Comparison of On-hour vs Off-hour Patient Cohorts at a Primary Stroke Center: Onset-To-Treatment Duration and Clinical Outcomes after IV Thrombolysis (S21.005)
CONCLUSIONS: We found no significant differences in OTT durations, stroke severity, or stroke outcomes between patients whose symptoms originated during on-hours vs off-hours. This represents progress in emergency response, recognition and acute stroke care delivered by our Emergency Department staff and acute stroke team on a 24 hour basis and likely reflects nationwide efforts to provide consistent care for acute stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Nystrom has nothing to disclose.

The Discharge Modified Rankin Scale Score Correlates with Established Hemorrhagic Transformation Scores in Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Thrombolysis (P7.118)
Conclusions: Discharge MRS scores showed robust agreement with at least 3 HT scores known to predict long-term functional outcomes after IV rt-PA therapy. Therefore, readily available discharge MRS scores may be useful indicator of patients requiring closer follow-up after IV rt-PA therapy.Disclosure: Dr. Asuzu has nothing to disclose.

Characteristics of post ‐stroke dysphagia: A retrospective study based on FEES
ConclusionsThe infratentorial stroke may lead to worse swallowing function as compared to a supratentorial stroke. Additionally, patients with infratentorial stroke, PAS  >  5, PR ≥ 3, or vocal fold motion impairment may contribute to a longer duration of nasogastric tube placement.

Age and the metabolic syndrome as risk factors for ischemic stroke: improving preclinical models of ischemic stroke.
Authors: Lucke-Wold BP, Turner RC, Lucke-Wold AN, Rosen CL, Huber JD Abstract Ischemic stroke represents a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the developed world. This disabling and sometimes fatal event puts an ever increasing burden on the family members and medical professionals who care for stroke victims. Preclinical ischemic stroke research has predominantly utilized young adult, healthy animals, a clear discrepancy when considering the clinical population affected by stroke. A broad spectrum of risk factors such as age, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension has been associated with an increased stroke...

Why John Fetterman Needs Closed Captioning Technology After His Stroke
Five months after the Democratic nominee in one of the nation’s most competitive Senate races suffered a stroke, there’s still a lot to learn about his recovery. In the final weeks of the Pennsylvania Senate campaign, a key Republican attack against the state’s lieutenant governor, John Fetterman, has centered on his use of closed-captioning technology, which translates audio into text on a screen in real-time. He relied on the technology during an interview conducted Friday with NBC News, his first in-person, on-camera sit-down since his stroke in May. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “...

"I Had A Stroke at 38 Years Old"
How one woman turned a life-changing event into an opportunity to thrive. As told to Kristin Canning By Kristin Canning, SELF (Photo: Courtesy of Merideth Gilmor) I wasn't supposed to have a stroke. I was 38 years old, a mom in "perfect" health. I run my own pro-athlete public relations firm, so I have to stay on pace with the likes of Maria Sharapova, Cam Newton and Colin Kaepernick. I was under stress, sure, but I was happy, enjoying my crazy, packed days. It happened about a year ago. One of my best friends was getting married in the Berkshire Mountains, so I flew from Charlotte, North Carolina, where I'd been on busin...

Prior Stroke and Age Predict Acute Ischemic Stroke Among Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients: A Derivation and Validation Study
Conclusions: Hospitalized COVID-19 patients who demonstrate a neurologic symptom and have either a history of prior stroke or are of younger age are at higher risk of ischemic stroke.

Time to Target Stroke: Examining the Circadian System in Stroke.
Authors: Stubblefield JJ, Lechleiter JD Abstract Stroke is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of long-term disability. Ischemic strokes account for 87 percent of total stroke cases, yet the only FDA-approved treatments involve disruption of the blood clot to restore blood flow. New treatments aimed at saving or protecting neural tissue have largely failed in clinical trials and so new methodology or targets must be found. The occurrence of strokes significantly increases between 6 AM and 12 PM, implicating the circadian system in the onset of this debilitating brain injury. But ...

The effects of a dialogue-based intervention to promote psychosocial well-being after stroke: a randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: The results of this trial did not demonstrate lower levels of emotional distress and anxiety or higher levels of health-related quality of life in the intervention group (dialogue-based intervention) as compared to the control group (usual care) at 12 months post-stroke.

HAT Score Outperforms 7 Other Hemorrhagic Transformation Scores in Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Thrombolysis (P3.109)
Conclusions: HAT score yielded the highest odds ratio among the 4 scores that accurately predicted sICH in our independent dataset. HAT score also had low computational complexity compared to other scores. Our results demonstrate the potential utility of the HAT score as a predictor of adverse clinical outcome for acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing IV thrombolytic therapy.Disclosure: Dr. Asuzu has nothing to disclose.

Effect of a dialogue-based intervention on psychosocial well-being 6 months after stroke in Norway: A randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSION: Psychosocial well-being improved during the first 6 months after stroke in both arms of the trial, but no statistically significant benefit of the dialogue-based intervention was found compared with usual care. PMID: 31411337 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Missed Opportunities for Recognition of Ischemic Stroke in the Emergency Department
Introduction: Evidence suggests that a significant number of patients discharged from the hospital with a diagnosis of ischemic stroke are not identified as having a stroke on admission. Those presenting with “nontraditional” stroke symptoms may be less likely to be diagnosed correctly. We aimed to establish whether there was an association between symptom presentation and diagnostic accuracy and to identify the type and frequency of nontraditional symptoms that resulted in a missed diagnosis in the emergency department.Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 189 patients discharged with a diagnosis of ischemic str...

Risk of Acute Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Monocular Vision Loss of Vascular Etiology
Conclusions: Patients with MVL of vascular etiology such as TMVL, CRAO, or BRAO may have up to 19.5% risk of concurrent ischemic stroke, even when there are no other neurologic deficits. These strokes were detected acutely with brain MRI using DWI but were missed on CT.
