Association of Patient Enrollment in Medicare Part D With Outcomes After Acute Myocardial Infarction Original Articles
Conclusions— Only half of Medicare-insured patients with AMI were enrolled in Part D by hospital discharge, and their 30-day and 1-year adjusted outcomes did not differ substantially from nonenrollees. There remain opportunities for improvement in medication adherence among patients with prescription drug coverage.

Sex Differences in Dabigatran Use, Safety, And Effectiveness In a Population-Based Cohort of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Original Articles
Conclusions— In real-life practice, women are more frequently treated with low-dose dabigatran, yet a trend toward lower stroke rates in women taking high-dose dabigatran was observed. Men benefit from lower bleeding rates with dabigatran compared with warfarin.

Improving Anticoagulation Measurement: Novel Warfarin Composite Measure Original Articles
Conclusions— WCM produces the largest range of risk for warfarin complications, widening the floor ceiling effects that limit the use of TTR and INR variability as separate measures. Anticoagulation clinics ranking changed considerably according to the anticoagulation measure that was selected.

Smoking Paradox in Patients Hospitalized With Coronary Artery Disease or Acute Ischemic Stroke: Findings From Get With The Guidelines Original Articles
Conclusions— Among patients hospitalized with CAD and AIS, smoking is a risk factor for early age of onset, even among those with few vascular risk factors. The persistent association with lower in-hospital mortality after adjusted and stratified analyses probably represents residual unmeasured confounding, although a biological effect of smoking cannot be excluded. Further clinical and prospective population-based studies are needed to explore variables that contribute to outcomes in these patients.

Variation and Trends in the Documentation of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale in GWTG-Stroke Hospitals Original Articles
Conclusions— Documentation of NIHSS is higher in patients who are thrombolysis candidates. Evidence of modest bias in NIHSS scores was observed but this has lessened as the documentation of NIHSS has improved in recent years.

Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials Comparing the Long-Term Outcomes of Carotid Artery Stenting Versus Endarterectomy Original Articles
Conclusions— Although stenting has more favorable periprocedural outcomes with respect to myocardial infarction, the observed increased risk of stroke and death throughout follow-up with stenting suggests that endarterectomy remains the treatment of choice for carotid stenosis.

Patient-Centered Decision Support in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Qualitative Study of Patients' and Providers' Perspectives Original Articles
Conclusions— This study suggests that a positively framed risk–benefit tool with graphical presentations of general and patient-specific risk estimates could support patients and providers in considering r-tPA for acute ischemic stroke.

Quality of Care and Ischemic Stroke Risk After Hospitalization for Transient Ischemic Attack: Findings From Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Original Articles
Conclusions— TIA patients with high estimated ischemic stroke risk are less likely to receive defect-free care than low-risk patients. Standardized risk assessment and delivery of optimal inpatient care are needed to reduce this risk-treatment mismatch.

Does the Volume of Ischemic Stroke Admissions Relate to Clinical Outcomes in the Ontario Stroke System? Original Articles
Conclusions— Hospital IS volume is associated with 30-day mortality in Ontario. Patients admitted to hospitals with annual IS volumes <126 annually are more likely to die within 30 days than patients admitted to hospitals that see on average 300 patients annually. This finding supports centralizing care in stroke-specialized hospitals.

Academic-Community Hospital Comparison of Vulnerabilities in Door-to-Needle Process for Acute Ischemic Stroke Original Articles
Conclusions— Although the identification of common critical failures suggests opportunities for a generalizable process redesign, differences in the criticality and nature of failures must be addressed at the individual hospital level, to develop robust and sustainable solutions to reduce DTN time.
