Using Artificial Intelligence to Reduce Risk of Non-Adherence in Patients on Anticoagulation Therapy (S53.002)
Conclusions:Elderly stroke patients, many with little experience using a smartphone, successfully used an AI application to monitor and increase adherence to anticoagulation therapy over 12 weeks. Patients monitored by the AI Platform demonstrated a 50% absolute improvement in adherence based on plasma drug levels. Continuous monitoring has the potential to increase adherence, change patient behavior and reduce the risks associated with non-adherence, particularly in patients on DOAC therapy.Study Supported by:AcknowledgmentFunding was received from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), grant nu...

Ischemic Stroke Related to Severe Iron-Deficiency Anemia in Adults May Benefit from Blood Transfusion (P01.232)
CONCLUSIONS: Prevalence of IDA is 1-20%; it is 3.9% in our AIS population and is often related to untreated uterine bleeding. As described in the pediatric population, severe IDA may be an underlying mechanism of ischemic stroke in adults, therefore, efforts must be undertaken to identify and treat the cause of the anemia. While patients with AIS and severe IDA may receive TPA, blood transfusion may be considered as an adjuvant therapy.Supported by: SPOTRIAS P50 NS044227 & NIH Training Grant 5T 32NS0077412-12.Disclosure: Dr. Choi has nothing to disclose.
