Interactive Voice Response_A Novel Approach to Post-Stroke Depression Monitoring (P7.130)
Conclusions: Stroke patients with depressive symptoms were able and willing to engage in IVR symptom monitoring and the burden on the health team was minimal. Future studies are needed to understand why subjects dropped out of the intervention and to explore the efficacy of this approach.Disclosure: Dr. Rusche-Skolarus has nothing to disclose.

Explanatory factors for the increased mortality of stroke patients with depression
Conclusion: Depression after stroke is associated with higher mortality, particularly among younger patients. Stroke survivors taking SSRIs have an increased mortality. The association between depression and mortality is not explained by other individual medical factors.

90 Day Outcomes in Stroke/Transient Ischemic Attack Patients Receiving Initial or Follow-up Care in a Comprehensive Outpatient Stroke Center (P3.120)
CONCLUSIONS: The completion of diagnostic evaluation and implementation or adjustment of treatments including optimizing antiplatelet therapy or changing to coumadin when cardiac monitoring demonstrates atrial fibrillation in a timely manner has resulted in better than expected outcomes. We feel this is due to "closing the loop" in the episode of care.Disclosure: Dr. Bates has nothing to disclose. Dr. Westphal has nothing to disclose. Dr. Rainka has nothing to disclose.

Basal ganglia stroke and apathy: a clinico-radiological study (P7.136)
CONCLUSIONS: Apathy is more prevalent and more severe in patients with bilateral basal ganglia stroke suggesting that damage to bilateral circuits play a role in clinical apathy. The posterior limb of the internal capsule seems to be involved in pathological apathy process. Relation of apathy with depression will be discussed.Disclosure: Dr. THOMAS has nothing to disclose.

Cognition and major depression after frontal and cerebellar stroke (P7.133)
CONCLUSIONS: Results in individuals with frontal lobe CVA were consistent with previous studies showing associations between cognition and depression in other neurologic disease. Disconnection and disruption in brain regions involving both emotion regulation and cognition may explain these associations. Alternatively, or simultaneously, depression may transiently impair cognitive test performance after frontal lobe stroke. Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Dulay has nothing to disclose.

Have clinicians adopted the use of brain MRI for patients with TIA and minor stroke?
Conclusions: Within a national health system, about 40% of patients with TIA/minor stroke had MRI performed within 2 days. Performance of MRI appeared to be influenced by several patient and facility-level variables, suggesting that there has been partial acceptance of the previous guideline that endorsed MRI for patients with TIA.

Stroke risk factors, post stroke anxiety and neurocognitive function (s36.003)
Conclusions:As in other contexts, the prevalence of clinically significant anxiety after stroke in this low income population is high. It is frequently co-morbid with depression and associated with cognitive impairment in stroke survivors.Study Supported by:National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS-U01 NS079179) and GACD.Disclosure: Dr. Owolabi has nothing to disclose.

Effect of Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) Endovascular Closure on Stroke Quality of Life (P4.229)
Conclusion: PFO stroke patients have improved quality of life after PFO closure as measured by validated quantitative anxiety and depression scales under multi-disciplinary care. Patient’s stress hormone levels were also lowered post PFO closure. These findings demonstrate the importance of a multi-disciplinary approach to stroke patient care, and individualizing care in younger stroke patients. Longer term future studies are needed to understand the effect of PFO closure vs multi-disciplinary specialized care.Study Supported by: NIH/NINDSDisclosure: Dr. K has nothing to disclose.

A Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Patients Undergoing Intensive Inpatient Rehabilitation after Acute Stroke (P3.308)

Measuring Health-Related Quality Of Life (HRQOL) During Inpatient Stroke Rehabilitation (S21.002)
CONCLUSIONS: EQ-5 ratings converged between stroke survivors and clinicians, suggesting it is valid and reliable to measure moderate stroke survivor HRQOL in inpatient rehabilitation. EQ-5 and FIM improvement were poorly associated; HRQOL may independently complement functional outcome assessment in inpatient rehabilitation. Future studies could explore different areas of function to clarify the factor structure of improvement on these measures relative to HRQL.Study Supported by: NIH, Kessler FoundationDisclosure: Dr. Frisina has received personal compensation for activities with Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation as an...
