Predictive factors for clinical outcomes in Filipino patients with watershed infarction: A single center study
CONCLUSION: Clinical outcomes between watershed infarcts and acute ischemic strokes were similar. Hemodynamic compromise in the setting of severe stenosis is the underlying mechanism for both types of watershed strokes thus, the goal of treatment is to maintain adequate perfusion. High baseline NIHSS score, increased age, female gender and underlying malignancy were all poor predictors of clinical outcomes in patients with watershed strokes.PMID:36908808 | PMC:PMC9995929 | DOI:10.1016/j.ensci.2023.100450

A Cost Utility Analysis of Amlodipine Compared with Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers in Preventing Stroke and Myocardial Infarction Among Hypertension Patients in the Philippines
Hypertension represents a major health problem, affecting more than 21% of adults in the Philippines. Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, is considered to have better tolerance and effectiveness than other classes of antihypertensive treatments. Limited studies have examined the cost-effectiveness of Amlodipine in the Philippines. The purpose of this study was to compare the costs and effectiveness associated with Amlodipine and Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (Valsartan) in preventing stroke and myocardial infarction (MI) among Filipino hypertension patients.

Acute Stroke Care Algorithm in a Private Tertiary Hospital in the Philippines During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Third World Country Experience
Since March 2020, we have experienced an influx of COVID-19 positive patients. As of April 27, 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic has claimed the lives of at least 27 healthcare professionals while infecting 1080 healthcare professionals in the Philippines.1 Despite attempts to formalize protocols and treatment pathways to ensure the safety of healthcare professionals while optimizing patient care, Philippine healthcare workers from every department still continue to suffer from COVID-19 infections. These affect not only acute care but also emergency response systems such as the brain attack code.

Prevalence of Hypertension among Patients Attending Mobile Medical Clinics in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan
Conclusions Better planning and preparation by humanitarian actors seeking to decrease the overall morbidity and mortality associated with disasters should include treatment of NCDs. There is limited evidence regarding the optimal management of hypertension in disaster settings. Clinical care of patients with hypertension and other NCDs is an important part of disaster relief and recovery. We recommend future studies to determine best practices and evidence-based management of other NCDs (such as diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, chronic lung disease, mental health etc.) in post-disaster settings. Competing Inter...

Cognitive Impairment in Healthy Filipino Adults with MRI Non-specific White Matter Change (P4.198)
CONCLUSIONS:Our results varied from majority of large-scale studies on NSWMC worldwide. In other studies the population did not exclude subjects with small hippocampus or previous history of stroke. Our study aims is to correlate NSWMC to cognitive decline in an otherwise healthy adult with no vascular or Alzheimers dementia. We conclude that in healthy Filipino adults with normal hippocampal volume and with no history of vascular strokes, the presence of NSWMC does not correlate with cognitive impairment.Disclosure: Dr. Talamera has nothing to disclose. Dr. Dominguez has nothing to disclose. Dr. Dizon has nothing to disclose.
