Stroke education in the Philippines
Education is paramount in effectively reducing the significant burden of stroke in the Philippines. Dedicated academic institutions and dynamic professional organizations in the Philippines have collaborated to involve themselves in the plight against stroke through systematic curriculum development for undergraduates, continuous regulation of quality residency and fellowship training program, hosting up‐to‐date Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities for local and international audience, and active participation in clinical stroke trials. Most recently, the University of Santo Tomas Faculty of Medicine & Sur...

Racial and Gender Differences in Stroke Severity, Outcomes, and Treatment in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke
Background: Previous research has indicated that women and blacks have worse outcomes after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Little research has been done to investigate the combined influence of race and gender in the presentation, treatment, and outcome of patients with AIS. We sought to determine the association of race and gender on initial stroke severity, thrombolysis, and functional outcome after AIS.Methods: AIS patients who presented to 2 academic medical centers in the United States (2004-2011) were identified through prospective registries. In-hospital strokes were excluded. Stroke severity, measured by admission Na...

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.

Tobacco Use and Cryptogenic Stroke in Young Adults
Objective: Cryptogenic stroke is the leading subtype of ischemic stroke in the young. We sought to evaluate the association between traditional cardiovascular risk factors and cryptogenic stroke by using a case–control study. Methods: Patients aged 18-54 years, consecutively treated for first-ever cryptogenic ischemic stroke in an academic stroke unit, were compared with subjects from the general population living in the same geographic area. Control subjects were matched for age and sex with patients.

Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage after IV tPA for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Relative Contraindications to Treatment (P4.267)
Conclusions:12 AIS patients with Class 3 exclusion criteria were treated with IV tPA. Our eight cases of IV tPA in pICH patients adds substantially to the existing literature. In this study, 25% of patients with pICH developed symptomatic ICH after IV tPA. Although the low number of eligible patients limits interpretation of our findings, continued caution when considering IV tPA for AIS patients with pICH may be warranted. More data is needed to clarify the impact these relative contraindications have on the treatment of AIS.Disclosure: Dr. Smith has nothing to disclose. Dr. Alkuwaiti has nothing to disclose.

"Worth the Walk:" A Randomized Controlled Trial of a Walking Intervention to Decrease Stroke Risk Among Minority Seniors (S51.002)
Conclusions:We successfully implemented a community-partnered, culturally-tailored, sustainable program to increase walking in minority seniors. Preliminary data analysis suggests improvement in non-sustained increases in steps/day. Next steps include more extensive data analyses, including stakeholder interviews, and examination of participant-level and organizational features associated with more successful study outcomes and program implementation.Study Supported by: - University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Charles Drew University (CDU), Resource Centers for Minority Aging Research Center for Health Improvemen...

Saving Vanessa, part 1: A mystery rash, a stroke and an epic rescue
Vanessa’s rash first appeared on her arms and legs when she 3 or 4 months old. It was red and bumpy and went away when she was sick with a virus, which happened often. Then it would come back. The dermatology team she saw at Boston Children’s Hospital was puzzled. “I was expecting they were going to think it was nothing, but they took it very seriously,” says Katherine Bell, one of Vanessa’s mothers. “They took a biopsy and very quickly realized they had no idea what it was.” Vanessa’s case was even featured at a regional dermatology conference where doctors take up mystery patients. “A hundred to 150 der...

Seasonal Variation in 30-Day Mortality After Stroke: Teaching Versus Nonteaching Hospitals Brief Reports
Conclusions— The 30-day RAMR decreased overall, but seasonal patterns were present, with the highest RAMR in January and a smaller peak in July. Because patterns were similar for teaching and nonteaching hospitals, the July peak cannot be explained by the introduction of new trainees in the beginning of the academic year. The reasons for these seasonal patterns warrant further investigation.

Decompressive Hemicraniectomy for Malignant Hemispheric Stroke in the Elderly: Comparison of Outcomes between Individuals 61-70 and >70 Years of Age
Conclusions: We suggest that the efficacy of DHC in malignant hemispheric stroke patients between 61 and 70 years of age be further investigated in future randomized trials. By contrast, it appears unlikely that patients>70 years of age would benefit from DHC.

Stroke Mimics under the Drip-and-Ship Paradigm
Conclusion: The drip-and-ship paradigm and any psychiatric history predict the diagnosis of SM. None of the SM had thrombolysis-related complications, and all were discharged to home. These findings may explain the superior outcomes associated with the drip-and-ship paradigm in the treatment for AIS.

Ischemic Strokes in Pakistan: Observations from the National Acute Ischemic Stroke Database
Conclusions: Hypertension and dyslipidemia were the most common risk factors and large vessel atherosclerosis was the most common stroke etiology. Elderly patients were significantly more likely to have in-hospital complications, die during their hospital stay, and have a higher mRS score at discharge.

Race Does Not Predict Discharge Functional Status in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Renal Impairment after Systemic tPA (P7.142)
Conclusions: Our data are consistent with previous studies that renal impairment is a predictor of poor discharge outcome. Although limited by relatively small numbers, our analysis did not demonstrate AA race predicted poor discharge functional status.Disclosure: Dr. Sands has nothing to disclose.
