Intravenous thrombolytic therapy for acute anterior ischemic stroke: Experience at the French Military Teaching Hospital in Toulon from 2003 to 2014.
CONCLUSION: After 12 years of practice, our stroke unit has produced results similar to those of the major clinical studies in terms of safety and efficacy. High NIHSS scores on admission and a lack of neurological improvement during the first 24h of thrombolysis due to failure of early recanalization were identified as independent predictive factors of poor functional outcomes.

Predictors and Prognoses of Hospitalization for Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis in the United States (P1.243)
Conclusions: One of every 67 stroke patients hospitalized in the US is diagnosed with CSVT. These CVST patients are more likely to be young, female, and white. Compared to other stroke patients, CVST patients have better clinical outcomes, but incur higher hospital charges.Disclosure: Dr. Banerjee has nothing to disclose.

Early Mobilization in Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Randomized Trial of Safety and Feasibility in a Public Hospital in Brazil
This report presents the feasibility and safety findings for the pilot phase of this trial. Methods: The primary outcomes were time to first mobilization, total duration of mobilization, complications during early mobilization, falls within 3 months, mortality within 3 months, and medical complications of immobility. We included adult patients with CT- or MRI-confirmed ischemic stroke within 48 h of symptom onset who were admitted from March to November 2012 to the acute vascular unit or general emergency unit of a large urban emergency department (ED) at the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre. The severity of the neuro...

Rate of Utilization and Determination of Withdrawal of Care among Acute Ischemic Stroke Patient Treated with Thrombolytics (P02.002)
CONCLUSIONS: Our results identify several individual and institution related factors that determine the use of "withdrawal of care" among thrombolytic treated ischemic stroke patients. The excessively high mortality and resource utilization mandates a more evidence based policy for "withdrawal of care" in these patients.Disclosure: Dr. Suri has nothing to disclose.

Thrombolytic Utilization in Ischemic Stroke Is Significantly Higher in US Hospitals with Neurology Residency Program (S02.006)
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke care at NR hospitals is associated with an increased thrombolytic utilization rate. The increased tPA utilization at NR between 2002-2006 may be related to the rapid increase in Primary Stroke Centers across the country.Disclosure: Dr. Moradiya has nothing to disclose.

Predictive Risk Factors of In-Hospital Mortality Following Acute Stroke in the United States: Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Database, 2006-2010 (P02.015)
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of in-hospital mortality is relatively high following acute stroke (8.42%). We identified multiple risk factors of in-hospital mortality in acute stroke patients. The strongest risk factor is the type stroke (hemorrhagic). The present finding suggests that patients at increased risk of mortality can be identified and additional treatment for prevention might be warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Naderi has nothing to disclose.
