E-191 Influence of socioeconomic factors on the development of post-stroke depression in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage survivors
ConclusionThe overall risk of developing a new depression disorder after aSAH was 16% in this retrospective study. The female sex was close to 4 times and substance use were six and half time more likely to develop new depressive symptoms; therefore, these risk factors should be considered when screening patients for depression after aSAH.Disclosures D.

African American Wives and Perceived Stressful Experiences: Providing Care for Stroke Survivor Spouses.
Authors: Smith-Johnson B, Davis BL, Burns D, Montgomery AJ, McGee ZT Abstract This research used a quantitative design to explore perceived stress experiences of African American wives in the care of spouses who are stroke survivors. The wives as caregivers (44.7%) were participants from rural communities in the southeastern region of North Carolina. These wives, although many had employment outside of the home, provided duties including activities of daily living (ADL) and all other domestic tasks. They were forced into the caregiving role, although many were often not prepared, and experienced much stress related...

Low Hemoglobin Increases Risk for Stroke, Kidney Disease, Elevated Estimated Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure, and Premature Death in Sickle Cell Disease: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: In conclusion, comprehensive evaluation of peer-reviewed literature published over the past 20 years demonstrates a significant relationship between chronic anemia and worse clinical outcomes in individuals with SCD. Meta-analyses further demonstrate that even relatively modest differences in hemoglobin are important and support hemoglobin increase by ≥1 g/dL as a relevant therapeutic target. These results suggest that interventions that reduce hemolytic anemia may confer clinical benefit in this patient population.DisclosuresAtaga: Novartis: Consultancy, Honoraria; Bioverativ: Honoraria, Membership on an e...

Incidence risks for cerebrovascular diseases and types of stroke in a cohort of Mayak PA workers
Radiat Environ Biophys. 2022 Feb 19. doi: 10.1007/s00411-022-00966-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIncidence risks for cerebrovascular diseases (CeVD) and some types of stroke in a cohort of 22,377 Russian Mayak nuclear workers chronically exposed to ionising radiation and followed up until the end of 2018 are reported. Among total 9469 cases of CeVD, 2078 cases were strokes that included 262 hemorrhagic strokes (HS) and 1611 ischemic strokes (IS). Data evaluation was performed with categorical and dose-response analyses estimating the relative risk (RR) and excess relative risk (ERR) per unit cumulative liver absorbed do...

Employment of Higher Doses of Botulinum Toxin Type A to Reduce Spasticity After Stroke
Spasticity is a common disabling symptom for several neurological conditions. Botulinum toxin type A injection represents the gold standard treatment for focal spasticity with efficacy, reversibility, and low prevalence of complications. Current guidelines suggest a dose up to 600 units (U) of onabotulinumtoxinA/incobotulinumtoxinA or up to 1500 U of abobotulinumtoxinA to treat post-stroke spasticity to avoid important adverse effects. However, recently, higher doses of botulinum toxin type A were employed, especially in case of upper and lower limb severe spasticity.

Comparison of Risk of Atrial Fibrillation among Employed Versus Unemployed (From the REasons for Geographic and Racial Differences in Stroke Study)
Involuntary unemployment due to job loss has been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. Whether it also is associated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) is currently unknown. Therefore, we examined this association in 8,812 participants residing mainly in the Southeastern United States (mean age 58.1 ± 7.8 years; 63.2%; women; 43.2% black) with data on employment status who were enrolled in the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study between 2003 and 2007 after excluding those with voluntary unemployment (e.g.
