Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the REGARDS Study (P7.138)
CONCLUSIONS:Our study of unselected US hospitals showed low tPA utilization. Documented reasons for non-use were suboptimal with the lowest among patients not evaluated by a stroke team. Our sample was not limited to hospitals participating in national quality improvement programs, thus increasing generalizability. Strategies that focus on earlier hospital arrival and educating both the public and healthcare field to increase tPA utilization are urgently needed.Disclosure: Dr. Sands has nothing to disclose.

Educating Caregivers to Reduce Complications and Improve Outcomes of Stroke Patients (ECCOS) – A Cluster-Randomized Trial
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity.1,2 Post-stroke complications were found to be significant predictors of mortality and morbidity.3-9 Patients treated in organized stroke units had better results,10 partly attributed to prevention of complications.11 As India has a limited number of stroke units,12 most stroke patients are managed in general wards potentially leading to sub-optimal outcomes.13

Insurance Status and Outcome after Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Findings from Get With The Guidelines-Stroke
Backgound: Few studies have examined associations among insurance status, treatment, and outcomes in patients hospitalized for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods: Through retrospective analyses of the Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-Stroke database, a national prospective stroke registry, from April 2003 to April 2011, we identified 95,986 nontransferred subjects hospitalized with ICH. Insurance status was categorized as Private/Other, Medicaid, Medicare, or None/Not Documented (ND). Associations between insurance status and in-hospital outcomes and quality of care measures were analyzed using patient- and hospital-spec...

Translation of the ‘time is brain’ concept into clinical practice: Focus on prehospital stroke management
Acute stroke is one of the main causes of death and chronic disability. Thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator within the first hours after onset of symptoms is an effective therapeutic option for ischemic stroke. However, fewer than 2% to 7% of patients receive this treatment, primarily because most patients reach the hospital too late for the initiation of successful therapy. Several measures can reduce detrimental delay until treatment. It is of importance to use continual public awareness campaigns to reduce delays in patients' alarm of emergency medical services. Further relevant measures are repet...

Testing devices for the prevention and treatment of stroke and its complications
We are entering a challenging but exciting period when many new interventions may appear for stroke based on the use of devices. Hopefully these will lead to improved outcomes at a cost that can be afforded in most parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is vital that lessons are learnt from failures in the development of pharmacological interventions (and from some early device studies), including inadequate preclinical testing, suboptimal trial design and analysis, and underpowered studies. The device industry is far more disparate than that seen for pharmaceuticals; companies are very variable in size and experience in str...

Emerging Subspecialties in Neurology: Pediatric stroke and cerebrovascular disorders
In 1895, a neuropathologist at the University of Vienna observed that "a large number of cases of infantile cerebral palsy is caused by the same factors that bring about the majority of cases of cerebral paralysis of adults: by tearing, embolism, and thrombosis of cerebral vessels."1 While Sigmund Freud would go on to become better known for other endeavors, his observation that children can have strokes paved the way for the development of the emerging subspecialty of pediatric stroke and cerebrovascular disorders.
