Association Between Anthropometric Measurements and Stroke in Patients with Low CHADS2 Score (P1.226)
Conclusion: In contrast to the available literature, we found that patients with low risk CHADS2 score with subsequent acute stroke were taller with statistical significance than those with high CHADS2 score. The implication of this finding is that such variations in anthropometric measurements might predispose patients with atrial fibrillation to higher risk of stroke regardless of their CHADS2 score. Accordingly, stroke risk stratification models should include these measurements in contemporary practice.Disclosure: Dr. Hassan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Villines has nothing to disclose.

Ultra-short door-to-needle times of 10 minutes or less in stroke thrombolysis - experience from 63 cases (S8.002)
Conclusions:An ultra-short DNT ≤10 minutes can be achieved safely in unequivocal clinical scenarios, with pre-notification of the multidisciplinary stroke team practically being a sine-qua-non.Disclosure: Dr. Topakian has nothing to disclose.

Thrombolytic Utilization in Ischemic Stroke Is Significantly Higher in US Hospitals with Neurology Residency Program (S02.006)
CONCLUSIONS: Stroke care at NR hospitals is associated with an increased thrombolytic utilization rate. The increased tPA utilization at NR between 2002-2006 may be related to the rapid increase in Primary Stroke Centers across the country.Disclosure: Dr. Moradiya has nothing to disclose.

Increasing utilization of tissue plasminogen activator in acute ischemic stroke with staff changes (P4.281)
Conclusions:There was a significant increase in iv t-PA utilization during phase 2, without any change in patient demographics, inclusion or exclusion criteria, and with an actual reduction in iv t-PA eligible AIS patients. We believe this change occurred because the attending physician was present in the hospital to personally evaluate all AIS patients and therefore more likely to administer iv t-PA to eligible patients.Disclosure: Dr. Majeed has nothing to disclose.

Long Term Impact of ACGME Duty Hour Restrictions on Mortality Rate for Acute Ischemic Stroke (P1.183)
Conclusions: Our results indicate that the ACGME duty hour restrictions had a positive impact on patient safety for AIS while reducing the weekly hours worked by residents. Both hospital types showed significant reduction in mortality rate over the 13 years. More research to determine the long-term impact of ACGME restrictions on mortality rate for other common diseases and surgical procedures is needed.Disclosure: Dr. Berry has nothing to disclose.

Rate of Endovascular Therapy in Octogenarian/Nonagenarian Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Compared to Younger Patients (I2.007)
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.

Ischemic Stroke Outcomes in Oman: Experience of a University Hospital Based Stroke Registry (P6.278)
Conclusions:Ischemic stroke in Oman reflects the high morbidity/mortality seen in most communities in the region. Characteristics of incident stroke such as stroke recurrence, type, severity and cardiovascular comorbidity are likely the major determinants of stroke outcome. A relatively lower prevalence of extracranial artery disease and possible greater prevalence of multiple stroke mechanisms may also influence on outcomes and merit further study.Disclosure: Dr. Gujjar has nothing to disclose.

Prehospital Factors Associated with Stroke Misdiagnosis by EMS Providers (S35.006)
Conclusions: LICH EMS providers missed 41% of strokes and our findings suggest that greater clinical suspicion for stroke should be exercised in patients who have a higher prehospital systolic blood pressure, who have a dispatch call of stroke, past medical history of diabetes or stroke and in those who are unconscious.Study support: NIH grants 1U01NS044364, R01 HL096944, 1U10NS077378 and 1U10NS080377.Disclosure: Dr. Brandler has nothing to disclose.

Pattern of Acute Stroke Presentation in a Young Tertiary Hospital in South-South, Nigeria: Appraisal of Risk Factors and Clinical Outcomes (P1.118)
CONCLUSION: Stroke is associated with high mortality with patients presenting relatively young. Hemorrhagic stroke is common though ischemic stroke is still the commonest. Hypertension is the commonest risk factor. Family history of stroke and recurrent or history of previous stroke are also high.Disclosure: Dr. Obiabo has received personal compensation for activities with Novartis as a speaker.

Hospital Factors Associated with Feeding Tube Placement for US Stroke Inpatients (S45.004)
CONCLUSIONS: Although feeding tube insertion rates have remained stable among ischemic stroke patients over the past decade, variability across hospitals was large. Differences across hospitals may be partly explained by external factors beyond the patient-centered decision to insert a PEG tube.Study Supported by: American Stroke AssociationDisclosure: Dr. George has nothing to disclose.

Predictive Risk Factors of In-Hospital Mortality Following Acute Stroke in the United States: Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Database, 2006-2010 (P02.015)
CONCLUSIONS: The rate of in-hospital mortality is relatively high following acute stroke (8.42%). We identified multiple risk factors of in-hospital mortality in acute stroke patients. The strongest risk factor is the type stroke (hemorrhagic). The present finding suggests that patients at increased risk of mortality can be identified and additional treatment for prevention might be warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Naderi has nothing to disclose.

Risk factors of stroke recurrence in a low income country: case of Senegal (P6.289)
Conclusions:Stroke recurrence is relatively frequent in Senegal. Frequently, patients are irregularly followed up sometimes because of the unavailability of neurologists and neurology unit in peripheral regions and the cost of treatment. Effort should be done to improve the management of cardiovascular risk factors.Disclosure: Dr. Gams Massi has nothing to disclose. Dr. Nyassinde has nothing to disclose.

Patients with Stroke and Dysphagia: Demographics and Trends in Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrotomy Tube Use in Stroke Patients in the United States from 1988-2010 (P01.219)
CONCLUSIONS: The use of PEG tubes has increased over time in US hospital admissions for acute stroke, and was associated with multiple comorbidities, greater length of stay and age > 74. This shows the increasing awareness of post-stroke dysphagia.Disclosure: Dr. Johnson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Dubinsky has received personal compensation for activities with Allergan, Inc.
