Association Between Anthropometric Measurements and Stroke in Patients with Low CHADS2 Score (P1.226)
Conclusion: In contrast to the available literature, we found that patients with low risk CHADS2 score with subsequent acute stroke were taller with statistical significance than those with high CHADS2 score. The implication of this finding is that such variations in anthropometric measurements might predispose patients with atrial fibrillation to higher risk of stroke regardless of their CHADS2 score. Accordingly, stroke risk stratification models should include these measurements in contemporary practice.Disclosure: Dr. Hassan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Villines has nothing to disclose.

Results of Systemizing Stroke Care in Acute Endovascular Patients (P2.308)
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a streamlined routing and transfer process significantly shortened treatment times and decreased complications in our stroke patients. Our pre-established expedited triage, imaging, stroke physician expertise, and mechanical clot retrieval proficiency resulted in more favorable outcomes. With these changes, patients receive the most specialized endovascular care in a highly efficient manner.Disclosure: Dr. Hawkins has nothing to disclose. Dr. Martin has nothing to disclose.

Stroke Code to CT - Does Stroke Severity Affect Timing? (P2.311)
CONCLUSIONS: It is imperative that we act upon patients with less severe appearing strokes with as much rapidity as we do for those with severe strokes in order to ensure that all stroke patients have the best chance for long-term recovery.Disclosure: Dr. Kwei has nothing to disclose.

Chagas Disease and Stroke: Frequency and Clinical Correlates (P3.235)
Conclusions: Patients presenting with stroke and CD had more cardiac impairment and cardioembolic events than non-CD patients. Better healthcare of stroke patients and CD is required as these patients were readmitted more frequently than those without CDDisclosure: Dr. Meira has nothing to disclose.

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. Caplan has received personal compensation in an editorial capacity for JAMA Neurology.

Age Disparities in Acute Stroke Treatment: An Analysis of Six Years of US Hospital Discharges (S4.005)
Conclusions: Despite the fact that approximately half of stroke discharges were age 75 or older, they account for only about 30[percnt] of those receiving acute stroke therapies. As the US population ages, these findings raise concern that fewer older patients will receive the only acute therapies shown to improve functional outcome in ischemic stroke. Providers should be cognizant of potential age biases when selecting candidates for acute therapy and should continue to enroll the elderly in therapeutic trials.Disclosure: Dr. Lyerly has nothing to disclose.

Risk of Pregnancy-Associated Stroke Across Age Groups: Population-Based Data from New York State (S4.007)
Conclusions: Younger peripartum women, but not older women, are at increased risk of stroke compared to non-pregnant contemporaries. These results suggest that pregnancy itself does not increase the risk of stroke in older women, though they could reflect a tendency for older pregnant women to have above-average cardiovascular health. More research is needed to investigate why younger women may have increased risk of PAS.Disclosure: Dr. Miller has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gatollari has nothing to disclose.

Failing a Dysphagia Screening Test after Acute Ischemic Stroke: Baseline Patient Factors and Outcomes (P6.037)
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with ischemic stroke who failed a dysphagia screening test had worse pre-admission function and more severe strokes, and developed much higher rates of complications and death than those who passed. Multivariable analyses are pending to control for stroke severity and determine the strength of these associations.Disclosure: Dr. Joundi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Martino has nothing to disclose.

In-Hospital Mechanisms of Stroke in Patients on Hemodialysis: A 10-Year Retrospective Study (P6.044)
Conclusions: Cardioembolism is the commonest mechanism of in-hospital strokes in patients with ESRD on HD. Atrial fibrillation and infective endocarditis are likely sources of embolism. Further large scale studies should be directed towards stroke prevention in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Sachar has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sunbulli has nothing to disclose.

Conclusions Adding picture description scores improves accuracy of NIHSS in accounting for lesion volume in LH stroke and yields complementary information about lesion localization, without adding time to administration of NIHSS.Disclosure: Dr. Hillis received personal compensation in an editorial capacity from Lippincott for serving as Associate Editor of Stroke and from Elsevier for serving as Associate Editor of Practice Update Neurology.

Placental Pathology in Neonatal Stroke: A Retrospective Case-Control Study (S42.006)
Conclusions: Major placental abnormalities were common in stroke cases relative to controls, with trends towards different patterns in arterial versus venous stroke. Many findings were subacute to chronic and reflect intrauterine stressors that may predispose to acute stroke in the perinatal period. We are continuing to investigate these abnormalities and their implications for screening, monitoring, and even prevention of neonatal stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Bernson-Leung has nothing to disclose.

Analysis of Run Sheets of EMS Serving a Metropolitan Comprehensive Stroke Center (P1.268)
Conclusions:Patients with acute stroke transported by EMS have better quality metrics and higher chance of receiving acute treatment. EMS documented assessment allows for the diagnosis or stroke in general but cannot identify LVO because the assessment of cortical signs is very limited.Disclosure: Dr. Hussein has nothing to disclose.
