Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A65-A65, February 1, 2025. Stroke-dizziness diagnosed in the ED is typically due to cerebellar or brainstem lesions which might only have subtle signs of central vestibular dysfunction. Stroke after the ED visit is infrequent but could have been missed at the index visit. cm (IQR, 1.1-4.0);

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundAn increased risk of recurrent stroke is noted in patients with atrial fibrillation despite direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use. A total of 84 patients experienced recurrent ischemic stroke after switching to different oral anticoagulants, with a total follow‐up time of 14 years. 0.39] for apixaban, 0.23 [95% CI, 0.14–0.37]

Abstract WMP26: Clinical Characteristic-Driven Machine Learning Models for the Prediction of Stroke Subtypes and Eligibility of Endovascular Thrombectomy

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP26-AWMP26, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Several pre-hospital scales predict ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion; however, these scales often fail to detect atypical endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) cases, including posterior circulation and distal vessel occlusion.
