Quick-brain MRI as first imaging modality to diagnose pediatric stroke (P4.261)
Conclusions:QB was the most common first study, was sensitive for acute stroke, and resulted in rapid diagnosis, with no missed findings. This small study suggests that QB may be considered as a first study in children with symptoms of acute stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Christy has nothing to disclose. Dr. Wilson has nothing to disclose.

Hispanic patients have longer door-to-needle times independent of age, gender and stroke severity (P4.279)
Conclusions:There is a significant delay in DTN times for Hispanic ischemic stroke patients who received tPA with an average of 12 minute delay compared to non-Hispanic White patients. This relationship was independent of age, sex, and stroke severity. We speculate this may be due to language barriers.Disclosure: Dr. Liang has nothing to disclose.

Stroke versus non-stroke neurological complications after cardiac transplant (P4.299)
Conclusions:Neurological complications after CT in our population reach nearly a quarter of patients, similar to or even lower than in previous studies.4.3% of patients developed stroke, ischemic subtype.Pre- and perioperative variables do not differ between both groups, except from ischemic cardiomyopathy as the cause of heart failure being it more frequent in the stroke group.Disclosure: Dr. Vazquez has nothing to disclose.

Post Stroke Fatigue in African/Caribbean Americans: Role of Stroke Severity, Depression, and Quality of Life (P5.289)
Conclusions:In this African/Caribbean American population, higher QoL was associated with lower rates of PSF. Our data suggest that, in this minority population, self-viewed QoL may influence the risk of developing of PSF.Disclosure: Dr. Ahmed has nothing to disclose. Dr. Singer has nothing to disclose.

Gender Differences in Post Stroke Fatigue (P5.290)
Conclusions:In our urban predominately minority cohort, women had more severe PSF than men. The basis for the protective effect of HTN on PSF severity is unclear and deserves further study.Disclosure: Dr. Balucani has nothing to disclose. Dr. Gilles has nothing to disclose.

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness and Depression in Stroke Survivors (P5.292)
Conclusions:The presence of EDS is associated with moderate to severe depression in stroke survivors. This is not related solely to SDB symptoms. Patients with fatigue and EDS should be screened for depression. Future studies are also needed to explore the role that SDB plays in this relationship.Disclosure: Dr. Pham has nothing to disclose.

Enteral tube feeding in acute ischemic stroke patients as a strong predictor of in-hospital stroke mortality (P5.294)
Conclusions:In conclusion, age, total NIHSS, and dysarthria score are predictors for enteral tube feeding in acute ischemic stroke patients. Enteral tube feeding is strongly associated with the incidence of pneumonia and increased mortality among acute stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. ROCHA has nothing to disclose.

Ultra-short door-to-needle times of 10 minutes or less in stroke thrombolysis - experience from 63 cases (S8.002)
Conclusions:An ultra-short DNT ≤10 minutes can be achieved safely in unequivocal clinical scenarios, with pre-notification of the multidisciplinary stroke team practically being a sine-qua-non.Disclosure: Dr. Topakian has nothing to disclose.

Disruption of the Blood-Ocular Barriers in Stroke Patients (S8.008)
Conclusions:GLOS is common in stroke patients regardless of whether they receive treatment. BBB disruption appears to associate with blood-ocular barrier disruption. Whether these findings are due to the acute stroke, or merely due to a common underlying chronic process, remains to be determined.Disclosure: Dr. Hitomi has nothing to disclose.

Characteristics and Outcomes among Patients Transferred to Regional Stroke Centers across the United States for Specialized Stroke Care (S25.007)
Conclusions:Many hospitals receive high volumes of ischemic stroke patients via transfer. Because transfer-in patients have worse outcomes, these transfer-in patients have the potential to negatively influence institutional outcomes rates. Transfer-in patients should be carefully accounted for in risk adjusted models of hospital outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. Ali has nothing to disclose.

Body mass index in early life and stroke in adult life: What is the risk?
The article "BMI increase through puberty and adolescence is associated with risk of adult stroke" by Ohlsson et al.1 explores the relationship between body mass index (BMI) when a person is young (adolescence) and risk of stroke when the person is older (adults). Previous studies2,3 have shown that rate of stroke is decreasing in older adults but increasing in younger adults. This finding coincides with an increasing BMI in children and young adults. The researchers wanted to ask: Does an increased BMI during puberty and adolescence increase the risk for stroke later in life? The authors also explored whether the cha...

Effects of increasing IV tPA-treated stroke mimic rates at CT-based centers on clinical outcomes
Conclusions: Thrombolysis of stroke mimics is increasing at our CT-based spoke hospitals and not at our MRI-based hub hospitals. Caution should be used in interpreting clinical outcomes based on large stroke databases when stroke diagnosis at discharge is unclear. Inadvertent reporting of treated stroke mimics as strokes will artificially elevate overall favorable clinical outcomes with additional downstream costs to patients and the health care system.

Sex-specific stroke incidence over time in the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Stroke Study
Conclusions: Decreases in stroke incidence over time are driven by a decrease in ischemic stroke in men. Contrary to previous study periods, stroke incidence rates were similar by sex in 2010. Future research is needed to understand why the decrease in ischemic stroke incidence is more pronounced in men.

Validating and comparing stroke prognosis scales
Conclusions: Our comparative analyses confirm differences in the prognostic accuracy of stroke scales. However, even the best performing scale had prognostic accuracy that may not be sufficient as a basis for clinical decision-making.
