As some hail new antibody treatment for Alzheimer ’s, safety and benefit questions persist
In a packed San Francisco conference room with a celebratory atmosphere, upbeat company representatives and scientists yesterday presented detailed clinical trial data on the first Alzheimer’s treatment shown to clearly, albeit modestly, slow the disease’s normal cognitive decline. The antibody therapy has buoyed a field marked by decades of failures. Now, it appears to be on the cusp of being greenlit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Yet other researchers warn of potential risks, including brain swelling and brain hemorrhages that were linked to the recently disclosed deaths of two trial participants wh...

E-191 Influence of socioeconomic factors on the development of post-stroke depression in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage survivors
ConclusionThe overall risk of developing a new depression disorder after aSAH was 16% in this retrospective study. The female sex was close to 4 times and substance use were six and half time more likely to develop new depressive symptoms; therefore, these risk factors should be considered when screening patients for depression after aSAH.Disclosures D.

National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Correlates Well with Initial Intracerebral Hemorrhage Volume
The US Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) currently publicly reports hospital-quality, risk-adjusted mortality measure for ischemic stroke but not intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The NIHSS, which is captured in CMS administrative claims data, is a candidate metric for use in ICH risk adjustment and has been shown to predict clinical outcome with accuracy similar to the ICH Score. Correlation between early NIHSS and initial ICH volume would further support use of the NIHSS for ICH risk adjustment.

Predictors of 30-day hospital readmission after mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: The study data demonstrate that hypertension, length of hospital stay, and hemorrhagic conversion were predictors of 30-day hospital readmission in stroke patients after mechanical thrombectomy. Infection was the most common cause of 30-day readmission, followed by cardiac and cerebrovascular diagnoses. These results therefore may serve to identify patients within the stroke population who require increased surveillance following discharge to reduce complications and unplanned readmissions.

Identification of reversible causes of minority inequity in stroke: severity related to race and socio-economic status.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who are uninsured minorities may be at an increased risk for severe strokes. This increase in risk appears to be related to the increased incidence of risk factors and lack of treatment. The lack of funds, care access, and limited education in these patients may be related to their increase in risk factors. This paper identifies potentially reversible environmental and societal factors that can lead to improved outcomes in indigent minority patients. PMID: 30325276 [PubMed - in process]

Early transition to comfort measures only in acute stroke patients: Analysis from the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke registry
Conclusions: Early CMO was utilized in about 5% of stroke patients, being more common in ICH and SAH than IS. Early CMO use varies widely between hospitals and is influenced by patient and hospital characteristics.

Differences in Use of High-quality and Low-quality Hospitals Among Working-age Individuals by Insurance Type
Background: Research suggests that individuals with Medicaid or no insurance receive fewer evidence-based treatments and have worse outcomes than those with private insurance for a broad range of conditions. These differences may be due to patients’ receiving care in hospitals of different quality. Research Design: We used the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project State Inpatient Databases 2009–2010 data to identify patients aged 18–64 years with private insurance, Medicaid, or no insurance who were hospitalized with acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, pneumonia, stroke, or gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Mul...

Characteristics of Accredited Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound Laboratories in the United States
CONCLUSIONSThe results suggest that there are significant differences between IAC applicant laboratories and laboratories represented by Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) claims data. In addition, accurate study reporting, physician training, and ongoing quality improvement activities may not be optimized in laboratories applying for accreditation. With the information learned from this study, educational strategies by professional organizations, including the IAC, can be tailored to help improve TCD practice.

Ethnic Comparison of 30-Day Potentially Preventable Readmissions After Stroke in Hawaii Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— In Hawaii, Chinese may have a higher risk of 30-day PPR after stroke compared with whites. However, this seems to be driven by the high number of repeated PPR within the Chinese ethnic group.
