Variables affecting Stroke Outcome for TPA received between 3 to 4.5 hours (P2.301)
Conclusions: Age, NIHSS and renal dysfunction were significantly associated with worse outcome in patients who had received t-PA between 3 to 4.5 hours. Our findings were consistent but more robust than previous studies showing poorer outcome with renal dysfunction (Meta-analysis OR1.06 NS). After controlling for age and NIHSS, diabetes or hypertension did not additionally contribute to poor outcome. Prognostic and risk stratification scales are useful as predictors of outcome but do not imply efficacy of t-PA therapy or lack thereof.Disclosure: Dr. Yeo has nothing to disclose.

HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor (Statin) Prescribing for Ischemic Stroke Patients at Hospital Discharge (P2.306)
Conclusions: Our observations suggest that neurologists may be more likely to prescribe a statin at the time of discharge for whites in group 3 (diabetics age 40-75 with LDL 70-189 without ASCVD) when compared to their black counterparts. Further research is needed to determine if racial disparities exist in discharge statin prescribing for stroke survivors.Disclosure: Dr. Albright has nothing to disclose.

Association of black race with recurrent stroke risk (s4.001)
Conclusion: Recent ischemic stroke patients of Black race almost 60[percnt] more likely to experience a recurrent stroke within 2 years than their White race counterparts, but this risk is likely mediated through several stroke risk factors. These results underscore a need to optimize and sustain control of stroke risk factors among recent Black stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Park has nothing to disclose.

Primary Stroke Prevention in Women (S4.006)

Recanalization of Cerebral Arterial Occlusion Just Before Emergent Angiography (P2.334)
Conclusions:Our result suggests that spontaneous or tPA induced ultra-early recanalization might occur already before interventional angiography and forecast favorable outcome. This recanalization more frequently develop within the initial few hours of stroke onset.Disclosure: Dr. Rha has nothing to disclose. Dr. Park has nothing to disclose.

Atrial Fibrillations Effect on the Rate of Ischemic Stroke, Death and Disability in Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (P1.256)
Conclusion: There are significantly decreased rates of favorable outcomes in subarachnoid hemorrhage patients with atrial fibrillation. Further studies are warranted to better understand the associated factors.Disclosure: Dr. Hassan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Afzal has nothing to disclose. Dr. Chaudhry has nothing to disclose.

Alcoholism and In-Hospital Mortality among Hemorrhagic Stroke Patients in Puerto Rico (P1.263)
Conclusions: The adjusted OR of 3.18 suggests a positive association and in-patient hemorrhagic stroke mortality. However the small sample size and low power limit the ability to delineate a clear statistical association, thereby warranting further study into this subject matter as alcoholism is a modifiable risk factor and early interventions may lower hemorrhagic stroke mortality in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Smirnoff has nothing to disclose.

Outcomes After Thrombolysis for Acute Ischemic Stroke for Adults 65 and Older: A Nationwide Inpatient Sample Analysis (P1.267)
Conclusions: This analysis suggests clinical outcomes for older adult patients who receive IVtPA for AIS are worse compared to those who do not. Nuanced investigation must be done to confirm findings, and to address potential changes in current treatment strategies for this population.Disclosure: Dr. Song has nothing to disclose.

Incidence of Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults, a 4 Year Retrospective Review from an Urban Tertiary Care Center in North Philadelphia (P3.232)
Conclusions: The incidence of Ischemic Stroke in this cohort is much higher than that reported in other observational studies. Despite an extensive work up, a cause was not found in the majority of patients. These data support the need for a more in depth investigation of the causes of stroke in the young in urban, underserved communities. Standard of care diagnostic tests fail to explain the unusually high incidence of Ischemic Stroke in this cohort.Disclosure: Dr. Pirastehfar has nothing to disclose. Dr. Katz has nothing to disclose.

Facial Colliculus and Opalski Stroke Syndromes Caused by Vertebral Artery Dissection. Case Report (P4.349)
Conclusion: Brainstem stroke syndromes are challenging to localize before brain imaging. In this case two embolic strokes happened. The first in the right facial colliculus causing the right 6th and 7th cranial nerves palsy. The second happened in the left lateral medulla extending below the pyramidal decussation causing a classical left lateral medullary syndrome with ipsilateral hemiparesis, which constitute a left Opalski stroke syndrome.Disclosure: Dr. Alghamdi has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Due to Air Embolism Related to Laser Ablation of Accessory Vein (P4.357)
Conclusions: Air embolism leading to devastating stroke may occur few hours after laser treatment of varicose veins. Chest symptoms associated with the procedure should raise the possibility of air embolism. Immediate therapeutic measures like 100[percnt] oxygen, hyperbaric oxygen chamber and/or hypothermia should be considered to prevent neurologic complications.Disclosure: Dr. Kale has nothing to disclose.

White Matter Hyperintensity in Patients with Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Correlates with Higher Coated-Platelet Levels (P3.323)
Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that increased platelet procoagulant potential and age are significant predictors for the presence of WMH in mTBI, many years after the injury. Additional studies aimed at determining the long-term impact of these findings is warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Prodan has received research support from the Veterans Affairs Office.
