Reliability of brain CT evaluation by stroke neurologists in telemedicine
Conclusions: Clinically relevant misinterpretation of the CT scans was rare in our acute telestroke service. ASPECTS is a reliable tool to assess the extent of EIC by stroke neurologists in telemedicine in real time.

Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and mortality after stroke
Conclusion: Living in a socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhood is associated with higher mortality hazard at 1 year following an incident stroke. Further work is needed to understand the structural and social characteristics of neighborhoods that may contribute to mortality in the year after a stroke and the pathways through which these characteristics operate.

A systematic evaluation of stroke surveillance studies in low- and middle-income countries
Conclusions: Systematic evaluation of all available primary surveillance studies, particularly in the context of WHO STEPS guidelines, indicates inadequate adherence to standardized surveillance methodology in LMI countries. Incorporation of standardized approaches is essential to enhance generalizability and estimate stroke burden accurately in these resource-poor settings.

Epidemiology of stroke and its subtypes in Chinese vs white populations: A systematic review
Conclusions: There is good evidence for a slightly higher overall stroke incidence and higher proportion of intracerebral hemorrhage in Chinese vs white populations, but no clear evidence for different distributions of ischemic stroke subtypes. Studies using comparable, population-based case ascertainment and similar classification methods are needed to address this.

Epilepsy after TIA or stroke in young patients impairs long-term functional outcome: The FUTURE Study
Conclusions: Epilepsy after stroke in young patients is a common problem that negatively affects functional outcome, even more than 10 years after ischemic stroke.

Influence of seizures on stroke outcomes: A large multicenter study
Conclusions: SSP and SDH have different characteristics. SDH indicates a poorer prognosis in patients. Increased awareness of SSP and efforts to prevent SDH may be important in improving outcomes following clinical stroke care.

Free fatty acids to predict recurrent ischemic stroke
Recurrent stroke accounts for substantial morbidity and mortality among ischemic stroke survivors. To establish effective treatments for secondary stroke prevention, it is important to determine factors associated with stroke recurrence. Among the blood biomarkers associated with stroke risk, lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (LpPLA2) is perhaps the most studied. LpPLA2 hydrolyzes oxidized phospholipids and plays an important role in atherosclerosis with elevated plasma levels associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Other markers associated with stroke risk include fibrinogen, C-r...

Stroke of Cryptogenic Greater Than One Cause_Shared Major and Minor TOAST Classifications (P1.120)
CONCLUSION: Patients with more than one identified cause represent a small proportion of ischemic strokes. Designation as cryptogenic >1 cause is driven by the presence of atrial fibrillation and identified hypercoagulable states. Further research is needed to determine whether in-hospital management and secondary stroke prevention regimens are impacted by the presence of more than one cause of stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Shimamoto has nothing to disclose.

Seasonal Differences and Circadian Variation In Stroke Occurrence And Stroke Subtypes (P1.122)
Conclusion: There is a significant increase in occurrence of strokes between 0600 and 1159 hours and lowest between 1800-2359hrs. In our study we did not find a significant variation in stroke occurrence or type for any of the seasons.Disclosure: Dr. Bhatia has nothing to disclose. Dr. Raj has nothing to disclose.

The Incidence Of Secondary Stroke Prevention Medication Following Hospitalization For Ischemic Stroke (I2-1.006)
CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of statins and ACE-I/ARB initiation following a stroke, among older adults discharged home was low (24-35%). Reported rates of side effects of either class of medications are not high enough to account for the low observed incidence. Better understanding of why beneficiaries are not receiving SSP, namely statins and ACE-I/ARBs, within 90 days of an ischemic stroke is critical to preventing recurrent stroke.Study Supported by:UnfundedDisclosure: Dr. Blackburn has nothing to disclose.

Timing and number of minor infections as risk factors for childhood arterial ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Minor infections appear to have a strong but short-lived effect on pediatric stroke risk, while cumulative burden of infection had no effect. Proposed mechanisms for the link between minor infection and stroke in adults include an inflammatory-mediated prothrombotic state and chronic endothelial injury. The transient effect of infection in children may suggest a greater role for a prothrombotic mechanism.

Depression in context of low neuroticism is a risk factor for stroke: A 9-year cohort study
Conclusions: In persons without preexistent cardiac disease, depression is only predictive for future stroke in absence of high neuroticism. This might be explained by the hypothesis that late-life depression in context of low neuroticism is a marker of subclinical vascular disease.
