Stroke of Cryptogenic Greater Than One Cause_Shared Major and Minor TOAST Classifications (P1.120)
CONCLUSION: Patients with more than one identified cause represent a small proportion of ischemic strokes. Designation as cryptogenic >1 cause is driven by the presence of atrial fibrillation and identified hypercoagulable states. Further research is needed to determine whether in-hospital management and secondary stroke prevention regimens are impacted by the presence of more than one cause of stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Shimamoto has nothing to disclose.

Guidelines for the Prevention of Stroke in Women: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Guideline
Conclusions— To more accurately reflect the risk of stroke in women across the lifespan, as well as the clear gaps in current risk scores, we believe a female-specific stroke risk score is warranted.

N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide predicts long-term mortality but not stroke recurrence in acute ischemic stroke patients with a cardioembolic source (P1.051)
CONCLUSIONS: Our study showed that the plasma level of NT-proBNP significantly predicted short-and long-term mortality although it was not associated with stroke recurrence in stroke patients with a cardioembolic source.Disclosure: Dr. Lee has nothing to disclose.

Predictors Of Early Mortality And Bad Outcome In Ischemic Stroke (P3.072)
Conclusion: identifying predictors of early mortality or post-stroke disability is mandatory in order to recognize opportunities of improvement and develop strategies for clinical care in this specific subgroup of patients. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to reduce clinical complications and to improve follow up after the hospitalization period.Disclosure: Dr. Luzzi has nothing to disclose.

Hospital Costs Associated With Atrial Fibrillation for Patients With Ischemic Stroke Aged 18-64 Years in the United States Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— AFib increased the hospital cost of ischemic stroke substantially. Further investigation on AFib-associated costs for repeat stroke admissions is needed.

ABCD2 score and secondary stroke prevention: Meta-analysis and effect per 1,000 patients triaged
Conclusion: The ABCD2 score does not reliably discriminate those at low and high risk of early recurrent stroke, identify patients with carotid stenosis or AF needing urgent intervention, or streamline clinic workload. Stroke prevention services need adequate capacity for prompt specialist clinical assessment of all suspected TIA patients for correct patient management.

The Risk for In-Patient Stroke (RIPS) Scale: Development of a Stroke Recognition Instrument (P6.027)
Conclusions: This study suggests that the RIPS scale may be effective in screening for inpatient stroke. A further prospective study with a larger sample size would be necessary to validate this scoring method.Disclosure: Dr. Chang has nothing to disclose. Dr. Bergman has nothing to disclose.

General medical skills on neurology and stroke wards
This study looks at the difference in the general medical care required in neurology and stroke units and the different skill set required. Methods Prospective data regarding diagnosis and medical complications were collected from 100 patients admitted to a neurology and a stroke ward. Results Stroke unit patients were older (mean age 71.4 yrs; standard deviation 16.3) than those on the neurology ward (47.9;16.8, p=<0.001). The primary diagnosis was neurological in all patients on the neurology ward, but 16% of those on the stroke ward had not had a recent stroke. Attention to general medical issues was required ...

Emergent MRI during a Stroke Alert. Single center experience. (P6.299)
Conclusions:Clinical presentation and head CT provide sufficient information for decision making about provision of IV tPA. Emergent MRI increases door-to-needle time and may only be used in rare cases when history is not available. Presence of headache, absence of atrial fibrillation and low NIHSS score may help differentiating stroke mimics from AIS.Disclosure: Dr. Kapoor has nothing to disclose.

Diagnostic value of prehospital ECG in acute stroke patients
Conclusions: In a selected cohort of patients with stroke, the in-field recordings of the ECG detected a relevant rate of cardiac arrhythmia. The results can add to the in-hospital evaluation and should be considered in prehospital care of acute stroke.

Abstract 9: The Relationship Between Patient Diversity and Warfarin Use in Atrial Fibrillation: A Ten-Year Perspective (2000-2010) on Cardiovascular Outcomes Concurrent I Session B: Oral Abstract Presentations on Stroke Topics
Conclusions: Significant differences in key metrics between race/ethnicity and gender exist. Across all metrics, Blacks had worse outcomes with less warfarin use and comparatively worse outcomes even when on warfarin. Patient diversity should be a focus for future trials in AF-related cardiovascular outcomes.
