Better outcomes for hospitalized patients with TIA when in stroke units: An observational study
Conclusions: Hospitalized patients with TIA managed in SUs had better survival at 180 days than those treated in alternate wards, potentially through better management, but further research is needed.

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.

Correlation of NIH Stroke Scale Change and Vascular Risk Factors in Acute Stroke Patients (P7.164)
Conclusion:In this small sample, change in NIH stroke scale admission through discharge may be a useful quality outcome measure in acute stroke. Tobacco use was harmful in this sample. Presence of hypertension and absence of diabetes showed benefit in select acute stroke outcomes. Investigating the special cause improvements in this population may help identify ways to improve outcomes. Shewhart control charts may provide useful information when examining quality that might be missed on routine statistical methods.Disclosure: Dr. Krishnamohan has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Unit Support and Certification Program of Korean Stroke Society - The First Term Report (P2.322)
Conclusion: Stroke unit support and certification program has successfully implemented in nationwide stroke care hospitals in Korea. Further strengthened criteria will be applied for the 2nd term program from 2015 and the key elements will be presented. For further dissemination of stroke unit, support from Korean health insurance system is required.Disclosure: Dr. Rha has nothing to disclose. Dr. Park has nothing to disclose.

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.

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.

Impact of stroke misdiagnosis on short-term and discharge use of vascular medications in young adults (P7.125)
CONCLUSIONS: ED stroke misdiagnosis was associated with reduced use of early AT. At discharge, there was no variation in antithrombotic or statin use based on stroke misdiagnosis. Fewer than half of cryptogenic stroke patients received statins. Greater statin use in this population could reduce the rate of major vascular events Study Supported by: None Disclosure: Dr. Chaturvedi has received personal compensation for activities with Genentech, Inc., Abbott Vascular, Boehringer-Ingelheim, WL Gore, and Merck.

Recurrent stroke in childhood cancer survivors
Conclusion: Survivors of childhood cancer, particularly those previously treated with high-dose cranial radiation, have a high risk of recurrent stroke for decades after a first stroke. Although these strokes are mostly occurring in young adulthood, hypertension, an established atherosclerotic risk factor, independently predicts recurrent stroke in this population.
