High free fatty acid level is associated with recurrent stroke in cardioembolic stroke patients
Conclusion: In this retrospective registry-based observational study, CE stroke seemed to be associated with elevated plasma level of FFA. In addition, the present study suggested that an elevated FFA concentration could be a useful indicator for predicting recurrent stroke in CE stroke patients.

Acute infection contributes to racial disparities in stroke mortality
Conclusions: Acute infection disproportionately increases the risk of stroke death for non-Hispanic blacks, independently of atrial fibrillation. Stroke incidence did not explain this finding. Acute infection appears to be one factor that contributes to the black–white disparity in stroke mortality.

Comparison of Hypercoagulable Evaluation in Perinatal and Pediatric Ischemic Stroke (P2.261)
Conclusion: Hypercoagulable studies remain under-utilized in the diagnostic evaluation of both perinatal and pediatric ischemic stroke, though more deficient perinatally in our institution. A standard protocol for both pediatric and perinatal patients with ischemic stroke is warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Doan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Barreto has nothing to disclose.

Stop Stroke(C) Acute Care Coordination Medical Application; a Brief Report on Post Implementation Performance at a Primary Stroke Center (P2.307)
Conclusions:In patients arriving to our primary stroke center with AIS, use of Pulsara Stop Stroke© acute care coordination application decreased mean DTN time by 40 minutes. This time reduction represents a significant 46[percnt] improvement in this metric and is consistent with previous studies of the app. We further observed a 3.7x improvement in DTN <60 minutes.Disclosure: Dr. Dickson has nothing to disclose.

Role of the Stroke Unit in Reducing the Medical and Neurological Complications Post Stroke in Patient Admitted at Royal Hospital from 2009-2015 (P2.318)
CONCLUSIONS: Medical complications that follow acute stroke not only influence mortality but may influence functional outcome. Stroke patients who receive organized inpatient care in a stroke unit are less likely to be developing medical complications post strokeDisclosure: Dr. Al-Hashmi has nothing to disclose.

Does Comprehensive Stroke Center Recommended Nurse Training Result in Earlier In-Hospital Stroke Recognition? (P2.324)
Conclusions:There was a delay in initiation of stroke alert in areas where staff did not receive extra training per CSC guidelines, though this did not reach significance due difference in sample size. Expanding the CSC training to all staff would benefit hospital-wide stroke alerts. More data is needed to confirm this.Disclosure: Dr. Gregath 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.

Acute Stroke Code Accuracy in the Inpatient Versus Emergency Department (ED) Setting (S16.003)
Conclusion FP were more common for inpatient versus ED codes AMS or SS were infrequently associated with stroke diagnosis. Better education for non-neuroscience hospital providers, regarding acute stroke criteria, is needed.Disclosure: Dr. Schneck has received research support from NIH (POINT, COSS, ARUBA, ALIAS, Lundbeck (DIAS4), TIMI-50 Consortium, and Local PI Multicenter Clincial trials.

Nurse-Activated Acute Stroke Codes in the Emergency Setting Improves Process and Clinical Outcomes (S16.006)
Conclusions: Nurse-activated stroke codes considerably improved both process and clinical outcomes in the ED setting. Triage protocols should be continually evaluated and adjusted to minimize crucial minutes in acute stroke treatment.Disclosure: Dr. Song has nothing to disclose. Dr. Diebolt has nothing to disclose.

Atorvastatin Treatment Is Associated with Increased BDNF Level and Improved Functional Recovery after Atherothrombotic Stroke (S31.007)
Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that atorvastatin treatment was associated with increased BDNF level and improved functional recovery after atherothrombotic stroke. This study indicates that atorvastatin-related elevation in BDNF may promote functional recovery in stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Zhang has nothing to disclose. Dr. Mu has nothing to disclose.

Prehospital systolic blood pressure is higher in acute stroke compared with stroke mimics
Conclusions: Prehospital SBP is higher in acute stroke relative to stroke mimics and highest in ICH. Given the stability of BP between initial EMS and ED measurements, it may be reasonable to test the feasibility and safety of prehospital antihypertensive therapy in patients with suspected acute stroke.

Relationship between admission serum bilirubin and severity of acute ischaemic stroke in a nigerian tertiary hospital (p1.259)
Conclusion:Patients with higher physiologic range of serum bilirubin had more severe stroke (higher NIHSS values), suggesting that higher bilirubin values at stroke onset might be a reflection of oxidative intensity.Disclosure: Dr. Ademiluyi has nothing to disclose.

Walk-in versus ems-prenotified stroke codes-time targets in a comprehensive stroke center (p1.271)
Conclusions:Walk-in strokes had significant delay in LKW to arrival, highlighting the need for community education in recognizing symptoms of stroke. People with larger strokes(higher NIHSS) tend to present via EMS. Significant delays in door to CT and stroke-code in walk-in strokes, demonstrates need for early stroke symptom recognition in the ER. EMS education and pre-notification improves likelihood of tPA administration.Disclosure: Dr. Kaur has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gudlavalleti has nothing to disclose.

Race/Ethnic Disparities for In-Hospital Mortality and Disability at Discharge after Acute Ischemic Stroke: Florida Puerto Rico Collaboration to Reduce Stroke Disparities (P5.287)
Conclusions:In our large Florida Stroke Registry, we observed lower in-hospital mortality, but greater disability at discharge after stroke among blacks in comparison to whites. This paradox needs further exploration to design and implement interventions to improve stroke outcome and reduce disparities in post-stroke disability.Disclosure: Dr. Simonetto has nothing to disclose.
