Alcoholism and In-Hospital Mortality among Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients in Puerto Rico (P1.263)
Conclusions: The adjusted OR of 3.18 suggests a positive association and in-patient hemorrhagic stroke mortality. However the small sample size and low power limit the ability to delineate a clear statistical association, thereby warranting further study into this subject matter as alcoholism is a modifiable risk factor and early interventions may lower hemorrhagic stroke mortality in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Smirnoff has nothing to disclose.

Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Recent Trend and Predictors. (P6.040)
CONCLUSIONS:GIB is relatively known complication in setting of AIS. Decremental trend in recent years does not have any association with chemical or mechanical thrombolysis but instead was predicted by chronic altered metabolic states like NSAID use, alcohol abuse and Atrial fibrillation.Disclosure: Dr. Shah has nothing to disclose.

Olfactory and Gustatory Dysfunction and Subsequent Stroke Risk: A Community-Based Cohort Study (P1.107)
CONCLUSIONS: Olfactory and gustatory dysfunction was associated with increased short-term future risks of stroke. Further studies with larger sample size and objective measures of olfactory and gustatory function are warranted to confirm our findings.Disclosure: Dr. Ma has nothing to disclose.

Disparity in Decreased Age and Increased Incidence of Stroke in a Low-Income Chinese Population (P1.108)
Conclusions:Two disparities, which including decreased mean age of stroke onset and increased incidence, and decreased mean age of stroke onset and increased life expectancy were found in a low-income Chinese population, especially in men. These findings imply that stroke burden will continue to increase in China if the risk factors remain unchecked. Disclosure: Dr. Wang has nothing to disclose. Dr. Yang has nothing to disclose.

Healthy Lifestyle and Functional Outcomes from Stroke in Women (P1.111)
Conclusions: The highest versus lowest scores on the HLI were associated with reductions in risk of total and ischemic strokes with mild, moderate, and severe functional outcomes. The evidence that modest HLI scores reduced risks of total and ischemic stroke with moderate and severe functional outcomes suggests that even modest lifestyle changes may translate to reductions in risk of a disabling stroke event.

Pattern of Acute Stroke Presentation in a Young Tertiary Hospital in South-South, Nigeria: Appraisal of Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes (P1.118)
CONCLUSION: Stroke is associated with high mortality with patients presenting relatively young. Hemorrhagic stroke is common though ischemic stroke is still the commonest. Hypertension is the commonest risk factor. Family history of stroke and recurrent or history of previous stroke are also high.Disclosure: Dr. Obiabo has received personal compensation for activities with Novartis as a speaker.

Trends in Age of First-Ever Stroke Following Increased Incidence and Life Expectancy in a Low-Income Chinese Population Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The age of stroke onset tends to be younger among low-income population in China after the dramatic increased incidence of stroke during the gradual extension of life expectancy of population in China. These findings suggested that stroke burden will continue to increase in the long time, unless the risk factors in low-income populations are effectively controlled.

A systematic review of the risks factors associated with the onset and natural progression of epilepsy.
Abstract Epilepsy is a neurological condition that affects more than 50 million individuals worldwide. It presents as unpredictable, temporary and recurrent seizures often having negative physical, psychological and social consequences. To inform disease prevention and management strategies, a comprehensive systematic review of the literature on risk factors for the onset and natural progression of epilepsy was conducted. Computerized bibliographic databases for systematic reviews, meta-analyses, observational studies and genetic association studies published between 1990 and 2013 describing etiological risk facto...
