Abstract 013: Using the Diabetes Collaborative Registry (DCR) to Estimate the Potential Real-world Impact of the Iris Trial on Improving Outcomes in Patients With Cerebrovascular Disease Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: In a large US-based outpatient registry, we found that 12% of outpatients with prediabetes or diet-controlled T2D met the main eligibility criteria for IRIS, partly due to the narrow inclusion criteria of the trial but also likely reflective of a general paucity of screening for prediabetes and insulin resistance in this cohort. Pioglitazone was rarely used in these patients but could have a substantial impact on CV outcomes in these eligible patients. The population impact could be even greater if the CV benefit of pioglitazone can be demonstrated in patients with cerebrovascular disease and overt T2D or even ...

Real-world persistence and adherence to oral anticoagulation for stroke risk reduction in patients with atrial fibrillation
Conclusions Rivaroxaban and dabigatran demonstrated better persistence than VKA at Day 360. Furthermore, rivaroxaban was associated with better persistence and adherence than dabigatran. Further studies are needed to identify factors responsible for this difference and evaluate the impact on outcomes.

The Risk Stratification and Stroke Prevention Therapy Care Gap in Canadian Atrial Fibrillation Patients
Conclusions In a large Canadian AF population, primary care physicians did not provide a stroke or bleeding risk in a substantial proportion of their AF patients. When estimates were provided, they were on the basis of a predictive stroke and bleeding risk index in less than half of the patients. Furthermore, there was under- and overestimation of stroke and bleeding risk in a substantial proportion of patients. As many as 1 in 3 patients receiving warfarin have their TTR < 60%. These findings suggest an opportunity to enhance knowledge translation to primary care physicians.

Incidence of stroke and seizure in Alzheimer's disease dementia
Background: the objective of the study was to estimate and compare the incidence rates of ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke and seizure among cohorts with and without Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia. Methods: we conducted a retrospective cohort study using electronic medical records (EMRs) from primary care practices that participated in The Health Improvement Network (THIN) in the United Kingdom from 1 January 1990 to 31 July 2009. For each AD-dementia patient, we selected one general population control patient without AD-dementia matched to one AD-dementia patient on year of birth, sex and physician practice. Findings:...

Causes of deaths in COPD patients in primary care setting - a 6-year follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Study performed six years after COPD diagnosis revealed that 23.5% of subjects died. The main causes of deaths were the following: cardiovascular diseases (mainly heart attack and stroke), COPD exacerbations and lung cancer (more than 75%). Death risk in COPD patients was associated with age, male sex, dyspnoea and severity of the disease. PMID: 26050979 [PubMed - in process]

Complications and mortality in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: A population-based study
Conclusions: Patients with HHT are at substantially increased risk of serious neurologic and hemorrhagic complications of the disease. Because a diagnosis of HHT is associated with a significantly poorer survival compared with those who have no disease, evaluation of new strategies to improve clinical management is required.

Abstract 142: Primary Endpoint Results from a Community-Based Registry Evaluating the Use of a Blood-Based Age/Sex/Gene Expression Test in Patients Presenting with Symptoms Suggestive of Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease: the PRESET Registry (A Registry to Evaluate Patterns of Care Associated with the Use of Corus(R) CAD in Real World Clinical Care Settings) Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: In this analysis of a community-based cardiovascular registry, the age/ex/gene expression test was adopted in clinical practice and associated with a statistically significant and clinically relevant effect on medical decision making in patients presenting with typical or atypical symptoms suggestive of obstructive CAD. The use of the ASGES test showed clinical utility in helping clinicians efficiently and safely rule out obstructive CAD as the cause of their patients’ symptoms, thereby minimizing potentially unnecessary referral of low risk patients to cardiology and further cardiac diagnostic testing.

Quality Assessment of Vascular Disease Prevention Practices in High Risk Urban Women (P7.139)
CONCLUSIONS: Despite their proven value for secondary prevention, antiplatelet therapy and statins were underutilized in women with prior stroke or TIA.

This study is designed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of these two telehealth interventions in reducing BP and recurrent stroke among high-risk Black and Hispanic stroke survivors with uncontrolled hypertension.Methods/DesignA total of 450 Black and Hispanic patients with recent nondisabling stroke and uncontrolled hypertension are randomly assigned to one of two 12-month interventions: 1) HBPTM with wireless feedback to primary care providers or 2) HBPTM plus individualized, culturally-tailored, telephone-based NCM. Patients are recruited from stroke centers and primary ca...
