Outcomes of Thrombolytic Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in Dialysis Dependant Patients in the United States (S02.003)
CONCLUSIONS: The three fold higher odds of in-hospital mortality associated with administration of IV thrombolytics in dialysis dependant patients who present with acute ischemic stroke warrants a careful assessment of risk benefit ratio in this population.Disclosure: Dr. Adil has nothing to disclose.

Atrial fibrillation and risk of stroke in dialysis patients
Abstract: Purpose: Both stroke and chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) are common in dialysis patients, but uncertainty exists in the incidence of new strokes and the risk conferred by chronic AF.Methods: A cohort of dually eligible (Medicare and Medicaid) incident dialysis patients was constructed. Medicare claims were used to determine the onset of chronic AF, which was specifically treated as a time-dependent covariate. Cox proportional hazards models were used to model time to stroke.Results: Of 56,734 patients studied, 5629 (9.9%) developed chronic AF. There were 22.8 ischemic and 5.0 hemorrhagic strokes per 1000 patient...
