paretic walking, have difficulty producing outcomes related to motor control in persons disabled by neurologic disease. Measurement of the quantity and quality of movements performed during daily activities enables clinicians and researchers to supervise gait training and skills practice during rehabilitation.Disclosure: Dr. Dorsch has nothing to discl...

Co-occurrence of spatial neglect and perseveration contributes to cognitive and functional impairment. (P5.179)
CONCLUSIONS: Perseveration combined with SN was associated with more functional disability and cognitive dysfunction, consistent with our prediction and Gandola et al. (2007). Further research examining the neuroanatomic correlates of SN and perseveration in relation to functional disability, rather than only in relation to laboratory tasks, may help elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying these two disorders.Disclosure: Dr. Caulfield has nothing to disclose.

Assessment of Stroke Knowledge and Attitudes among Riyadh Medical Students: A Cross-sectional Study (P2.303)
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated average medical students’ knowledge of stroke and identified knowledge gaps in different domains of basic stroke knowledge. Stroke education modules should be incorporated into the preclinical curriculum and neurology or stroke clerkships should be mandatory for all students. Emphasizing the high risk of stroke recurrence in patients with minor or transient symptoms is crucial for decreasing the burden of stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Al Zwahmah has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for Neurosciences Journal.

Overcoming Framing Bias in Stroke Neurologists' Assessments of the Minimally Clinically Important Difference for Novel Acute Ischemic Stroke Therapies (P4.187)
CONCLUSIONS: When assessed with framing based on clinical practice rather than convenience, vascular neurologists indicated the MCID for a safe agent to be worthwhile to use in acute ischemic stroke is about 1[percnt]. Drug and device agencies should consider this value to be the expert opinion MCID for acute ischemic stroke treatments when making regulatory decisions.Disclosure: Dr. Cranston has nothing to disclose.
