Body Mass Index and Stroke Subtype in a Young Adult Stroke Population (P7.126)
CONCLUSIONS: In our group of young adult stroke patients, we found the highest BMI in the group with intracranial atherosclerosis. Although this group represented a small number of patients, this young adult population is at increased risk for future strokes. It is important to educate them on lifestyle modifications such as weight loss and exercise in addition to the treatment of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.Disclosure: Dr. Youn has nothing to disclose.

Household Secondhand Smoke Exposure Confers Higher Stroke Risk and Poorer Stroke Prognosis (S42.005)
CONCLUSIONS: Household SHS is associated with a 1.5-fold increase in stroke risk and a 2-fold increase in mortality after stroke among never-smokers. While prospective studies are needed to assess causality, this study highlights the importance of obtaining SHS exposure history and counseling patients and their families on the potential impact of SHS on post-stroke outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Lin has nothing to disclose.

Prehospital stroke scales in urban environments: A systematic review
Conclusions: Prehospital stroke scales varied in their accuracy and missed up to 30% of acute strokes in the field. Inconsistencies in performance may be due to sample size disparity, variability in stroke scale training, and divergent provider educational standards. Although LAPSS performed more consistently, visual comparison of graphical analysis revealed that LAPSS and CPSS had similar diagnostic capabilities.

Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and mortality after stroke
Conclusion: Living in a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood is associated with higher mortality hazard at 1 year following an incident stroke.
