Utilization Of In-Hospital Palliative Care For Ischemic Stroke Deaths In United States (S45.005)
Conclusions:In-hospital palliative care is associated with more conservative resource utilization. Significant patient and hospital related differences exists in palliative care utilization for AIS deaths in United States. A growing concern over high cost associated with end of life care in United States is expected to affect the trend of offering and adopting in-hospital palliative services impacting health care finances and quality of care measures.Disclosure: Dr. Shreyansh has nothing to disclose.

Predictors of Poor Outcome in Bacterial Meningitis: Retrospective Analysis of Nationwide Inpatient Sample (P5.046)
CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, every decade increase in age, teaching hospital status and development of complications like hydrocephalus, ischemic stroke, seizures, intracranial abscess and respiratory failure were predictors of poor outcome. Every calendar year increase was a negative predictor of poor outcome. Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Dharaiya has nothing to disclose. Dr. Modi has nothing to disclose.

Comparative analysis of in-hospital outcomes between spontaneous vertebral and carotid arterial dissection at National level (P5.048)
Conclusions:Vertebral artery dissection affects younger patients in comparison to carotid dissections, is associated with higher in hospital complications and procedures, probably thereby leading to prolonged length of stay and higher hospital charges in comparison with carotid artery dissection. Early diagnoses of vertebral artery dissection as a cause of ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation is imperative to improve outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Qureshi has nothing to disclose.
