Barriers and Enablers to Implementing Clinical Treatment Protocols for Fever, Hyperglycaemia, and Swallowing Dysfunction in the Quality in Acute Stroke Care (QASC) Project—A Mixed Methods Study
ABSTRACT BackgroundThe Quality in Acute Stroke Care (QASC) trial evaluated systematic implementation of clinical treatment protocols to manage fever, sugar, and swallow (FeSS protocols) in acute stroke care. This cluster‐randomised controlled trial was conducted in 19 stroke units in Australia. AimTo describe perceived barriers and enablers preimplementation to the introduction of the FeSS protocols and, postimplementation, to determine which of these barriers eventuated as actual barriers. MethodsPreimplementation: Workshops were held at the intervention stroke units (n = 10). The first workshop involved senior clinicia...

Capacity building and stroke risk assessment in Nigerian children with sickle cell anaemia
ConclusionEffective capacity building of middle level manpower is feasible and can provide a credible TCD screening service to communities with a high demand and a shortage of trained professionals. The pattern of TCD abnormalities seen in Africa are comparable to those obtained in several previous worldwide reports. Pediatr Blood Cancer © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract 267: Improving Inpatient Stroke Care by Implementing Stroke Units Across Health Systems Using an Improvement Collaborative Approach Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: This inter-provincial Quality Improvement Collaborative was successful in implementing and improving stroke units, and in improving best practice care of inpatient stroke patients. Critical success factors include the engagement of faculty from high-performing centers even if they exist outside the jurisdiction where improvement is sought, and the use of the 7-step framework for implementing stroke units.

Understanding the rise in cardiovascular diseases in Africa: harmonising H3Africa genomic epidemiological teams and tools.
Abstract Cardiovascular diseases, principally ischaemic heart disease and stroke, are the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity. Together with other non-communicable diseases, they account for more than 60% of global deaths and pose major social, economic and developmental challenges worldwide. In Africa, there is now compelling evidence that the major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors are on the rise, and so are the related fatal and non-fatal sequelae, which occur at significantly younger ages than seen in high-income countries. In order to tackle this rising burden of CVD, the H3Africa Cardio...

Cognitive Deficits of Large-Vessel and Small-Vessel Vascular Dementia (P6.238)
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with small-vessel VaD are more impaired than patients with large-vessel VaD in the patterns of cognitive deficits. Small-vessel VaD may contribute to cognitive decline by affecting language, visuospatial function and frontal/executive function.Study Supported by:Disclosure: Dr. Na has nothing to disclose.

Investigating preferences for support with life after stroke: a discrete choice experiment
We report the first investigation of patients' and family carers' preferences for community services after stroke using a discrete choice experiment (DCE). Methods: Two workshops with patients and family carers (n = 8) explored stroke experiences, identifying attributes important in shaping views about service design, and piloted data collection strategies. Attributes were group versus individual support; service provider; additional support for social and leisure activities; and the total time required to access services. Patients and family carers were recruited six months post stroke-onset (mean 331 days) from four stro...

The effect of a national quality improvement collaborative on prehospital care for acute myocardial infarction and stroke in England
Conclusions: This first national prehospital QIC led to significant improvements in ambulance care for AMI and stroke in England. The use of care bundles as measures, clinical engagement, application of quality improvement methods, provider prompts, individualized feedback and opportunities for learning and interaction within and across organizations helped the collaborative to achieve its aims.

Diagnosis and classification of the antiphospholipid syndrome.
Abstract The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is defined by the occurrence of venous and arterial thromboses, often multiple, and recurrent fetal losses, frequently accompanied by a moderate thrombocytopenia, in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Some estimates indicate that the incidence of the APS is around 5 new cases per 100,000 persons per year and the prevalence around 40-50 cases per 100,000 persons. The aPL are positive in approximately 13% of patients with stroke, 11% with myocardial infarction, 9.5% of patients with deep vein thrombosis and 6% of patients with pregnancy morbidity. The orig...

Quality in Acute Stroke Care (QASC): process evaluation of an intervention to improve the management of fever, hyperglycemia, and swallowing dysfunction following acute stroke
BackgroundOur randomized controlled trial of a multifaceted evidence‐based intervention for improving the inpatient management of fever, hyperglycemia, and swallowing dysfunction in the first three‐days following stroke improved outcomes at 90 days by 15%. We designed a quantitative process evaluation to further explain and illuminate this finding. MethodsBlinded retrospective medical record audits were undertaken for patients from 19 stroke units prior to and following the implementation of three multidisciplinary evidence‐based protocols (supported by team‐building workshops, and site‐based education and suppor...

NINDS epilepsy and autism spectrum disorders workshop report
The association of epilepsy and autism spectrum disorders (ASD), although well-recognized, is poorly understood. The purpose of this report is to summarize the discussion of a workshop sponsored by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, with support from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Autism Speaks, and Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy, that took place in Bethesda, Maryland, on May 29 and 30, 2012. The goals of this workshop were to highlight the clinical and biological relationships between ASD and epilepsy, to determine both short- and long-term goals that addr...
