Artificial intelligence-assisted software significantly decreases all workflow metrics for large vessel occlusion transfer patients, within a large spoke and hub system
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) software is increasingly applied in stroke diagnostics. Viz LVO (large vessel occlusion) is an AI-based software that is FDA-approved for LVO detection in CT Angiography (CTA) scans. We sought to investigate differences in transfer times [from peripheral (spoke) to central (hub) hospitals] for LVO patients between spoke hospitals that utilize Viz LVO and those that do not. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we used our institutional database to identify all suspected/confirmed LVO transferred patients from spokes (peripheral hospitals) within and outside of our healthc...

A Pilot Study of Application of the Stroke Riskometer Mobile App for Assessment of the Course and Clinical Outcomes of COVID-19 among Hospitalized Patients
Conclusions: High risk of stroke, physical inactivity, alcohol intake, high SBP, and atrial fibrillation are associated with severity and mortality of COVID-19. Our findings suggest that the Stroke Riskometer app could be used as a simple predictive tool of COVID-19 severity and mortality.

Predicting Atrial Fibrillation after Ischemic Stroke: Clinical, Genetics, and Electrocardiogram Modelling
Conclusion: We demonstrated that a model combining clinical and electrocardiographic variables provided robust prediction of AF in our post-stroke population. Role of SNP in prediction of AF was limited.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2023;13:9 –17

Predicting atrial fibrillation after ischemic stroke: clinical, genetics and electrocardiogram modelling
Introduction: Detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) is challenging in patients after ischemic stroke due to its paroxysmal nature. We aim to determine the utility of a combined clinical, electrocardiographic and genetic variables model to predict AF in a post-stroke population. Materials and Methods: We performed a cohort study at a single comprehensive stroke centre from 09/11/2009 to 31/10/2017. All patients recruited were diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attacks. Electrocardiographic variables including p-wave terminal force (PWTF), corrected QT interval (QTc) and genetic variables including ...

Carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic carotid stenosis: differences in patient profile in a Low-Middle Income Country
Conclusion: There is a delay in patients undergoing CEA for symptomatic carotid stenosis. Majority have high grade stenosis and present late only after a stroke reflecting a lack of awareness. CEA can be performed safely even in patients with significant intracranial tandem stenosi s and contralateral carotid occlusion.

Impact of Patency of the Carotid Terminus and Middle Cerebral Artery on Early Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Acute Internal Carotid Artery Occlusion and Mild Symptoms
Conclusion: The overall clinical outcomes of patients with acute ICAO with mild symptoms were not depending on the patency of the ICT and MCA, but initial treatment with IVT alone might risk unfavorable outcomes due to thrombus migration in patients with patent ICT and MCA.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2023;13:1 –7

Impact of patency of the carotid terminus and middle cerebral artery on early clinical outcomes in patients with acute internal carotid artery occlusion and mild symptoms
This study aimed to address the association between early clinical outcomes and patency of the ICT and middle cerebral artery (MCA) in patients with acute ICAO with mild symptoms. Methods: Of 1214 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack due to large vessel occlusion, patients with ipsilateral ICAO and initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (NIHSS) ≤ 5 were retrospectively enrolled. We examined the associations between clinical factors including patency of the ICT and MCA and recurrence of stroke or early neurological deterioration (REND). Significant early neurologi...

Outcomes of Mild Stroke and High-Risk Transient Ischemic Attack in Current Clinical Practice
Conclusion: Implementation of the up-to-date standard care in clinical practice would bring good clinical outcomes to the patients with mild stroke and high-risk TIA.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2022;12:109 –116

Outcomes of Mild Stroke and High-risk Transient Ischemic Attack in Current Clinical Practice
Early assessment and management of patients with mild stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) by specialists were recommended. Objectives: To evaluate the outcomes of these patients, and identify the predictive factors of clinical progression, unfavorable outcomes and recurrent stroke. Materials and Methods: Patients with mild ischemic stroke (NIHSS ≤5) and high-risk TIA were studied. All patients were managed by stroke specialists within 24 hours of stroke onset. The outcomes of the patients at 3 months and final follow-up were studied. Predictive factors of clinical progression, unfavorable outcomes, and recurrent s...
