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.

The First 3 Months Post Stroke: A Unique Opportunity to Promote Exercise (P3.300)
Conclusions: Ischemic stroke patients were more likely to be exercising at three months than before their stroke, likely in part due to prescribed rehabilitation. Although this analysis is limited by unknown aerobic intensity, this subacute time period after stroke may provide a unique opportunity to incorporate exercise into patients’ lifestyles long-term.Disclosure: Dr. Garrison has nothing to disclose.

Predictors of Return To Driving after Stroke (P03.157)
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with higher FIM cognition and lower extremity Motricity Index scores at admission to inpatient rehabilitation are more likely to return to driving at six months. This model could be used by rehabilitation professionals to help counsel patients and their families and focus treatment goals.Supported by: American Academy of Neurology, NIH National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, HealthSouth Corporation, Washington University McDonnell Center for Systems Neuroscience, and the Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital.Disclosure: Dr. Aufman has nothing to disclose.

Clinical and In-hospital Process Variables Are Associated With Hospital Length-of-Stay in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients (P6.246)
CONCLUSIONS: For mild ischemic stroke patients, time to physical therapy evaluation (an in-hospital care process) was associated with LOS and likelihood of return to ED, whereas clinical factors (including mRS, NIHSS score, infarct location) were not. This suggests coordination of inpatient care processes, in addition to assessing and treating co-morbidities, could impact hospital LOS and, perhaps, long-term outcome.Disclosure: Dr. Kim has nothing to disclose.
