Outcome following hemicraniectomy in children with acute stroke in the International Pediatric Stroke Study (S46.002)
Conclusions:Hemicraniectomy in pediatric stroke is preformed infrequently. Death does occur in these children at a low rate of 5%. The majority of children had moderate to severe deficits. Overall children who have hemicraniectomies continue to have significant neurologic deficits following the procedure. Prospective studies are needed to examine long term morbidity following hemicraniectomy.Disclosure: Dr. Lehman has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Mortality And Its Predictors In Nigeria: Results Of A Hospital-Based Study (P2.120)
Conclusion: The 30-day case fatality rate among our stroke patients is high while the independent predictors of this outcome are severity of stroke on admission and presence of complications. Continuing health education of the public on stroke recognition and the need for early hospital presentation is necessary while optimal management of cases in a stroke care unit is advocated in order to improve outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Wahab has nothing to disclose.

Long Distance Travel Potentiates Other Novel Risk Factors in PFO Related Strokes - "Economy Class Strokes" (S55.006)
ConclusionPFOs are highly prevalent in the general population, but they are usually only discovered after a stroke - so effective risk assessment and prevention are key. Our results suggest that both air and land travel are risk factors for PFO-related stroke, and the coexistence of additional risk factors potentiates risk associated with immobilization. These results help to individualize care: high-risk patients may benefit from pre-travel education, or DVT prophylaxis.Study Supported by: NIH/NINDSDisclosure: Dr. Ning has nothing to disclose.

Smoking is Associated with All-Cause Mortality after Stroke (P1.121)
Conclusions: Stroke survivors who continue to smoke are nearly 2.5 times more likely to die of all causes compared to those who never smoked and nearly twice as likely to die of all causes compared to former smokers. These findings underscore the importance of smoking cessation counseling in order to improve outcomes after stroke.Disclosure: Dr. MacCallum has nothing to disclose.

Race/ethnic Disparities in the Time from Stroke Symptom Onset to Hospital Arrival among Stroke Patients Arriving by EMS in the Florida-Puerto Rico Stroke Registry (P4.307)
Conclusions:Race/ethnic differences were observed in the time from stroke onset to hospital arrival among EMSTARS patients, driven by differences in time from onset to 911 call. Culturally-tailored intervention programs are needed to educate the public, especially black communities, about stroke symptoms and the importance of immediate 911 activation.Study Supported by:U54 NS 081763Disclosure: Dr. Gardener has nothing to disclose.

Improving Stroke Clinical Trial Enrollment via the Use of Telemedicine (S6.007)
Conclusions:Our results indicate it is feasible to enroll acute stroke patients into clinical trials through the use of remote telemedicine consultations. Telemedicine can increase the rate of enrollment in stroke clinical trials. As telemedicine is increasingly utilized, this novel approach can be used to successfully accelerate the completion of clinical trials.Disclosure: Dr. Noroozi has nothing to disclose.

A Decade of Racial and Ethnic Stroke Disparity: An Insight from Nhanes (P03.151)
CONCLUSIONS: The greater prevalence of stroke in AA compared to NHW is better explained by variables that reflect the diagnosis and control of important vascular risk factors. These results identify targets for interventions to reduce this disparity.Disclosure: Dr. Gutierrez 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.

Impact of Personal Health Records on Stroke Readmission and Outpatient Follow Up Rates (P1.354)
Conclusions: This data suggests that a PHR could be an effective tool to provide stroke patients with the knowledge of their own medical conditions. This can help improve their readmission rates and provide better care for our stroke patients after discharge.Disclosure: Dr. Cherian has nothing to disclose. Dr. Cho has nothing to disclose.

Getting to the Core of Stroke Care: Real Time Chart Review Improves Hospital Compliance with Core Measures (P6.269)
Conclusions:Real time chart review, utilization of a MQA, and alerting of providers is significantly more effective than a process utilizing retrospective chart review based on sampling and manual abstraction in increasing CM compliance. Implementation of these methods reduces CM deficiencies and leads to improved stroke care.Disclosure: Dr. Katsafanas has nothing to disclose. Dr. Furbeyre has nothing to disclose.

Measuring Health-Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL) During Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation (S21.002)
CONCLUSIONS: EQ-5 ratings converged between stroke survivors and clinicians, suggesting it is valid and reliable to measure moderate stroke survivor HRQOL in inpatient rehabilitation. EQ-5 and FIM improvement were poorly associated; HRQOL may independently complement functional outcome assessment in inpatient rehabilitation. Future studies could explore different areas of function to clarify the factor structure of improvement on these measures relative to HRQL.Study Supported by: NIH, Kessler FoundationDisclosure: Dr. Frisina has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation as an...

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.
