Leadership of Certified Stroke Center Programs (P3.126)
CONCLUSION: In this first survey of certified stroke center leadership, we found that the vast majority of sites were lead by a neurologist, and nearly 1/3rd by a vascular neurologist. As greater numbers of vascular neurologists are trained and board-certified, their numbers in stroke center leadership may increase.Disclosure: Dr. Ramirez has nothing to disclose.

Improving Secondary Stroke Prevention Following Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Practice Improvement Project. (P4.287)
CONCLUSIONS: Aggressive lifestyle modification and risk factor management are cornerstones of stroke prevention. Questionnaires and checklist based systems are powerful tools to quickly gather information and assess patient participation in healthcare. In individualized stroke clinics, it is a practical tool to monitor goals of secondary stroke prevention. Further data can clarify if additional instruments like multidisciplinary stroke clinics incorporating nutrition, physical therapy and stroke counseling services will improve outcomes, compliance and reduce stroke recurrence.Disclosure: Dr. Harriott has nothing to disclose.

Prestroke antiplatelet agents in first-ever ischemic stroke: Clinical effects
Conclusions: PA use was associated with decreased first-ever stroke severity, suggesting that it has a beneficial effect. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that prestroke use of antiplatelet agents reduces stroke severity in patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke.

Leukoaraiosis and stroke recurrence risk in patients with and without atrial fibrillation
Conclusions: Leukoaraiosis is an independent predictor of stroke recurrence in non-AF stroke patients. However, leukoaraiosis did not increase the accuracy of the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores to predict stroke recurrence in AF or non-AF stroke patients.

Reducing Door-To-Needle Times for Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Quality Improvement Initiative at a High Volume Comprehensive Stroke Center (P4.309)
CONCLUSION: With multiple institution specific interventions it is possible to improve the DTN time even at a high volume non-academic center. One of the key component appears to be the in-house presence of a stroke neurologist 24hours /7days a week.Disclosure: Dr. Sapkota has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sirelkhatim has nothing to disclose.

Body Mass Index and Stroke Subtype in a Young Adult Stroke Population (P7.126)
CONCLUSIONS: In our group of young adult stroke patients, we found the highest BMI in the group with intracranial atherosclerosis. Although this group represented a small number of patients, this young adult population is at increased risk for future strokes. It is important to educate them on lifestyle modifications such as weight loss and exercise in addition to the treatment of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia.Disclosure: Dr. Youn has nothing to disclose.

Comparison of On-hour vs Off-hour Patient Cohorts at a Primary Stroke Center: Onset-To-Treatment Duration and Clinical Outcomes after IV Thrombolysis (S21.005)
CONCLUSIONS: We found no significant differences in OTT durations, stroke severity, or stroke outcomes between patients whose symptoms originated during on-hours vs off-hours. This represents progress in emergency response, recognition and acute stroke care delivered by our Emergency Department staff and acute stroke team on a 24 hour basis and likely reflects nationwide efforts to provide consistent care for acute stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Nystrom has nothing to disclose.
