Short-Term Functional Outcome and its Predictors in a Hospital-Based Cohort of Nigerians with Acute Stroke (P5.171)
CONCLUSIONS: About 1 in 3 stroke patients in this cohort had poor functional outcome. In order to improve functional outcome and reduce the burden of stroke in Nigeria, public health education on early recognition and hospital presentation is needed. In acute stroke management, complications should be prevented while speech and language therapy should be instituted to improve functional outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Wahab has nothing to disclose.

Medication Self-Administration after Stroke (P5.181)
Conclusion: Stroke patients performed poorly on the HMS, and though performance improved after medication education, this may be related to spontaneous stroke recovery. MSA problems, assessed by HMS performance, may strongly predict post-acute care needs. Funded by: NJ Brain Injury Commission and Kessler FoundationDisclosure: Dr. Oyawusi has nothing to disclose.

If I had a stroke in 2015.
Abstract The management of stroke is now recognized as a real medical emergency as well as myocardial infarct, because we have now an efficacious treatment in cerebral infarct, intravenous fibrinolysis that decreases the risk of death and motor and cognitive handicap. The second characteristic is its very important frequency, and its risk that increases in young people. This medical emergency enforces the care systems because it needs a speedy network for the patient, his family and the care professionals, useful for intravenous fibrinolysis before 3hours after 80 years and before 4hours and a half before 80years...

Patients' responses to transient ischaemic attack symptoms: a cross-sectional questionnaire study in Australian general practices.
CONCLUSION: Most general practice attendees expressed intentions to seek health care urgently for most symptoms suggestive of TIA, with highest levels of urgency observed in high stroke-risk scenarios. Intentions were not associated with a number of major risk factors for TIA and might be improved by further educational interventions, either targeted or at population level.

Anatomical predictors of aphasia recovery: a tractography study of bilateral perisylvian language networks
Stroke-induced aphasia is associated with adverse effects on quality of life and the ability to return to work. For patients and clinicians the possibility of relying on valid predictors of recovery is an important asset in the clinical management of stroke-related impairment. Age, level of education, type and severity of initial symptoms are established predictors of recovery. However, anatomical predictors are still poorly understood. In this prospective longitudinal study, we intended to assess anatomical predictors of recovery derived from diffusion tractography of the perisylvian language networks. Our study focused o...

Stroke Mortality And Its Predictors In Nigeria: Results Of A Hospital-Based Study (I10-1.008)
Conclusion: The 30-day case fatality rate among our stroke patients is high while the independent predictors of this outcome are severity of stroke on admission and presence of complications. Continuing health education of the public on stroke recognition and the need for early hospital presentation is necessary while optimal management of cases in a stroke care unit is advocated in order to improve outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Wahab has nothing to disclose.

Predictors of Recovery of Chronic Aphasia (P6.228)

Stroke Survivors with Aphasia May Overestimate Communication Skills: Survivor versus Caregiver Report (S45.001)
ConclusionsStroke survivors with aphasia can give information on their own communication skills with the Communicative Effectiveness Index_this information may be very useful for therapy planning. However, cognitive anosognosia may prevent this information from being fully objective. Specific counseling to survivors and caregivers may help prevent differences in communication perception from becoming barriers to care. Future research should also explore whether current aphasia treatment.is effective at evaluating and addressing self-awareness of communication ability.Supported by: Kessler Foundation, O’Brien Technolo...

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...

Early Aphasia Rehabilitation Is Associated With Functional Reactivation of the Left Inferior Frontal Gyrus: A Pilot Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Early poststroke aphasia treatment is useful, has durable effects, and may lead to early enhanced recruitment of brain areas, particularly the left inferior frontal gyrus, which persists in the chronic phase.

Aphasia and swallowing problems in subjects with incident stroke in rural northern Tanzania: a case-control study.
Conclusions: This is the first attempt to describe aphasia incidence in a sub-Saharan African language. Further work on the psychometric properties of the screening instrument is warranted. Given that it delivers a relatively coarse indication of language disturbance, it is likely that incidence of aphasia in the current cohort is underestimated. PMID: 24521840 [PubMed - in process]

Survivor gives us a lens into regional systems of care for acute ischemic stroke in North Dakota
I just got back from the North Dakota Mission: Lifeline STEMI and Acute Stroke Conference in Bismark, ND. I had a great time and I learned a lot. I often get asked to speak in various venues about acute STEMI and 12-lead ECG interpretation, but for this conference they wanted me to talk mostly about stroke. That turned out to be a good thing because it forced me to read the 2013 AHA / ASA Guildelines for the Early Management of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke to make sure I was asking intelligent questions during the panel discussion (which I moderated) and also giving accurate information for the class I taught about ...

'Masterstroke: a pilot group stroke prevention program for community dwelling stroke survivors'.
Conclusions: Participation in the Masterstroke program for community dwelling stroke survivors resulted in significant improvements in knowledge, functional balance, dietary behaviours and quality of life. Qualitative interviews support the participants' implementation of lifestyle changes essential for reducing risks of secondary stroke. Results support the utilisation of this model and warrants rigorous investigation regarding long-term impacts of an education and exercise program on community dwelling stroke survivors.

Long-term prognosis of aphasia after stroke
Conclusions The outcome of aphasia at 1 year after stroke can be predicted in the first week by the phonology score, the Barthel Index score, age, educational level and stroke subtype, with phonology being the strongest predictor.
