Stroke in the Young: Etiologies and Risk Factors (P7.124)
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke in the young shares many of the same common modifiable risk factors as stroke in the elderly including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and tobacco abuse. Other unique disease processes also contribute to stroke in this age group, often less modifiable. Given the devastating morbidity and mortality of stroke in this age group, a larger public health effort for primary and secondary prevention of stroke in the young should be aggressively pursued.Disclosure: Dr. Govind has nothing to disclose.

Ischemic stroke subtypes and migraine with visual aura in the ARIC study
Conclusion: In participants with migraine with visual aura in late middle age, increased risk of cardioembolic stroke was observed. Migraine with visual aura was linked to increased stroke risk, while migraine without visual aura was not, over the period of 20 years. These results are specific to older migraineurs.

Analysis of Diagnostic Accuracy, Workflow and Time to Treatment during In-house 'Stroke Codes (P4.282)
Conclusions:Only a minority of ‘stroke codes’ were activated for new ischemic stroke/TIA or large vessel occlusion, while the remaining codes were for altered mental status, seizure, or non-neurologic etiologies. A notable delay occurred between time of code call and imaging. Improved identification of focal symptoms and use of parallel processing for evaluation will be studied in a prospective analysis in effort to improve patient identification and response times.Disclosure: Dr. Manners has nothing to disclose. Dr. Jadhav has nothing to disclose.

Remote poststroke headache in children: Characteristics and association with stroke recurrence
Conclusions Remote poststroke headache is a common morbidity among pediatric stroke survivors, particularly in older children. Headaches may increase health care utilization, including neuroimaging and hospital admissions. We identified a possible association between poststroke headache and stroke recurrence.

Evaluating Efficacy of a Stroke Code Process in Identifying Stroke Mimics Since Its Implementation in a New Primary Stroke Center (P2.316)
Conclusions: Our findings demonstrate that the rate of stroke mimics actually increased and plateaued over time following inception of a new PSC. Hospitals looking to establish a new PSC should be vigilant in continually reevaluating their programs to ensure stroke mimic rates remain low from year to year.Disclosure: Dr. Blair has nothing to disclose.

Performance of bedside stroke recognition tools in discriminating childhood stroke from mimics
Conclusions: Adult stroke recognition tools perform poorly in children and require modification to be useful for pediatric stroke identification. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that, for children presenting to the ED with brain attack symptoms, the CPSS and ROSIER tools do not accurately distinguish strokes from mimics.

Awareness of Risk Factors and Warning Signs of Stroke in a Nigeria University
This study assessed awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs among students and staff of Obafemi Awolowo University, Nigeria.Methods: This was a cross sectional survey involving 994 (500 students and 494 staff) respondents. Information on the awareness of stroke risk factors and warning signs was collected with the aid of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis.Results: Weakness (66.2%) was the most commonly identified warning sign of stroke with more staff (69.8%) identifying correctly than students (62.6%). Hypertension (83.4%) was the most commonly identif...

Migraine and Hemorrhagic Stroke: A Meta-analysis Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Available studies suggest that subjects with migraine have an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. Further studies are needed to address the hemorrhagic stroke risk according to migraine type, age, sex, and hemorrhagic stroke type.

Guidelines for the Prevention of Stroke in Women: A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association AHA/ASA Guideline
Conclusions— To more accurately reflect the risk of stroke in women across the lifespan, as well as the clear gaps in current risk scores, we believe a female-specific stroke risk score is warranted.

Mechanisms and outcomes of stroke during pregnancy and the postpartum period: A cross-sectional study
Conclusion: Compared with nonpregnant women of the same age group, women with PAS had fewer vascular risk factors. Cerebral venous thrombosis and RCVS were more common in PAS, most of which occurred postpartum. These results provide further evidence for the unique pathophysiology of pregnancy-related stroke, raising important questions for future investigation.

Emergent MRI during a Stroke Alert. Single center experience. (P6.299)
Conclusions:Clinical presentation and head CT provide sufficient information for decision making about provision of IV tPA. Emergent MRI increases door-to-needle time and may only be used in rare cases when history is not available. Presence of headache, absence of atrial fibrillation and low NIHSS score may help differentiating stroke mimics from AIS.Disclosure: Dr. Kapoor has nothing to disclose.

Migraine Improves after Ischemic Stroke
Objective: To assess if migraine frequency spontaneously changes after stroke.Background: Patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure has been reported to decrease migraine attacks. Because many closures are carried out after an ischemic stroke, it is possible that migraine spontaneously improves after stroke.Methods: We have prospectively collected all patients with ischemic stroke and active migraine admitted to our stroke unit and have compared their migraine frequency before and 6, 12, and 24 months after stroke.Results: We studied 43 patients. Mean follow-up was 1.3 ± .5 years. The mean number of migraine attacks per month de...

FDA strengthens warning that NSAIDs increase heart attack and stroke risk
Back in 2005, the FDA warned that taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and naproxen increased the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. Last week it took the unusual step of further strengthening this warning. This was done on the advice of an expert panel that reviewed new information about NSAIDs and their risks. Because NSAIDs are widely used, it’s important to be aware of downsides of taking an NSAID and to take steps to limit the risk. Many people take NSAIDs to relieve mild to moderate pain. These medications may be particularly effective in conditions in which pain results pri...
