Association Between Midlife Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Risk of Stroke: The Cooper Center Longitudinal Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— There is a strong, inverse association between midlife CRF and stroke risk in later life independent of baseline and antecedent burden of risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and atrial fibrillation.

Stroke and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Carotid Disease Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Structural Heart Disease
Conclusions— CD is common among TAVR patients, present in 1 of 5. CD was not associated with an increased risk of stroke or mortality at 30 day or 1 year. Post-TAVR stroke seems to be because of mechanisms other than CD.

Drivers of Costs Associated With Reperfusion Therapy in Acute Stroke: The Interventional Management of Stroke III Trial Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Minimizing the time to start of intravenous tPA and decreasing the use of routine general anesthesia may improve the cost-effectiveness of medical and endovascular therapy for acute stroke. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00359424.

Atrial Fibrillation, Stroke, and Anticoagulation in Medicare Beneficiaries: Trends by Age, Sex, and Race, 1992-2010 Stroke
Conclusions Ischemic stroke rates among Medicare AF patients decreased significantly in all demographic subpopulations from 1992–2010, coincident with increasing warfarin use. Ischemic stroke rates remained higher and warfarin use rates remained lower for women and blacks with AF, groups whose baseline CHADS scores were higher.

A Nationwide Analysis of Outcomes of Stroke in Hospitalized Patients with Essential Thrombocythemia: 2006 to 2014
Conclusions:Patients with ET who are hospitalized with stroke have significantly worse outcomes. This study demonstrated that a statistically significant difference exists among different age groups of patients with ET and stoke who died during hospitalization when stratification is made using age groups and Charlson Score. This study may serve as an initial point to include new risk factors for further risk stratification. Early identification of patients at higher risk may reduce the incidence and decrease the morbidity of stroke in patients with ET.DisclosuresKota: BMS: Honoraria; Novartis: Honoraria; Xcenda: Honoraria;...

Quality of Care and Ischemic Stroke Risk After Hospitalization for Transient Ischemic Attack: Findings From Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Original Articles
Conclusions— TIA patients with high estimated ischemic stroke risk are less likely to receive defect-free care than low-risk patients. Standardized risk assessment and delivery of optimal inpatient care are needed to reduce this risk-treatment mismatch.

Refining Stroke Prediction in Atrial  Fibrillation Patients by Addition of African-American Ethnicity to CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc Score
Conclusions In patients> 65 years of age with newly diagnosed AF, the addition of ethnicity to CHA2DS2-VASc score  significantly improved stroke prediction.

Role of diabetes and insulin use in the risk of stroke and acute myocardial infarction in patients with atrial fibrillation: A Medicare analysis
ConclusionThere is an incremental risk of ischemic stroke and MI from non-diabetics to non-insulin diabetics with the highest risk in insulin users. Protective effect of anticoagulation is attenuated with insulin use.

Hospital Discharge Disposition of Stroke Patients in Tennessee.
CONCLUSIONS: Our investigation revealed that the hospital discharge disposition pattern of patients with stroke in Tennessee was associated with the key patient characteristics of selected demographics, clinical indicators, and insurance status. These analyses resulted in the development of an easy-to-use predictive tool for early determination of hospital discharge disposition status. PMID: 28863224 [PubMed - in process]

Increased risk of ischemic stroke in systemic sclerosis: a national cohort study of US veterans.
CONCLUSION: SSc is independently associated with a higher risk of ischemic stroke among U.S. veterans. Patients with SSc represent a population likely to benefit from targeted stroke screening or prevention therapies. PMID: 30877213 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Temporal Trends in Ischemic Stroke and Anticoagulation Therapy for Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: Impact of Diabetes
ConclusionsIschemic stroke declined and warfarin use increased similarly in Medicare patients with and without diabetes. Ischemic stroke rates were consistently higher in diabetes patients, validating the inclusion of diabetes in risk calculators. The population of Medicare patients with diabetes who did not receive warfarin deserves future attention. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract 239: Rates of Atrial Fibrillation Diagnoses and Stroke Events by Combination of Risk Factors Poster Session II
Conclusions: Results from a very large sample of patients in a claims database confirm increased rates of AF and stroke in patients with known risk ractors, while adding to the knowledge base regarding the risk levels among many less prevalent combinations of these factors. The results suggest that patients should be monitored more vigilantly as age progresses for signs of AF, and possibly treated more aggressively for risk factors that increase the incidence of AF and stroke. In particular, patients age 75+ may be considered to be at risk based on age alone.
