NIHSS Score May Help Predict Health Literacy Levels after Acute Ischemic Stroke (P7.158)
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that there may be an association between the NIHSS score and HL levels in patients hospitalized with AIS. Additional studies incorporating a larger number of patients are warranted to discern if this is a true association. Patient NIHSS score might be a factor healthcare professionals can utilize to help identify hospitalized AIS patients who require intensive stroke risk reduction education.Study Supported by:University of Florida COM - Jacksonville Dean's GrantDisclosure: Dr. Sanders has received personal compensation for activities with Biogen Idec.

Basal ganglia stroke and apathy: a clinico-radiological study (P7.136)
CONCLUSIONS: Apathy is more prevalent and more severe in patients with bilateral basal ganglia stroke suggesting that damage to bilateral circuits play a role in clinical apathy.

Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the REGARDS Study (P7.138)
CONCLUSIONS:Our study of unselected US hospitals showed low tPA utilization. Documented reasons for non-use were suboptimal with the lowest among patients not evaluated by a stroke team. Our sample was not limited to hospitals participating in national quality improvement programs, thus increasing generalizability. Strategies that focus on earlier hospital arrival and educating both the public and healthcare field to increase tPA utilization are urgently needed.Disclosure: Dr. Sands has nothing to disclose.

Educating Caregivers to Reduce Complications and Improve Outcomes of Stroke Patients (ECCOS) – A Cluster-Randomized Trial
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity.1,2 Post-stroke complications were found to be significant predictors of mortality and morbidity.3-9 Patients treated in organized stroke units had better results,10 partly attributed to prevention of complications.11 As India has a limited number of stroke units,12 most stroke patients are managed in general wards potentially leading to sub-optimal outcomes.13

Insurance Status and Outcome after Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Findings from Get With The Guidelines-Stroke
Backgound: Few studies have examined associations among insurance status, treatment, and outcomes in patients hospitalized for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods: Through retrospective analyses of the Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-Stroke database, a national prospective stroke registry, from April 2003 to April 2011, we identified 95,986 nontransferred subjects hospitalized with ICH. Insurance status was categorized as Private/Other, Medicaid, Medicare, or None/Not Documented (ND). Associations between insurance status and in-hospital outcomes and quality of care measures were analyzed using patient- and hospital-spec...

Translation of the ‘time is brain’ concept into clinical practice: Focus on prehospital stroke management
Acute stroke is one of the main causes of death and chronic disability. Thrombolysis with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator within the first hours after onset of symptoms is an effective therapeutic option for ischemic stroke. However, fewer than 2% to 7% of patients receive this treatment, primarily because most patients reach the hospital too late for the initiation of successful therapy. Several measures can reduce detrimental delay until treatment. It is of importance to use continual public awareness campaigns to reduce delays in patients' alarm of emergency medical services. Further relevant measures are repet...

Aspirin plus clopidogrel in acute minor ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack is superior to aspirin alone for stroke risk reduction: CHANCE trial
Commentary on: Wang Y, Wang Y, Zhao X, et al.. Clopidogrel with aspirin in acute minor stroke or transient ischemic attack. N Engl J Med 2013;369:11–19. Context Combination therapy with aspirin added to clopidogrel has had a disappointing record in the prevention of recurrent stroke. The management of atherothrombosis with clopidogrel in high-risk patients (MATCH)1 and the secondary prevention of small subcortical strokes (SPS3)2 randomised controlled trials (RCTs) showed that combination therapy was not more effective than clopidogrel or aspirin alone, but was associated with two to three times the risk of major or ...

Testing devices for the prevention and treatment of stroke and its complications
We are entering a challenging but exciting period when many new interventions may appear for stroke based on the use of devices. Hopefully these will lead to improved outcomes at a cost that can be afforded in most parts of the world. Nevertheless, it is vital that lessons are learnt from failures in the development of pharmacological interventions (and from some early device studies), including inadequate preclinical testing, suboptimal trial design and analysis, and underpowered studies. The device industry is far more disparate than that seen for pharmaceuticals; companies are very variable in size and experience in str...
