Role of the Stroke Unit in Reducing the Medical and Neurological Complications Post Stroke in Patient Admitted at Royal Hospital from 2009-2015 (P2.318)
CONCLUSIONS: Medical complications that follow acute stroke not only influence mortality but may influence functional outcome. Stroke patients who receive organized inpatient care in a stroke unit are less likely to be developing medical complications post strokeDisclosure: Dr. Al-Hashmi has nothing to disclose.

Assessment Model to Identify Patients With Stroke With a High Possibility of Discharge to Home Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—We have developed an assessment model for identifying patients with a high possibility of being discharged to their homes after an acute stroke. This model would be useful for health professionals to adequately plan patients’ discharge soon after their admission.

Associations Between Adherence to Evidence-Based, Stroke Quality Indicators and Outcomes of Acute Reperfusion Therapy
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated national marked and sustainable improvement in adherence to door-to-needle time, door-to-puncture time, and successful reperfusion from 2013 to 2017 in Japan in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Adhering to the key QIs substantially affected in-hospital outcomes, underlining the importance of monitoring the quality of care using evidence-based QIs and the nationwide Close The Gap-Stroke program.PMID:35971841 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.038483

Impact of Neurologist In-Hospital 24/7 on stroke patients arriving to the Emergency Department activated as a Code Stroke (S8.003)
Conclusions:In-hospital 24/7 coverage for acute stroke treatment reduces door to alteplase treatment times significantly. For each minute reduction in a neurologist at the bedside for CS, a 2 minute and 18 second improvement in door to alteplase treatment time occurs. An associated reduction in mortality is also demonstrated. A limitation of this study includes a smaller number of post-implementation data. These data will need on-going monitoring to ensure enduring impact.Disclosure: Dr. Schneider has nothing to disclose.

Medical therapy does not confer stroke prevention for all patients; identification of high-risk patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis is still needed.
CONCLUSIONS: Prophylactic CR + BMT does not provide overall late stroke prevention compared with BMT alone. Diabetics with a history of stroke, in particular, are at an increased risk of stroke despite BMT. Timely CR + BMT for high-risk patients is still indicated.

Call Characteristics of Patients Suspected of Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or Stroke During Out-of-Hours Service: A Comparison Between Men and Women
Conclusion: Overall, patient and call characteristics are mostly comparable between men and women, and these only modestly assist in identifying TIA/stroke. There were no gender differences in allocated urgencies after telephone triage in patients with TIA/stroke.

Intraoperative Ischemic Stroke in Elective Spine Surgery: A Retrospective Study of Incidence and Risk
Conclusion. . With the increase of spinal procedures, it is important to identify patients at risk for having an ischemic stroke and to optimize their comorbidities preoperatively. Patients with intraoperative ischemic stroke carry a higher risk for morbidity and mortality during the index hospitalization. Level of Evidence: 4
