RWD76 Using Real World Data to Quantify Risk Factors for Ischemic Stroke in Colombia

We explored this database to establish different diagnoses that have been associated, during a five-year period, with ischemic stroke, and to quantify the magnitude of their statistical association.

Health risk assessment for particulate matter: application of AirQ+ model in the northern Caribbean region of Colombia
AbstractAir pollution is considered the world ’s most important environmental and public health risk. The annual exposure for particulate matter (PM) in the northern Caribbean region of Colombia between 2011 and 2019 was determined using PM records from 25 monitoring stations located within the area. The impact of exposure to particulate matt er was assessed through the updated Global Burden of Disease health risk functions using the AirQ+ model for mortality attributable to acute lower respiratory disease (in children ≤ 4 years); mortality in adults aged > 18 years old attributable to chronic obstructi...

Clinical perspective in relation to age in patients treated with thrombectomy for anterior circulation stroke in a stroke center in Colombia
CONCLUSIONS: Age younger than 80 is a significant predictor for results and long-term outcomes in patients suffering from stroke, and in patients older than 80 years old a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2b-3 is a predictor of good outcomes. Further studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between intrahospital complications and long-term outcomes.PMID:36751025 | DOI:10.1177/15910199231153195

Ischemic stroke in young patients in Medell ín, Colombia
CONCLUSIONS: The high frequency of traditional risk factors in young patients highlights the need to optimize primary and secondary prevention plans. This study provides new insights about the relevance of illicit substance abuse in Colombia as a cause of stroke in young patients, unlike the previous one conducted in Bogotá. Infectious causes were other peculiarities found. It is necessary to investigate the reasons for the high proportion of undetermined causes.PMID:36138366 | DOI:10.1186/s12883-022-02895-9

Budgetary impact analysis of alteplase - recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) - as a thrombolytic treatment for acute ischemic stroke in Colombia
CONCLUSIONS: Doubling the number of patients with AIS who are thrombolyzed would lead to reductions in the number of patients with sequelae and would require a budgetary effort of 5.5-7.0%. The early initiation of treatment (0-180minutes) gives an additional benefit in reducing the number of sequelae and a lower budgetary impact than initiation within the last time window (181-270minutes).PMID:35702977 | DOI:10.1080/14737167.2022.2089655
