Abstract TMP100: Acute Ischemic Stroke in Young Adults: A Comparative Analysis of Outcomes and Mortality in Metabolically Healthy Obese vs. Normal Weight Individuals, 2016-2019 Cohort

Stroke Journal

Introduction:Rising obesity rates and the increasing prevalence of stroke in the metabolically healthy obese (MHO) necessitate examining its association in younger (18-44 year) populations. Methods:Data from the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2019) was analyzed to identify young MHO and MH-NW AIS patients using ICD-10 codes.

Abstract TP262: Trends, Odds, Burdens and Outcomes of Metabolically Healthy Obesity in Stroke Related Hospitalizations of Elderly Patients - A Nationwide Analysis, 2016-2019

Stroke Journal

Meanwhile, Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) trends are understudied in association with stroke. Patients were categorized into a metabolically healthy obese MHO+ve cohort, BMI> 30, and MHO-ve cohort, BMI<30. Background:Obesity has been associated with an increase in the risk of stroke and poor outcomes.

Abstract WP235: Cannabis Use Disorder in Elderly Stroke Survivors (?65 Years) Elevates the Risk of Stroke Recurrence: An Analysis From the National Inpatient Sample (2016-2019)

Stroke Journal

Comorbidities like diabetes, hyperlipidemia, obesity, and hypothyroidism were less common in CUD patients, but substance abuse and mental health disorders were more prevalent. From 2016 to 2019, CUD among stroke survivors rose from 0.24% to 0.37%. vs. 45.1%), with a larger representation of black individuals (30.8% vs. 28.4%).
