Abstract 206: Aiming to Improve Stroke Care Continuity with Primary Care Follow-up Appointments Scheduled Prior to Hospital Discharge Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: Hospital performance with scheduling primary care follow-up appointments improved significantly; however, only 1 in 4 patients had an appointment scheduled prior to discharge. Case study analysis of missed opportunities may help identify barriers and facilitators associated with access, availability, and awareness that can be addressed in future improvement cycles.

Barriers and Facilitators of Stroke Recovery: Perspectives From African Americans With Stroke, Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals
Introduction and Goal: Stroke is a serious health condition that disproportionally affects African-Americans relative to non-Hispanic whites. In the absence of clearly defined reasons for racial disparities in stroke recovery and subsequent stroke outcomes, a critical first step in mitigating poor stroke outcomes is to explore potential barriers and facilitators of poststroke recovery in African-American adults with stroke. The purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore poststroke recovery across the care continuum from the perspective of African-American adults with stroke, caregivers of African-American adults wi...

Cross-Sectional Survey of Workload and Burnout Among Japanese Physicians Working in Stroke Care: The Nationwide Survey of Acute Stroke Care Capacity for Proper Designation of Comprehensive Stroke Center in Japan (J-ASPECT) Study Original Articles
Conclusions— The primary risk factors for burnout are heavy workload, short sleep duration, relatively little experience, and low mental quality of life. Prospective research is required to confirm these findings and develop programs for preventing burnout.

Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation in Cryptogenic Stroke: A Case–Control Study
Conclusions: Very short episodes of PAF are common in patients with CS and with SKC, but their pathogenic significance is unclear. Predominance of PAF in younger patients with CS and embolic infarct pattern suggests a causative role in these cases. More research is needed before prolonged cardiac rhythm monitoring can be recommended to guide anticoagulation in CS patients.

Intravenous Thrombolysis in Posterior Circulation Stroke
Conclusions: Up to date, no data about PCIS and IVT are available from RTCs. Based on limited results from retrospective clinical studies and case series, IVT is safer for use in PCIS than in ACIS. Patients with brainstem ischemia, vertebral artery occlusion, and absence of basilar or posterior cerebral artery occlusion could be considered for treatment with IVT even in borderline cases. Time to IVT in PCIS seems to be a less crucial factor than in ACIS. IVT for PCIS may be beneficial even after 4.5 h from symptom onset.

Age- and Sex-Associated Impacts of Body Mass Index on Stroke Type Risk: A 27-Year Prospective Cohort Study in a Low-Income Population in China
Conclusions Being overweight increased the risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes; obesity was only associated with an increased risk of IS. Additionally, the positive association between BMI and stroke risk was only observed in participants aged <65 years and the associations differed between men and women. Being overweight increased the risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes in men and being underweight increased their risk of hemorrhagic stroke. In women, being overweight increased the hemorrhagic stroke risk, whereas obesity increased their IS risks. The high prevalence of hypertension and elevat...

Shengui Sansheng San Ameliorates Cerebral Energy Deficiency via Citrate Cycle After Ischemic Stroke
Conclusion In summary, SSS extraction significantly ameliorates cerebral energy metabolism via boosting citrate cycle, which mainly embodies the enhancements of blood glucose concentration, glucose and lactate transportation and glucose utilization, as well as the regulations of relative enzymes activities in citrate cycle. These ameliorations ultimately resulted in numerous ATP yield after stroke, which improved neurological function and infarcted volume. Collectively, it suggests that SSS extraction has exerted advantageous effect in the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Ethics Statement All animal operations were accor...

Delay in the Diagnosis of Basilar Artery Ischemic Stroke (S51.007)
Conclusions: Our results suggest that both pre-hospital and in-hospital processes cause substantial delays in the diagnosis of basilar artery stroke. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these results.Disclosure: Dr. Burns has nothing to disclose. Dr. Sestokas has nothing to disclose. Dr. Carr has nothing to disclose. Dr. Lau has nothing to disclose. Dr. Green has nothing to disclose. Dr. Cervantes-Arslanian has nothing to disclose. Dr. Salem has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kase has nothing to disclose.

Racial Disparities in Stroke Recovery Persistence in the Post-Acute Stroke Recovery Phase: Evidence from the Health and Retirement Study.
Conclusion: Our data suggest that the effects of aging, sex and unique factors associated with race should be taken into consideration for future studies of post-stroke recovery and therapy. PMID: 32346280 [PubMed - in process]

Racial and ethnic disparities in stroke outcomes: a scoping review of post-stroke disability assessment tools.
CONCLUSIONS: A wide variety of assessments are used to examine disparities in post-stroke disability across the time course of stroke recovery. Several studies have identified disparities through a variety of assessments; however, substantial problems abound from the assessments used including inconsistent use of assessments, lacking evidence on the validity of assessments among racial/ethnic groups, and inadequate representation among all racial/ethnic populations comprising the US. Implications for Rehabilitation An enhanced understanding of racial/ethnic disparities in post-stroke disability outcomes is inherently impor...

System-integrated technology-enabled model of care to improve the health of stroke patients in rural China: protocol for SINEMA--a cluster-randomized controlled trial
This study aims to develop a system-integrated technology-enabled intervention model of care (SINEMA) for the secondary prevention of stroke in rural China and to evaluate the effectiveness of the model compared with usual care.MethodsThe SINEMA model is being implemented and evaluated through a one-year cluster-randomized controlled trial in Nanhe County, Hebei Province in China. Fifty villages from five townships are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention or the control arm (usual care) with a target to enroll 25 stroke survivors per village. Village doctors in the intervention arm 1) receive systematic cas...

Acute Stroke Due to High Voltage Electrocution (P4.347)
We present a case of acute stroke due to high voltage electrocution. Case presentation 38 year old white male accidently grabbed a live wire in the field and got electrocuted. He sustained 2nd degree electric burns at the entry wound in his right palm with a small exist wound in the right foot. On admission, he was stable with total amnesia of the incident event. He had no major medical, psychiatric or substance abuse problems. He remained confused in the hospital with expressive aphasia. Repeat CT scan of the head showed multiple hypo density in both frontal and left partial region. MRI confirmed the presence of acute isc...

Stroke Recovery During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Position Paper on Recommendations for Rehabilitation
Arch Phys Med Rehabil. 2022 May 6:S0003-9993(22)00364-1. doi: 10.1016/j.apmr.2022.04.004. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHealthcare delivery shifted and adapted with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 (CoV-2). Stroke care was negatively impacted across the care continuum and may lead to poor community living outcomes in those who survived a stroke during the ongoing pandemic. For instance, delays in seeking care, changes in length of stays, and shifts in discharge patterns were observed during the pandemic. Those seeking care were young...

Increased risk for stroke in burn patients: A population-based one-year follow-up study
Abstract: Introduction: The study aimed to explore the frequency and risk of stroke following hospitalization for burn through the analysis of a population-based dataset in Taiwan.Methods: We identified 692 hospitalized subjects who had received a diagnosis of burn. We randomly selected 2768 comparison subjects to match the study subjects by sex and age group. We individually tracked each subject for one year identifying all those who received a diagnosis of stroke during that period. Cox proportional hazards regressions were performed to calculate the longitudinal hazard of stroke between the two cohorts.Results: We found...
