Stroke Code Simulation Lab; Save Time Save Brain! (P2.375)

Overcoming Challenges in the Collection of Patient-Reported Outcomes in an Ambulatory Academic Neurology Clinic (P2.381)
Conclusion: Systematic digital collection of PRO is feasible and informative, and did not interfere with clinic operations. Survey completers differ from non-completers in important ways, and efforts such as multilingual PRO survey tools and additional supports should be implemented to ensure collection from vulnerable patient populations. Further research is warranted to validate these findings.Disclosure: Dr. Moura has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schwamm has nothing to disclose. Dr. Moura has nothing to disclose.

Antithrombotic Strategy in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Differences Between Neurologists and Haematologists in a Canadian Survey (P6.007)
Conclusions: In this cohort, there are differences between neurologists and hematologists with regards to initial choice of anticoagulant. It is possible that more complex presenting cases of CVT with concurrent venous infarction, hemorrhage or seizure may present to neurologists as compared to hematologists. Thus, an initial preference for UFH may reflect a desire for a reversible agent with a short half-life in the event of bleeding complications in an unstable patient. Our study is limited by response bias, though our response rate of 28[percnt] is comparable to other contemporary web-based physician surveys. The majori...

Factors associated with delay in presentation to the hospital for young adults with ischemic stroke (P3.237)
Conclusions: A majority of young adults with ischemic stroke presented outside the time window for intravenous fibrinolysis. Diabetes, single status, and unemployed status were associated with delayed presentation. Disclosure: Dr. Leung has nothing to disclose. Dr. Louis R.

Spanish Version of the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale: Awareness and Use in the United States. A Survey Study (P6.023)
Conclusion: Neurology and Emergency medicine training programs are generally not aware of the availability of the NIHSS Spanish version. There is a need to increase awareness and to promote the use of the Spanish version of the NIHSS and to address the validation of its use by interpreters given the large and expected increase in the population of Hispanics.Disclosure: Dr. Villalobos 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.

Strokes Occurring in the Hospital; Quality of Care and Outcome in a Tertiary Academic Medical Center (P6.045)
Conclusions: Increased symptom recognition was found within the ICU/ER cohorts staffed by specialized nurses. Only small number of patients with in-hospital strokes received brain imaging according to ASA/AHA guidelines which is an important opportunity for QI efforts for this group of patients.Disclosure: Dr. Kamal has nothing to disclose.

An EHR Template and Housestaff Incentive Program to Improve the Frequency of NIHSS Documentation for Code Stroke (P6.047)

Analysis of Inpatient Thrombophilia Testing for Adults with an Ischemic Stroke or Transient Ischemic Attack and its Impact on Clinical Management (P1.123)
Conclusions: Inpatient thrombophilia testing did not affect management in the vast majority of patients with an ischemic stroke or TIA despite a positive test result. Therefore, by avoiding inpatient testing, healthcare costs may be reduced without affecting patient care.Disclosure: Dr. Gavva has nothing to disclose.
