Moyamoya Disease in Children: Results of the International Pediatric Stroke Study (S55.001)
Conclusions: The definition of MMD is variable, and may influence reported outcomes. The presence of additional stroke risk factors in over half of patients implies a multifactorial etiology. Our data suggest that vascular occlusion contributes to recurrence, and may be an important predictor in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Lee has nothing to disclose.

Recurrent stroke predictors differ in medically treated patients with pathogenic vs other PFOs
Conclusion: Predictors of recurrence differ when PFO relatedness is classified by the RoPE score, suggesting that patients with CS and PFO form a heterogeneous group with different stroke mechanisms. Echocardiographic features were only associated with recurrence in the high RoPE score group.

A common cold is no stroke of luck: Risk for cerebral ischemia in children
Chronic and acute (minor) infections or inflammatory conditions are associated with an increased risk for cerebral ischemic stroke in adults.1–3 Stroke etiology is different in children, is probably multifactorial, and may be elusive. Minor infections are common in children and lead to similar systemic and especially prothrombotic changes as in adults. Because conventional vascular risk factors are less prevalent in children, inflammatory conditions may be more relevant contributors to stroke risk in children. However, data on the association of inflammation and pediatric stroke are scarce. In this issue of Neurology...

Agreement between TOAST and CCS ischemic stroke classification: The NINDS SiGN Study
Conclusion: Agreement between TOAST and CCS diagnoses was moderate. Caution is warranted when comparing or combining results based on the 2 systems. Replication of study results, for example, genome-wide association studies, should utilize phenotypes determined by the same classification system, ideally applied in the same manner.

Preadmission use of nonaspirin nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and 30-day stroke mortality
Conclusions: Preadmission use of COX-2 inhibitors was associated with increased 30-day mortality after ischemic stroke, but not hemorrhagic stroke. Use of nonselective NSAIDs at time of admission was not associated with mortality from ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage.

Sleep duration and risk of fatal and nonfatal stroke: A prospective study and meta-analysis
Conclusions: This prospective study and meta-analysis identified prolonged sleep as a potentially useful marker of increased future stroke risk in an apparently healthy aging population.

Balancing access and quality in comprehensive stroke care
The establishment of stroke units and stroke centers has transformed the inpatient care of cerebrovascular disease and resulted in improved outcomes for patients hospitalized with stroke. Studies show that organized care as part of a stroke unit results in reduced mortality and disability after stroke,1 and that patients hospitalized at primary stroke centers have lower mortality and are more likely to receive thrombolytic therapy.2

Optimization modeling to maximize population access to comprehensive stroke centers
Conclusion: Optimal system simulation can be used to develop efficient care systems that maximize accessibility. Under optimal conditions, a large proportion of the US population will be unable to access a CSC within 60 minutes.

Ischemic Stroke as the Presenting Symptom in a Young Patient with Essential Thrombocythemia Caused by CALR Gene Mutation (P2.253)
CONCLUSIONS: Ischemic stroke is a rare complication of essential thrombocythemia and this case is unusual because of multiple strokes in a very young patient as the presenting symptom. Fortunately, the condition was recognized and successfully treated with aspirin and hydroxyurea. She was not left with any residual neurological deficits. This case demonstrates another unusual and rarely reported cause for stroke in a young patient.Disclosure: Dr. Anderson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Bonsell has nothing to disclose.

Does Emergency department length of stay affect the 90-day functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke? (P3.073)
Conclusion: In our cohort, there was no association between the ED-LOS and 90-day functional outcome. Further study is ongoing to assess whether ED-LOS adversely affects outcome measures not captured by the mRS.Disclosure: Dr. Patel has nothing to disclose. Dr. Minaeian has nothing to disclose.

Elevated VLDL is associated with cardioembolic stroke and improved functional outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke (P3.074)
CONCLUSIONS: The relationship between cardioembolic stroke and poor short-term outcomes likely underlies the association between vLDL and outcomes in our population. Further research is warranted to investigate the impact of vLDL in stroke etiology and patient outcomes.Disclosure: Dr. George has nothing to disclose. Dr. Monlezun, Jr has nothing to disclose.

CT Angiogram Helps to Predict Ischemic Stroke in Dizzy Patients, but NOT Better than the Clinical Examination (P3.084)
Conclusions: In patients with subjective dizziness, stroke risk factors and focal exam findings predict acute ischemic stroke. Calcification on CTA is also predictive, but does not significantly improve sensitivity.Disclosure: Dr. Chen has nothing to disclose. Dr. Schneider has nothing to disclose.

Strategies for Optimizing Acute Ischemic Stroke Care by Reducing Door to Needle Time in a Major Academic Center (P4.280)
Conclusion: Through the identification and analysis of key metrics in the acute stroke pathway by the neurology team, DTN times were significantly improved within a brief period of time. As the benefits of IV tPA are time dependent, it is critical that hospitals work to optimize acute stroke protocols. By implementing the innovative changes of the neurology house staff, institutions nationwide can achieve similar rapid gains in DTN times and provide effective treatment to a greater percentage of patients with acute ischemic stroke.Disclosure: Dr. Abraham has nothing to disclose.

Routine troponin measurements are unnecessary in acute ischemic stroke evaluations (P4.285)
CONCLUSIONS: Troponin elevation in patients with ischemic stroke is not caused by acute myocardial ischemia unless iatrogenic in the setting of vasopressor administration. Serum troponins should be measured based on clinical context rather than routinely in all acute ischemic stroke patients.Disclosure: Dr. Ali has nothing to disclose.
