An exploratory descriptive cohort study of 90-day prognosis after acute ischaemic stroke with mechanical thrombectomy
CONCLUSION: Almost half of the surviving patients had a poor prognosis. In our country, this surgery and rehabilitation impose a significant financial burden that needs to be addressed. However, the longer length of hospital stay and higher costs at discharge may be contributing factors to worse outcomes. The outcomes of comprehensive nursing assessment of the patients, including nursing needs, activities of daily living, and neurological function, can predict their outcome.IMPACT STATEMENT: We recommend a comprehensive nursing assessment at discharge that predicts patient outcomes and can be used for subsequent targeted i...

Factors Associated With Length of Hospitalization in Patients Admitted With Transient Ischemic Attack in United States Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Approximately 75% of patients admitted with transient ischemic attack stay in the hospital for ≥2 days, with the most important determinants being pre-existing medical comorbidities. Longer duration of hospital stay is associated with 2- to 5-fold greater hospitalization charges.

Life-saving clot-busting drugs more likely to be administered in hospitals with neurology residency programs
Stroke patients treated at hospitals with neurology residency programs are significantly more likely to get life-saving clot-busting drugs than those seen at other teaching or non-teaching hospitals, new Johns Hopkins-led research suggests. The findings, described online in the journal Neurology, suggest that patients at academic medical centers with neurology residency programs likely benefit from having stroke specialists on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week...

Rate of Endovascular Therapy in Octogenarian/Nonagenarian Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Compared to Younger Patients (P1.110)
Conclusions: Frequency of EVT and IV-TPA use in AIS patients 蠅80years are increasing but rates remain significantly lower compared with younger patients. Disparity in EVT use in octogenarian/nonagenarian also exists by race and hospital factors. Targeted efforts are needed to lessen this disparity.Disclosure: Dr. Otite has nothing to disclose.

Effectiveness of a pressure-relieving mattress in an acute stroke ward.
Abstract Between the 10 May and 18 July 2016, St Helens and Knowsley Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust conducted a small, non-controlled evaluation set out to assess the performance of the Apex Pro-care Auto pressure-relieving mattress in an acute stroke ward. Seven patients, assessed as being at medium-to-high risk of developing a pressure ulcer (PU), were recruited into the evaluation; the mean age was 73.1 years. Three patients were bed bound and four had restricted mobility. The average length of time spent on the mattress was 31 days. At the end of the evaluation, none of the patients had developed a PU while usin...

ASPECT Score and Its Application to Vasospasm in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage: a Case –Control Study
AbstractDelayed cerebral ischaemia (DCI) is a significant complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) and is strongly associated with poorer outcome. The Alberta Stroke Program Early Computer Tomography (ASPECT) score is an established scoring tool, used in acute ischaemic stroke, to quantify early ischaemic changes on CT head scans. We aim to identify if ASPECT scoring correlates with functional outcome in DCI following aSAH. Retrospective case –control study. Inclusion criteria: admission to the Department of Neurosurgery at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (a tertiary neurosurgical centre in the Unite...

Utilization Of In-Hospital Palliative Care For Ischemic Stroke Deaths In United States (S45.005)
Conclusions:In-hospital palliative care is associated with more conservative resource utilization. Significant patient and hospital related differences exists in palliative care utilization for AIS deaths in United States. A growing concern over high cost associated with end of life care in United States is expected to affect the trend of offering and adopting in-hospital palliative services impacting health care finances and quality of care measures.Disclosure: Dr. Shreyansh has nothing to disclose.
