Quality of Acute Ischemic Stroke Care in Thailand: A Prospective Multicenter Countrywide Cohort Study
Conclusions: Limited access to acute ischemic stroke care interventions were observed in many domains especially thrombolysis and stroke unit admission. These findings emphasize an urgent need for strategies to improve standard acute stroke care among developing countries.

C-Reactive Protein as a Prognostic Marker After Lacunar Stroke: Levels of Inflammatory Markers in the Treatment of Stroke Study Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Among recent lacunar stroke patients, hsCRP levels predict the risk of recurrent strokes and other vascular events. hsCRP did not predict the response to dual antiplatelets. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov. Unique identifier: NCT00059306.

Different Antiplatelet Strategies in Patients With New Ischemic Stroke While Taking Aspirin Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— This study showed that, compared with maintaining aspirin, switching to or adding alternative antiplatelet agents may be better in preventing subsequent vascular events in patients who experienced a new ischemic stroke while taking aspirin.

Amino Terminal Pro-B-Type Natriuretic Peptide, Secondary Stroke Prevention, and Choice of Antithrombotic Therapy Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— For secondary stroke prevention, elevated NT-proBNP concentrations may identify a subgroup of ischemic stroke patients without known atrial fibrillation, about 5% based on the current study, who may benefit more from anticoagulants than antiplatelet agents. Clinical Trial Registration— This trial was not registered because enrollment began before 2005.

Antiplatelet Loading Improves Behavioral Outcome in a Rabbit Model of Stroke Brief Reports
Conclusions— This study suggests that usual dual antiplatelet loading is clinically beneficial in a validated model of acute stroke. Study of usual dual antiplatelet loading in acute stroke is warranted to provide treatment to stroke victims ineligible for current therapies.

Clinical Implications of Changes in Individual Platelet Reactivity to Aspirin Over Time in Acute Ischemic Stroke Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— The results of our study showed that the increase in platelet reactivity to aspirin over time is independently associated with early neurological deterioration in patients with acute ischemic stroke. In addition, during the acute stage of ischemic stroke, serial platelet reactivity assays may be more useful than a single assay for identifying the clinical implications of aspirin platelet reactivity after ischemic stroke.

Advances in our understanding of "resistance" to antiplatelet agents for prevention of ischemic stroke.
Authors: Gorelick PB, Farooq MU Abstract We review the role of aspirin and clopidogrel for prevention of ischemic stroke and explore the concept of antiplatelet therapy resistance both from a laboratory and clinical perspective and genetic polymorphisms that might influence platelet reactivity with clopidogrel administration. Debates have raged over the years about the application of platelet function tests in clinical practice. We conclude that platelet function testing is not indicated in routine clinical practice. This recommendation is supported by clinical guideline statements, a lack of a global platelet func...

Better outcomes for hospitalized patients with TIA when in stroke units: An observational study
Conclusions: Hospitalized patients with TIA managed in SUs had better survival at 180 days than those treated in alternate wards, potentially through better management, but further research is needed.

Efficacy of Antiplatelet Therapy in Secondary Prevention Following Lacunar Stroke: Pooled Analysis of Randomized Trials Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Our results suggest that any of the single antiplatelet agents compared with placebo in the included trials is adequate for secondary stroke prevention after lacunar stroke. Dual antiplatelet therapy should not be used for long-term stroke prevention in this stroke subtype.

Prestroke antiplatelet agents in first-ever ischemic stroke: Clinical effects
Conclusions: PA use was associated with decreased first-ever stroke severity, suggesting that it has a beneficial effect. Classification of evidence: This study provides Class II evidence that prestroke use of antiplatelet agents reduces stroke severity in patients with first-ever acute ischemic stroke.

Outcomes for people with atrial fibrillation in an Australian national audit of stroke care
ConclusionsHospital processes of care can influence outcomes in stroke patients with atrial fibrillation. The greater in‐hospital mortality experienced by stroke patients with atrial fibrillation may be attenuated by admission to a stroke unit, and for ischemic stroke, early administration of aspirin.
