Systematic Review of Existing Stroke Guidelines: Case for a Change
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review has identified a significant evidence-practice gap in all existing national stroke guidelines published in English medium as of October 2020. These guidelines included the only current "living stroke guidelines," stroke guidelines from Australia with a real opportunity to modernize the living stroke guidelines with systems biology approach, and provide 2020 vision towards better stroke care globally. Investigation of complex disease such as stroke is best served through a systems biology approach. One of the easiest places to start is simple blood tests such as total white cell count and...

Tissue Window in Stroke Thrombolysis Study (TWIST): A Safety Study.
Conclusions: Patients who awake with their deficits can be safely treated with thrombolysis based upon a tissue window defined by NCCT and CTA/TCD. PMID: 23250122 [PubMed - in process]

Randomized controlled pilot study of a SystemCHANGETM weight management intervention in stroke survivors: rationale and protocol
This study will be the first randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a weight management intervention in stroke survivors using the SystemCHANGETM approach. Furthermore, it will be the first empirically-examined comprehensive lifestyle intervention designed to target physical activity, nutrition, and sleep to promote weight loss in stroke survivors.Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01776034

Agreement between stroke patients and family members for ascertaining pre-stroke risk for sleep apnea
Conclusions: Spouse and child proxy use of the Berlin questionnaire may be an option to assess a patient’s pre-stroke likelihood of sleep apnea. Whereas prospective studies of incident stroke in patients with and without objectively confirmed sleep apnea would require formidable resources, our results suggest that an alternative strategy may involve proxy use of the Berlin questionnaire in a retrospective study design.

Brainstem infarcts predict REM sleep behavior disorder in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusions: The results support the notion of a predominant role of brainstem injury in the development of RBD and suggest that patients with brainstem infarcts RBD should be evaluated by a clinical neurologist.

Stroke Findings in the Women's Health Initiative
Semin Reprod Med 2014; 32: 438-446DOI: 10.1055/s-0034-1384627The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trials of estrogen with or without progestin versus placebo in 27,341 postmenopausal women are the largest randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trials to look at the effect of hormone therapy on the outcomes of stroke, dementia, and cognition. Data from a parallel prospective observational study of 93,676 women examine biomarkers and risk factors associated with stroke. We summarize the results of 29 published articles in the WHI with stroke or cognition as outcomes of interest. Estrogen alone or in co...

Abstract 204: Cross-sectional Survey of Quality of Life and Workload 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 Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: Mental QOL scores of stroke physicians are significantly lower than those of the population norm. Work hours, salary, and numbers of days off are associated with the mental QOL score.

Associations between Cardioembolic Stroke and Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Conclusions:There appears to be a strong association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardioembolic (CE) stroke. In patients with OSA presenting with cryptogenic stroke, high clinical suspicion for CE is warranted. This may lead to consideration of diagnostic studies to identify CE risk factors such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). CE strokes are more common in patients with OSA even after adjusting for AF. This finding may reflect a high rate of occult paroxysmal AF in this population; alternatively, OSA may lead to CE strokes through mechanisms independent of AF.Citation:Lipford MC, Flemming KD, Calvin AD...

Photoplythesmographic Signal to Screen Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Acute Stroke Patients: Feasibility of a Prospective Clinical Pathway (P1.181)
Conclusions: Screening hospitalized patients admitted for acute stroke with a positive questionnaire and inpatient plythesmography may identify a cohort of patients with high prevalence SDB. Our screening strategy hypothesizes that inpatient ODI can be a potentially cost-effective method for early recognition of SDB in acute stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Lim-Hing has nothing to disclose.

A Randomized Sham-Controlled Trial of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure in Patients Undergoing Intensive Inpatient Rehabilitation after Acute Stroke (P3.308)
Conclusions: A sham-controlled CPAP trial among stroke rehabilitation patients is feasible and treatment with CPAP may benefit recovery, especially of cognitive function. Tolerance and adherence must be improved before the full benefits of CPAP on functional recovery can be accurately assessed in larger trials.Disclosure: Dr. Khot has received research support from Philips Respironics.
