Delayed Carotid Endarterectomy After Admission in Symptomatic Carotid Artery Disease Is Associated With Lower Postoperative Stroke Rates in the Medicare Population
The appropriate timing of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in symptomatic carotid artery disease is still controversial. Despite guideline recommendations to perform CEA within 14 days, recent studies have favored delayed CEA to decrease the risk of postoperative stroke. The goal of this study was to evaluate the timing of CEA for symptomatic disease in the Medicare population and its effects on postoperative stroke rates.

Comparison of Oral Anticoagulant Use and Stroke Risk among Older Adults Newly-Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Living in Urban-vs-Rural Areas
We aimed to assess the association between urban/rural residence and the risk of ischemic stroke in individuals with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF), and to quantify the role of oral anticoagulation (OAC) initiation in the variation in stroke risk between urban and rural residents with AF. Using 5% random samples of Medicare claims, we identified fee-for-service beneficiaries who were diagnosed with AF between January 2014 and December 2015. Beneficiaries were followed for 1 year since their AF diagnosis, and were categorized according to their initiation of OAC within the year.

Association Between 2010 Medicare Reforms and Utilization of Postacute Inpatient Rehabilitation in Ischemic Stroke
Objective
The aim of the study was to investigate whether the elimination of trial admissions and the initiation of documentation requirements, via the 2010 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Prospective Payment System Rule, limited inpatient rehabilitation facility access while increasing skilled nursing facility utilization compared with home discharge in ischemic stroke patients.
Design
This is a retrospective observational study using Get with the Guidelines – Stroke hospital data between January 1, 2008 and December 31, 2015 (N = 1,643,553).

Cost Effectiveness of Percutaneous Closure Versus Medical Therapy for Cryptogenic Stroke in Patients With a Patent Foramen Ovale
In patients with patent foramen ovales (PFOs) and cryptogenic stroke, observational studies have demonstrated reductions in recurrent neurologic events with transcatheter PFO closure compared with medical therapy. Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses have shown a trend toward benefit with device closure. The cost-effectiveness of PFO closure has not been described. Therefore, a detailed cost analysis was performed using pooled weighted outcome and complication rates from published randomized controlled trials, Medicare cost tables, and wholesale medication prices.
