Abstract 304: Developing a Patient Registry for Atrial Fibrillation to Improve The Quality of Stroke Prevention in a Safety Net Institution Session Title: Poster Session III
Conclusions: A baseline assessment of stroke prophylaxis among atrial fibrillation patients in a safety net health system demonstrates nonguideline-concordant anticoagulation use among low-risk patients and suboptimal anticoagulation use among high-risk patients, patterns that could not be explained by HAS-BLED score.

Effect of Race on Outcomes (Stroke and Death) in Patients >65 Years With Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with stroke and death. We sought to determine whether there are any racial differences in the outcomes of death and stroke in patients with AF. We used Medicare administrative data from January 1, 2010, to December 31, 2011, to identify 517,941 patients with newly diagnosed AF. Of these, 452,986 patients (87%) were non-Hispanic white, 36,425 (7%) were black, and 28,530 (6%) were Hispanic. The association between race and outcomes of death and stroke were measured using Cox proportional hazard models.

Chiropractic care and the risk of vertebrobasilar stroke: results of a case–control study in U.S. commercial and Medicare Advantage populations
The objective of this study was to compare the associations between chiropractic care and VBA stroke with recent primary care physician (PCP) care and VBA stroke. Methods: The study design was a case–control study of commercially insured and Medicare Advantage (MA) health plan members in the U.S. population between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013. Administrative data were used to identify exposures to chiropractic and PCP care. Separate analyses using conditional logistic regression were conducted for the commercially insured and the MA populations. The analysis of the commercial population was further stratified by age (

Marked regional variation in acute stroke treatment among medicare beneficiaries
The administration of intravenous tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and intra-arterial treatment (IAT) for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke is an ongoing field of debate and optimization in the medical literature. With acute ischemic stroke being a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, especially for the elderly population, the optimal treatment of stroke is an ongoing concern.
