E-191 Influence of socioeconomic factors on the development of post-stroke depression in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage survivors
ConclusionThe overall risk of developing a new depression disorder after aSAH was 16% in this retrospective study. The female sex was close to 4 times and substance use were six and half time more likely to develop new depressive symptoms; therefore, these risk factors should be considered when screening patients for depression after aSAH.Disclosures D.

Early-Term Complications after Carotid Endarterectomy and Their Risk Factors: Eight-Year Employment of Local Treatment Protocol of a Russian High-Volume Center
Conclusions: The present retrospective analysis of the local carotid surgery register showed appropriate outcomes after CEA regarding the cumulative incidence of MACE, which is comparable to previously published international register data. A previous history of stroke, myocardial infarction, COPD, a prolonged clamping time during CEA, and diabetes mellitus were found to be factors of high-risk for cardiovascular mortality. A prolonged clamping was identified as an independent predictor of any stroke.Eur Surg Res

Visual impairment and multimorbidity in a representative sample of the Spanish population
Conclusions: Arthritis, stroke and the co-occurrence of various chronic physical diseases are associated with higher prevalence of visual impairment. Visual impairment is associated with higher prevalence of depression and poorer cognitive function results. There is a need to implement patient-centered care involving special visual assessment in these cases.

Real-World Comparisons of Cardiovascular Events between Different Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Among Patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia
CONCLUSION: CP-CML patients treated with different TKIs (ponatinib, bosutinib, imatinib, dasatinib, and nilotinib) did not have different incidence of cardiovascular events (MACE, AOEs, VTEs) in this small cohort of real-world patients with ≥6-month of follow-up. The results were consistent among patients with prior use of one and two TKI types.DisclosuresLevy: Takeda (Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.): Consultancy. Xie: STATinMED Research: Employment.

Sociodemographic, psychiatric and somatic risk factors for suicide: a Swedish national cohort study.
CONCLUSIONS: All psychiatric disorders, COPD, cancer, spine disorders, asthma, stroke, diabetes, ischemic heart disease and specific sociodemographic factors were independent risk factors for suicide during 8 years of follow-up. Effective prevention of suicide requires a multifaceted approach in both psychiatric and primary care settings, targeting mental disorders (especially depression), specific somatic disorders and indicators of social support.

Impact of comorbid conditions on health care expenditure and work-related outcomes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
CONCLUSION: Comorbid conditions in RA patients were associated with higher annual health care expenditure, lower likelihood of employment, higher rates of absenteeism and lower income. Despite its low prevalence, heart failure was associated with the highest incremental health care expenditure and the lowest likelihood of being employed compared to other common comorbid conditions.
