Discharge Disposition After Stroke in Patients With Liver Disease Brief Report
Conclusions—Liver disease was associated with worse hospital discharge disposition and in-hospital mortality after stroke, suggesting worse functional outcomes.

Thrombocytopenia and In-hospital Mortality Risk among Ischemic Stroke Patients
Background: Thrombocytopenia has been associated with increased mortality in nonstroke conditions. Because its role in acute ischemic stroke is less well understood, we sought to determine whether thrombocytopenia at admission for acute ischemic stroke was associated with in-hospital mortality.Methods: We used data from a retrospective cohort of stroke patients (1998-2003) at 5 U.S. hospitals. Risk factors considered included conditions that can lead to thrombocytopenia (e.g., liver disease), increase bleeding risk (e.g., hemophilia), medications with antiplatelet effects (e.g., aspirin), and known predictors of mortality ...

Elevated International Normalized Ratio as a Manifestation of Post-thrombolytic Coagulopathy in Acute Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: We report an under-recognized early transient coagulopathy associated with elevated INR in stroke patients after treatment with tPA.

HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitor (Statin) Prescribing for Ischemic Stroke Patients at Hospital Discharge (P2.306)
Conclusions: Our observations suggest that neurologists may be more likely to prescribe a statin at the time of discharge for whites in group 3 (diabetics age 40-75 with LDL 70-189 without ASCVD) when compared to their black counterparts. Further research is needed to determine if racial disparities exist in discharge statin prescribing for stroke survivors.Disclosure: Dr. Albright has nothing to disclose.

Liver Fibrosis is Associated with Ischemic Stroke Risk in Women but not Men: The REGARDS Study
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is inconsistently associated with ischemic stroke, with one study suggesting an association in women and not men. The relative importance of liver fibrosis, as opposed to fatty liver, for cardiovascular risk is increasingly appreciated. We hypothesized that advanced liver fibrosis is associated with incident ischemic stroke risk, and especially in women.

Multifocal stroke with proliferation of small cerebral arteries in hepatopulmonary syndrome
Cirrhosis of the liver has been linked to several changes in risk of cerebrovascular disease and may increase the risk of hemorrhage while reducing the risk of ischemic stroke.1,2 The pathophysiology underlying these changes remains unclear, though intracranial hemorrhage and vascular malformations related to liver disease have been described.1,3 Cirrhosis may be complicated by hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), in which distal pulmonary arteries dilate, become tortuous, produce shunt physiology, and often produce arteriovenous (AV) malformations.4

The Paradoxical Protective Effect of Liver Steatosis on Severity and Functional Outcome of Ischemic Stroke
Conclusions: Our study shows that a higher burden of liver steatosis seems to be associated with less severe stroke and better functional outcome after ischemic stroke or TIA. Introduction Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of diseases from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis with varying degree of fibrosis, and liver cirrhosis (1, 2). NAFLD is becoming the most common chronic liver disease worldwide including Korea, affecting approximately 25% of the general population (3, 4). NAFLD is closely associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus, and is even recognized as ...

Comorbidity and the increased mortality after hospitalization for stroke: a population-based cohort study.
CONCLUSION: Comorbidity, notably cancer and advanced renal or liver disease, increased one-year mortality after stroke beyond the combined effects expected from either disease acting alone.

Ischemic stroke in liver cirrhosis: epidemiology, risk factors, and in-hospital outcomes
Conclusion Ischemic stroke was often observed in patients with cirrhosis, and it significantly increased the in-hospital mortality. The association of inflammation, coagulation disorders, and viral hepatitis with development of ischemic stroke in liver cirrhosis should be further evaluated in prospective cohort studies.

Preoperative Stroke and Outcomes after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Conclusions: The authors found no evidence that more recent preoperative stroke predisposed patients undergoing CABG surgery to suffer postoperative stroke, death, or prolonged length of stay. The combination of prior stroke and myocardial infarction substantially increased perioperative risk.

IJERPH, Vol. 17, Pages 9568: The Association between Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Stroke: Results from the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES)
Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the risk of stroke incidence gradually increased with the degree of FLI. Individuals with NAFLD should be properly counseled and monitored for risk for stroke.

Predictive Risk Factors of In-Hospital Mortality Following Acute Stroke in the United States: Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Database, 2006-2010 (P02.015)
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of in-hospital mortality is relatively high following acute stroke (8.42%). We identified multiple risk factors of in-hospital mortality in acute stroke patients. The strongest risk factor is the type stroke (hemorrhagic). The present finding suggests that patients at increased risk of mortality can be identified and additional treatment for prevention might be warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Naderi has nothing to disclose.
