IV tPA Utilization and Outcomes in Asian Americans (P3.103)
Conclusions:We confirmed U.S. ethnic differences in IV tPA utilization and found that Asians have lower rates of tPA treatment compared with Whites but higher rates than Blacks of Hispanics. Asians also have higher rates of hemorrhage and in-hospital death following tPA. These findings are limited by lack of data on stroke severity, mechanisms, and treatment times.Disclosure: Dr. Moya has nothing to disclose. Dr. Chong has nothing to disclose.

Time from Consult Page to Tissue Plasminogen Activator Over Telemedicine Decreases with Experience (P3.105)
Conclusions:TPA metrics improve with increasing number of telestroke consults for neurovascular fellows and neurovascular attendings.

Disability and mortality after permanent feeding tube placement in patients with acute stroke (P3.107)
Conclusions:In our large cohort of patients with acute stroke and PEG tubes, nearly 9/10 had severe disability at discharge. From discharge to 1 year, there was no difference in mortality between PEG and NG patient cohorts. These results suggest that PEG tubes serve mainly to prolong survival in patients discharged with severe disability. Our study may help support guideline creation and facilitate discussions with patients and families regarding PEG tube placement after acute stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Joundi has nothing to disclose.
