Importance of Considering Competing Risks in Time-to-Event Analyses: Application to Stroke Risk in a Retrospective Cohort Study of Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Original Articles
Conclusions: The incidence of death without stroke was 9-fold higher than that of stroke, leading to biased estimates of stroke risk with traditional time-to-event methods. Statistical methods that appropriately account for competing risks should be used to mitigate this bias.

Comparison of Acute Ischemic Stroke Care and Outcomes Between Comprehensive Stroke Centers and Primary Stroke Centers in the United States Original Articles
Conclusions: CSCs and PSCs achieved similar overall care quality for patients with acute ischemic stroke. CSCs exceeded PSCs in timely acute reperfusion therapy for emergency department admissions, whereas PSCs had lower risk-adjusted in-hospital mortality. This information may be important for acute stroke triage and targeted quality improvement.

Association Between Early Outpatient Visits and Readmissions After Ischemic Stroke Original Articles
Conclusions: Thirty-day outpatient follow-up was associated with a small reduction in hospital readmission among elderly patients with stroke discharged home. Further work should assess how outpatient care may be improved to further reduce readmissions.

Abstract 4: Variation in Published Stroke Rates Results in Wide Variation in the Net Clinical Benefit of Anticoagulation for Atrial Fibrillation Session Title: QCOR 2018 Young Investigator Award Finalists
Conclusion: Using current guidelines, variation in published off-anticoagulation stroke rates results in tenfold variation in the estimated net clinical benefit of anticoagulation. Guidelines should better reflect the uncertainty of the current approach that uses a CHA2DS2-VASc threshold to recommend anticoagulation.

Abstract 14: The Influence of Provider Specialty on Anticoagulation Prescription Fills and Stroke Risk in Atrial Fibrillation Patients With History of Cancer Session Title: Poster Session Reception: Young Investigator Award Semi-Finalists
Conclusion: AF patients with cancer were less likely to see a cardiologist, and less likely to fill an anticoagulant prescription than AF patients without cancer. However, cardiology involvement was associated with increased anticoagulant prescription fills and reduced risk of stroke, suggesting a beneficial role for cardiology providers to improve outcomes in AF patients with history of cancer.

Abstract 17: Association Between Pre-stroke Depression and Patient Reported Outcomes After Acute Ischemic Stroke Session Title: Poster Session Reception: Young Investigator Award Semi-Finalists
Conclusions: Pre-stroke depression is associated with worse patient reported outcomes and greater odds of functional decline after ischemic stroke discharge. Strategies to more effectively manage comorbid depression and improve outcomes in these patients are needed.

Abstract 107: Differential Ischemic Stroke Risk Among Women Veterans Across Age Strata Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusions: Nearly half of all women Veterans were found to be at high risk of ischemic stroke within the next 10-years. Furthermore, sex differences were noted across age strata, with women having a lower risk of stroke then men at younger ages and a higher risk at older ages. Given that women tend to have more severe strokes, higher mortality, and delayed diagnosis compared to men, further work is required to understand reasons for the differential stroke risk across sexes. Based on these study findings, implementing primary prevention programs for women Veterans would help to mitigate future ischemic stroke risk.

Abstract 109: Neurologists versus Hospitalists: The Effect of Physician Specialty on Stroke Care and Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke and TIA Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusions: There is no evidence that patients received dissimilar stroke related care or experienced different outcomes regardless of the physician specialty serving as the primary service. However, stroke patients with hospitalists as their primary team had shorter hospital stay. This difference may be due to hospitalists’ expertise in managing patients with multiple co-morbidities, including stroke patients with underlying diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension. Based on these findings, utilizing neurology as a consult service for stroke related care will not affect provision of stroke care or patient outcomes.

Abstract 110: Prevalence of Neurological Illness, Stroke and Associated Mortality on a Ugandan Neurology Ward Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusions: Among patients admitted to a Ugandan neurology ward, stroke was the most common diagnosis and the most frequently associated with mortality. Given that such non-communicable diseases as cerebrovascular disease is becoming increasingly more important causes of death in resource-limited settings, future research should seek to understand how mortality relates to other factors during hospitalizations and whether interventions to improve delivery of care to patients at higher risk of mortality may affect patient outcomes.
