Abstract 269: Does Functional Recovery After Stroke Vary by Hospital Type? Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusions: A third of acute ischemic stroke patients had moderate-severe disability three months after hospital discharge and these rates varied considerably among U.S. hospitals. Receiving stroke care at a teaching or primary stroke center hospital was associated with significantly better post discharge functional status.

Accuracy of ICD-9-CM Codes by Hospital Characteristics and Stroke Severity: Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Program Health Services and Outcomes Research
Conclusions We identified disagreements in stroke/TIA coding by hospital characteristics and stroke severity, particularly for milder ischemic strokes. Such systematic variations in ICD-9-CM coding practices can affect stroke case identification in epidemiological studies and may have implications for hospital-level quality metrics.

Abstract 116: Relationship of Stroke Unit Status With Quality of Care and Outcome for Acute Stroke Patients: Results From China National Stroke Registry II Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusions: Our study showed that processes of care of AIS were better in patients in hospitals with stroke units. However, patients in hospitals with stroke units didn’t performance differences in clinical outcomes after discharge.

Incidence, Management and Short-Term Outcome of Stroke in a General Population of 1.4 Million Japanese 　- Shiga Stroke Registry.
CONCLUSIONS: Incidence rates of stroke by subtypes were clarified and the total number of new strokes in Japan was estimated. More than half of stroke patients die or become dependent after a stroke. This study re-emphasized the importance of public health measures in reducing the burden of stroke in Japan. PMID: 28579600 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abstract P119: Hypertension Trends in Florida Stroke Patients. The Florida Puerto Rico Collaboration to Reduce Stroke Disparities Session Title: Onsite Poster Competition I With Reception
Conclusions: In our large Stroke Registry we observed higher prevalence of HTN in women, blacks and AIS. We also observe a decreasing trend over the past 7 years, especially among women and minorities (blacks and Hispanics). These findings provide an opportunity to design and implement interventions to reduce disparities in HTN and improve stroke outcome.

Pravastatin Reduces the Risk of Atherothrombotic Stroke when Administered within Six Months of an Initial Stroke Event.
CONCLUSIONS: Pravastatin is likely to reduce atherothrombotic stroke in patients enrolled within 6 months after stroke onset. However, the clinical efficacy for prevention of recurrent stroke was not conclusive with earlier statin treatment. PMID: 28924103 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Abstract 109: Neurologists versus Hospitalists: The Effect of Physician Specialty on Stroke Care and Outcomes After Ischemic Stroke and TIA Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusions: There is no evidence that patients received dissimilar stroke related care or experienced different outcomes regardless of the physician specialty serving as the primary service. However, stroke patients with hospitalists as their primary team had shorter hospital stay. This difference may be due to hospitalists’ expertise in managing patients with multiple co-morbidities, including stroke patients with underlying diabetes, atrial fibrillation, and hypertension. Based on these findings, utilizing neurology as a consult service for stroke related care will not affect provision of stroke care or patient outcomes.

Abstract 145: Illinois Acute Stroke Ready Hospital Designation is Associated With Improved Door-to-Needle Best Practices Session Title: Poster Session AM
Conclusions: Since Illinois introduced ASRH designation in 2009, a steady improvement in meeting acute stroke benchmarks has been observed for hospitals providing care at the entry point of care. Statewide stroke legislation should be considered as a strategy for supporting system-wide implementation of acute stroke best practices.

Abstract 205: Stroke Risk and Symptom Recognition Post Cardiac Catheterization Session Title: Poster Session PM
Over 1.4 million cardiac catheterization procedures (CCPs) take place yearly. CPP related stroke incidence in 1973 was reported as 0.23%. CCPs are invasive in nature with complications occurring due to unintentional trauma to preexisting atherosclerotic aortic plaques or thrombus formation at catheter/guidewire tips. Less common causes of ischemic stroke are air, left ventricular clot, hypotension, arterial dissection, fractured guidewire. Transient neurological deficits have been reported following high-osmolar contrast injection into carotid/vertebral arteries. With improved practice, current stroke incidence is 0.06%. P...

The associations of lipids and lipid ratios with stroke: A prospective cohort study
In conclusion, TC/HDL‐C ratio may better predict stroke risk in men, whereas TG was more valuable in predicting stroke risk in women. TC/HDL‐C and TG may help to discriminate high stroke risk individuals and serve as potential targets for stroke prevention.

Cryptogenic Stroke: Diagnostic Workup and Management
AbstractPurpose of reviewCryptogenic stroke describes a subset of ischemic stroke for which no cause can be found despite a structured investigation. There are a number of putative mechanisms of cryptogenic ischemic stroke including a covert structural cardiac lesion, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, hypercoagulable state or undiagnosed malignancy. Because many of these proposed mechanisms are embolic – and based on studies of thrombus history showing commonalities between thrombus composition between cardioembolic and cryptogenic strokes – the concept of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) (Hart et al. Lancet ...

Japanese and Non-Japanese Patients with Transient Ischemic Attack or Minor Stroke: A Five-Year Risk Analysis of Stroke and Vascular Events.
CONCLUSIONS: Recurrent stroke and intracranial hemorrhage were determined to be more prevalent at 5 years after TIA or minor stroke in Japanese patients than in non-Japanese patients. Strategies to mitigate the long-term risks of stroke, aside from adherence to current guidelines, should take Japanese-patient-specific residual risks into account.

Urinary Sodium and Potassium, and Risk of Ischaemic and Haemorrhagic Stroke (INTERSTROKE): a case-control study.
CONCLUSION: The association of sodium intake and stroke is J-shaped, with high sodium intake a stronger risk factor for intracerebral haemorrhage than ischemic stroke. Our data suggest that moderate sodium intake - rather than low sodium intake - combined with high potassium intake may be associated with the lowest risk of stroke and expected to be a more feasible combined dietary target.
