Stroke Mortality in Kenya ’s Public Tertiary Hospitals: A Prospective Facility-Based Study
Conclusions: Mortality due to stroke is high, with poor survival observed in the first year after stroke. The risk of death increases with increasing age and duration of hospital stay. There is need for attention to quality of care and long-term needs of stroke patients to mitigate the high mortality rates observed. Public health initiatives aimed at early screening and diagnosis should be enhanced. Further research is recommended to establish the true burden of stroke at the community level to inform appropriate mitigation measures.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2018;8:70 –79

Impact of Mechanical Thrombectomy on the Organization of the Management of Acute Ischemic Stroke
Background: Several trials and meta-analyses have recently demonstrated the superiority of endovascular therapy over standard medical treatment in patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke. In order to offer the best possible treatment to a maximum number of patients, many stroke care networks probably have to be reorganized. After analyzing the reliability of data in the literature, an algorithm is suggested for a pre-hospital and in-hospital alert system to improve the timeliness of subsequent treatment: a drip-and-ship approach. Summary: Five recent well-designed randomized studies have demonstrated the benefit of ...

Pattern of Acute Stroke Presentation in a Young Tertiary Hospital in South-South, Nigeria: Appraisal of Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes (P1.118)
CONCLUSION: Stroke is associated with high mortality with patients presenting relatively young. Hemorrhagic stroke is common though ischemic stroke is still the commonest. Hypertension is the commonest risk factor. Family history of stroke and recurrent or history of previous stroke are also high.Disclosure: Dr. Obiabo has received personal compensation for activities with Novartis as a speaker.

Hospital Factors Associated with Feeding Tube Placement for US Stroke Inpatients (S45.004)
CONCLUSIONS: Although feeding tube insertion rates have remained stable among ischemic stroke patients over the past decade, variability across hospitals was large. Differences across hospitals may be partly explained by external factors beyond the patient-centered decision to insert a PEG tube.Study Supported by: American Stroke AssociationDisclosure: Dr. George has nothing to disclose.

Differences in Ischaemic and Haemorrhagic Strokes in Sri Lanka: 7-year data from the Ragama Stroke Registry (P1.092)
CONCLUSIONS:Clinical and risk factor profiles were different between ICH and IS patients. Stroke severity and functional disability were higher among ICH patients.

Counselling training for speech-language therapists working with people affected by post-stroke aphasia: a systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: Research in counselling training for speech-language therapists working in post-stroke aphasia is limited, with a small number of primarily low-quality studies available. Training in generic counselling skills and brief psychological approaches with support from mental health professionals in the stroke workplace enabled speech-language therapists to feel knowledgeable, skilled and confident to address the psychological well-being of people affected by post-stroke aphasia. Evidence about the effectiveness of counselling training on speech-language therapists' confidence and competence in practice and on client...

Stroke-GAN Painter: Learning to paint artworks using stroke-style generative adversarial networks
AbstractIt is a challenging task to teach machines to paint like human artists in a stroke-by-stroke fashion. Despite advances in stroke-based image rendering and deep learning-based image rendering, existing painting methods have limitations: they (i) lack flexibility to choose different art-style strokes, (ii) lose content details of images, and (iii) generate few artistic styles for paintings. In this paper, we propose a stroke-style generative adversarial network, called Stroke-GAN, to solve the first two limitations. Stroke-GAN learns styles of strokes from different stroke-style datasets, so can produce diverse strok...

Development Of A Simulated Patient Exercise To Improve Acute Stroke Care By Neurology Residents (S30.007)
CONCLUSIONS:Simulation exercises focusing on patient and family counseling may improve resident preparedness to deliver acute stroke care. These simulations may serve a role in more broad hospital-based quality improvement and educational interventions aimed at eliminating treatment delays for acute stroke.Study Supported by:University of Rochester Medical Center Dean's Teaching Fellowship Program and the Donald W.

Glucose and lipid assessment in patients with acute stroke
Conclusions: The detection of abnormal metabolic milieu is a window of opportunity for aggressive management in persons with stroke as this will improve outcome. Routine screening for hyperglycaemia in persons with stroke using glycosylated haemoglobin tests and blood glucose may uncover previously undiagnosed DM.

Pharmacists' role in a hospital's initiative to become a certified primary stroke center.
CONCLUSION: By participating in the implementation of a number of transformative initiatives, the pharmacy department played an important role in enabling the medical center to provide consistent, excellent care for all patients with stroke as it prepared for certification as a PSC.

A Survey on Knowledge of Stroke Subtypes and Etiology at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (P1.260)
Conclusions: HS is an under recognized part of stroke subtype at MTRH. Kenya has yet to develop specific national guidelines for HS management. The goal is to utilize the results from this survey to develop education and process improvement initiatives. We hope this will translate into improved care and outcomes for patients with stroke at MTRH.Disclosure: Dr. Lin has nothing to disclose. Dr. Guhwe has nothing to disclose.

Retention of Stroke Education Provided during Hospitalization: Does Provision of Required Education Increase Stroke Knowledge?
Discussion: While stroke education is required during hospitalization, its ability to produce retention may be poor. We propose study of test-enhanced learning methods through the Targeted Education in Stroke Trial (TEST) to examine the effect of novel teaching methods on patient/caregiver knowledge retention.Intervent Neurol 2018;7:471 –478
