Uncontrolled Discharge Diastolic Blood Pressure is Associated with Favorable Outcome after Ischemic Stroke (P5.170)
Conclusions: Uncontrolled DBP at discharge was more likely to result in a favorable outcome, particularly among small-vessel and indeterminate stroke etiologies. Aggressive BP control during acute ischemic stroke hospitalization may not benefit these patients. These results require confirmation in a larger dataset.Disclosure: Dr. Schlick has nothing to disclose. Dr. Le has nothing to disclose. Dr. Nezhad has nothing to disclose.

Stroke in the Young: Etiologies and Risk Factors (P7.124)
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke in the young shares many of the same common modifiable risk factors as stroke in the elderly including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and tobacco abuse. Other unique disease processes also contribute to stroke in this age group, often less modifiable. Given the devastating morbidity and mortality of stroke in this age group, a larger public health effort for primary and secondary prevention of stroke in the young should be aggressively pursued.Disclosure: Dr. Govind has nothing to disclose.

Body Mass Index and Stroke Subtype in a Young Adult Stroke Population (P7.126)
CONCLUSIONS: In our group of young adult stroke patients, we found the highest BMI in the group with intracranial atherosclerosis. Although this group represented a small number of patients, this young adult population is at increased risk for future strokes. It is important to educate them on lifestyle modifications such as weight loss and exercise in addition to the treatment of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.Disclosure: Dr. Youn has nothing to disclose.

Clinical profile, risk factors, etiology and outcome of stroke in young Filipino adults. (P7.147)
Conclusion - Stroke occurs at a younger age in Filipinos compared to other Asian and European countries. The incidence of stroke in young Filipinos were similar to Asian figures but higher compared to European studies. Hypertension is the most common risk factor in the world followed by diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. In Filipinos however, cultural vices such as smoking and alcoholism were the second and third leading risk factors. This paper to the best of our knowledge is the first to report the unique profile of stroke in young Filipino patients.Disclosure: Dr. Talamera has nothing to disclose. Dr. San Jose has noth...
