Short- and Long-term Survival after Stroke in Hospitalized Patients in Chile: A Nationwide 5-Year Study
Conclusions: Short- and long-term survival after ischemic stroke was heterogeneous by geographic regions and type of health insurance, regardless age and sex were the strongest predictors. This suggests an impact of socioeconomic factors and access to acute management of strokes on survival.

P040/41 Imaging study in stroke diagnosis and treatment in a referral center Chile
ConclusionAs a conclusion, different topics of obtaining and observing images in Stroke are obtained. Either CT, MRA, Cerebral Angiography. Both nurses and technicians should know some generalities and topics of nomenclature, neuroanatomy, general and specific characteristics of each of the imaging techniques that we want to share for this ETMINT 2023 seminar.Disclosure of InterestNothing to disclose

Long-term Adherence to National Guidelines for Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke: A Prospective Cohort Study in a Public Hospital in Chile
Conclusions: The observed significant decrease in adherence to oral anticoagulation in patients with cardioembolic stroke suggests a need for the implementation of specific strategies to achieve the desired secondary prevention goals in these patients. Future research into the evaluation of other factors that could be associated with the lack of adherence to these guidelines, measurements of therapeutic goals, and new therapeutic strategies that are easier to use and that are associated with less risk could improve the prognosis of these patients.

Association between Mapuche Ethnicity and Stroke: A Case-Control Study
Background: There is evidence of a greater incidence of stroke in native populations and minorities. A total of 34% of the population in the Araucan ía Region is indigenous. The association between Mapuche ethnicity and stroke is unknown. The aim of the study was to estimate the magnitude of the association between Mapuche ethnicity and stroke occurrence in patients admitted to the Dr. Hernán Henríquez Aravena Hospital (HHHA) in Temuco, Chile . Methods: We performed an incident case–control-paired study with patients hospitalized with an acute stroke in the internal medicine service and controls from other medical services at the HHHA.

Stroke symptoms, risk factors awareness and personal decision making in Chile. A national survey
Stroke is the second main cause of death and the first cause of acquired disability in the world.1 Even though there is a slight decrease in its incidence, DALYs and mortality rates in Latin America since 1990, the absolute numbers are increasing due to rapid population aging. In 2019 e there were 30,704 discharges of a new or recurrent stroke and 7,989 deaths related to stroke becoming the second main specific cause of death in Chile.23 Reperfusion therapy rates are low in Latin America,4-6 with many possible barriers including inequity in accessing complex systems of care for stroke.

Cervical Artery Dissections with and without stroke, risk factors and prognosis: a Chilean prospective cohort
We aimed to characterize spontaneous cervical artery dissection (CeAD) patients with and without stroke and describe risk factors for cerebrovascular complications in a Chilean prospective cohort.Methods: Consecutive CeAD patients admitted to a Chilean center confirmed by neuroimaging. Logistic regression was used.Results: 168 patients were included, median follow-up time was 157 days. Stroke occurred in 49 (29.2%) cases, 4 (2%) patients died, all of whom had a stroke, and 10 (6%) presented CeAD recurrence.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on stroke severity and mortality in the south-east of Santiago, Chile
Background and purpose: Chile has been one of the most affected countries by the COVID-19 pandemic, with one of the highest case rates per population. This has affected the epidemiological behaviour of various pathologies. We analyze the impact of the pandemic on the number of admissions due to stroke, its severity and mortality in Santiago, Chile.Methods: a multicenter observational study based on the records of the 3 hospitals of the South East health service in Santiago, Chile. We recorded the number of patients admitted for ischemic stroke between 01 January 2020 and 30 June 2020.

Social and health determinants related to adverse short-term outcomes after a first-ever stroke in adults younger than 65 years
Stroke-related mortality and disability-adjusted life years in adults younger than 65 have increased over the last decade. However, geographical differences in distributing these outcomes could reflect dissimilarity in determinants. Therefore, this cross-sectional study of secondary data from Chilean hospitals aims to analyze the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with in-hospital case-fatality risk or acquired neurologic deficits (adverse outcomes) in inpatients aged 18 to 64 who experienced their first-ever stroke.

Generalizing post-stroke prognoses from research data to clinical data
Publication date: Available online 14 October 2019Source: NeuroImage: ClinicalAuthor(s): Robert Loughnan, Diego L. Lorca-Puls, Andrea Gajardo-Vidal, Valeria Espejo-Videla, Céline R. Gillebert, Dante Mantini, Cathy J. Price, Thomas M.H. HopeAbstractAround a third of stroke survivors suffer from acquired language disorders (aphasia), but current medicine cannot predict whether or when they might recover. Prognostic research in this area increasingly draws on datasets associating structural brain imaging data with outcome scores for ever-larger samples of stroke patients. The aim is to learn brain-behavior trends from these ...

PND48 Real World Data and COVID-19: Healthcare Impact in Emergency Care, Stroke Emergency Care and Stroke-Related Deaths in Chile
Stroke is a disabling condition and a leading cause of premature deaths in Chile. Before the covid-19 outbreak, access to first-line and second-line treatments was scarce already. The covid-19 outbreak was pointed-out as responsible for decreasing general emergency care, stroke emergency care, and stroke-related death rates, and there is a need to quantify those effects.
