The iScore Predicts Efficacy and Risk of Bleeding in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke Tissue Plasminogen Activator Stroke Trial
The iScore is a validated tool to estimate outcomes after an acute ischemic stroke. A previous study showed the iScore can predict clinical response and risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). We applied the iScore (www.sorcan.ca/iscore) to participants in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke tPA stroke trials to evaluate its ability to estimate clinical response and risk of ICH after thrombolysis. Based on results from our previous study, patients were stratified a priori into iScore

Bleeding Complications Associated with Warfarin Treatment in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Population-Based Cohort Study
Background: Bleeding events are the major obstacle to the widespread use of warfarin for secondary stroke prevention. Previous studies have not examined the use of risk stratification scores to estimate lifetime bleeding risk associated with warfarin treatment in a population-based setting. The purpose of this study is to determine the lifetime risk of bleeding events in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing warfarin treatment in a population-based cohort and to evaluate the use of bleeding risk scores to identify patients at high risk for lifetime bleeding events.Methods: The resources of the R...

The Effects of Citicoline on Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Review
Early reopening of the occluded artery is, thus, important in ischemic stroke, and it has been calculated that 2 million neurons die every minute in an ischemic stroke if no effective therapy is given; therefore, “Time is Brain.” In massive hemispheric infarction and edema, surgical decompression lowers the risk of death or severe disability defined as a modified Rankin Scale score greater than 4 in selected patients. The majority, around 80%-85% of all ischemic stroke victims, does not fulfill the criteria for revascularization therapy, and also for these patients, there is no effective acute therapy. Also there is no...

Rationale and design of the AXIOMATIC-SSP phase II trial: Antithrombotic treatment with factor XIa inhibition to Optimize Management of Acute Thromboembolic events for Secondary Stroke Prevention
Early stroke occurrence after ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) remains a significant risk despite advances in secondary prevention. Ischemic stroke is largely a thromboembolic disease, and major efforts to reduce the early risk of recurrent stroke in patients with non-cardioembolic stroke have focused on antiplatelet strategies.1 Improvements in outcome have been associated with novel antiplatelet strategies, but significant residual risk of ischemic stroke and the potential for major bleeding, including intracranial hemorrhage, limit the effectiveness of these options.

Antithrombotic Management of Stroke Patients Before Colonoscopy
Conclusions: In this retrospective analysis, there was no significant difference in the occurrence of stroke, myocardial infarction, venous thromboembolism, and major bleeding between patients who had medications continued around the time of colonoscopy versus those who had temporary discontinuation. A prospective, randomized controlled study is warranted to further elucidate this issue.

Short-term Bleeding Events Observed with Clopidogrel Loading in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
Discussion: Contrary to our original hypothesis, patients with AIS receiving clopidogrel loading doses within 24 hours of symptom onset did not appear to experience a higher rate of new serious bleeding events during acute hospitalization when compared with patients who did not receive loading doses. The Platelet-Oriented Inhibition in New TIA and Minor Ischemic Stroke trial is expected to provide insight into the safety of clopidogrel loading as an acute intervention after cerebral ischemia.

A Narrative Review of Nonvitamin K Antagonist Oral Anticoagulant Use in Secondary Stroke Prevention
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, increases with age, predisposing elderly patients to an increased risk of embolic stroke. With an increasingly aged population the number of people who experience a stroke every year, overall global burden of stroke, and numbers of stroke survivors and related deaths continue to increase. Anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) reduces the risk of ischemic stroke in patients with AF; however, increased bleeding risk is well documented, particularly in the elderly.

Thrombocytopenia and In-hospital Mortality Risk among Ischemic Stroke Patients
Background: Thrombocytopenia has been associated with increased mortality in nonstroke conditions. Because its role in acute ischemic stroke is less well understood, we sought to determine whether thrombocytopenia at admission for acute ischemic stroke was associated with in-hospital mortality.Methods: We used data from a retrospective cohort of stroke patients (1998-2003) at 5 U.S. hospitals. Risk factors considered included conditions that can lead to thrombocytopenia (e.g., liver disease), increase bleeding risk (e.g., hemophilia), medications with antiplatelet effects (e.g., aspirin), and known predictors of mortality ...

Safety of Standard-dose (.9-mg/kg) Alteplase Intravenous Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Afro–Caribbeans, French West Indies
Conclusions: The excess hemorrhagic risk after standard-dose alteplase infusion into older Afro–Caribbean patients warrants further study to determine the possible role of cerebral microangiopathy and should be evaluated in different black populations.

Recurrent Stroke and Bleeding Events after Acute Cardioembolic Stroke —Analysis Using Japanese Healthcare Database from Acute-Care Institutions
To understand the reality of patients who experienced a cardioembolic stroke (CES) is important because of the high incidence of recurrent stroke and the need to account for bleeding risk in relation to the need for anticoagulation treatment. We elucidated the current real-world medical care in patients who had a CES and identified the risk factors for recurrent stroke.

Risk of Ischemic Stroke and Major Bleeding in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Cancer
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke. Cancer may increase the risk both of ischemic stroke and of bleeding. Less is known about risk of ischemic stroke and bleeding among cancer patients with AF, complicating the prevention of ischemic stroke in these patients. Methods: Register based cohort study comprising all Swedish patients hospitalized with a primary diagnosis of AF from July 1, 2005 until December 31, 2014. Patients with cancer diagnosis were compared to the rest of the cohort.

Factors affecting self-reported bleeding acceptance in acute ischemic stroke survivors on various types of antithrombotic therapy
Stroke causes long-term serious disability with global prevalence of 101 million people in 2019.1 Antithrombotic therapy is recommended for stroke secondary prevention depending on the acute ischemic stroke (AIS) subtype.2 One of the major causes of non-cardioembolic AIS is intracranial atherosclerosis, which requires single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT), mostly with aspirin.3,4 Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) may reduce the risk of non-cardioembolic stroke by 29% in AIS attributable to severe intracranial stenosis when used for a limited period of time.

Intra-arterial Thrombectomy versus Standard Intravenous Thrombolysis in Patients with Anterior Circulation Stroke Caused by Intracranial Arterial Occlusions: A Single-center Experience
Background: Severely impaired patients with persisting intracranial occlusion despite standard treatment with intravenous (IV) administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) or presenting beyond the therapeutic window for IV rtPA may be candidates for interventional neurothrombectomy (NT). The safety and efficacy of NT by the Penumbra System (PS) were compared with standard IV rtPA treatment in patients with severe acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large intracranial vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation.Methods: Consecutive AIS patients underwent a predefined treatment algorithm based on arri...
