Prognostic Factors of the Lethality of Stroke at the Sour ô Sanou University Teaching Hospital of Burkina Faso
Conclusion: The study has identified three prognostic factors of lethality that are the hemorrhagic stroke type, the altered state of consciousness, and the central facial paralysis. Given the high case fatality, it is important to develop and implement effective prevention and management strategies adapted to the resources for the optimal control of stroke in Africa.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2022;12:36 –46

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.

Perioperative stroke in patients undergoing elective spinal surgery: a retrospective analysis using the Japanese diagnosis procedure combination database
Conclusions: Perioperative stroke occurred in 0.22 % of patients undergoing spinal surgery. Resection of a spinal cord tumor was associated with increased risk of perioperative stroke as well as advanced age, comorbidities at admission, cervical spine surgery, surgery in a teaching hospital, and length of stay.

Management of Fever, Hyperglycemia, and Dysphagia in an Acute Stroke Unit.
CONCLUSIONS: Current practice does not reflect best practice. Barriers to research translation are currently unclear but must be overcome to improve care quality for stroke survivors. Multifaceted interventions to ensure uptake of care protocols are required. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Consistent provision of evidence-based practice needs to be available to ensure patients are provided with the best nursing care following stroke.

An observational study of implicit motor imagery using laterality recognition of the hand after stroke.
CONCLUSION: Implicit motor imagery is affected in a significant number of patients after stroke with these deficits related to lesions to the motor networks as well as other deficits seen after stroke. This research provides new insights into how laterality recognition is related to a number of other deficits after stroke, including the mental rotation of 3D objects, attention and dyspraxia. Further research is required to determine if treatment programmes can improve deficits in laterality recognition and impact functional outcomes after stroke.

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.

Retrospective Analysis of Catheter-Acquired Urinary Tract Infection: Relationship to Stroke Diagnosis
Conclusion: Stroke patients were more likely to develop CAUTI compared with nonstroke patients. These patients should be considered as key targets when implementing interventions aimed at reducing CAUTIs. Use of steroids may be associated with a higher likelihood of CAUTI in stroke patients. Implications: Clinical nurse specialists are directly influential in preventing CAUTIs. This study provides evidence regarding the association between stroke and CAUTI to clinical nurse specialists to help them plan CAUTI prevention initiatives.

The prevalence of frailty among acute stroke patients, and evaluation of method of assessment.
CONCLUSION: Frailty is present in around one in four patients with acute stroke; if pre-frailty is included, then a frailty syndrome is seen in three out of four patients. The Frailty Index is a valid measure of frailty in stroke; however, there is little agreement between this scale and other measurements of frailty. PMID: 30971115 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
