Those that met their self-care goals needed less PT, OT, and ST minutes.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ANS8-ANS8, February 1, 2025. Background and Purpose:Patients discharged home after a stroke are particularly vulnerable during the immediate post-discharge period. Patients were seen by the outpatient stroke NP within 7 to 14 days, either in clinic or via telemedicine.

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP120-ATP120, February 1, 2025. Introduction:AI-based Stroke Care Coordination Platforms (AI-SCCP) have been shown to improve patient transfer decisions and provide access to the highest quality standards of care for all patients.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP140-AWP140, February 1, 2025. Background:Maximizing long-term home time (HT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients has patient-centered and health-system benefits. All claims within 1 year of hospitalization were collated and grouped into corresponding care pathways.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP45-AWMP45, February 1, 2025. Home time is a valid measure of functional recovery in stroke patients that is often used in outcome studies. Compared to SNF patients, IRF patients were younger, more likely to be male, had minor strokes (NIHSS 1-4), and were able to ambulate at discharge.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP114-AWP114, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Two-thirds of US stroke patients undergo rehabilitation post-discharge with about 20% and 25% receiving care at an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) and skilled nursing facility (SNF), respectively.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP122-AWP122, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Inpatient rehabilitation (IR) for patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) offers improved functional recovery and quality of life. Medicare, 1.17 [1.08-1.26]; Across both IR discharge models, patients who were male (aORs: 1.17 [1.08-1.26];
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP44-AWMP44, February 1, 2025. Background:The post-acute journey for stroke patients is highly variable. Clinical information on a matched sub-population was linked from the EMR of a 7-hospital certified stroke health system. high HT: 300 days) in both the statewide (16.2%
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP328-ATP328, February 1, 2025. We longitudinally followed the patients by linking the registry data to the Center for Medicare&Medicaid Service (CMS) claims data. Objective:The role of statins in the management of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains controversial.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP205-ATP205, February 1, 2025. Conclusions:In a nationally representative cohort of Medicare beneficiaries, AD was associated with an increased risk of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage. The exposure variable was AD, defined byICD-9-CMcode 331.0 andICD-10-CMcode G30.x.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP121-ATP121, February 1, 2025. The effect that vertical integration has on emergency stroke care is unclear. In 2016, 29% of VI stroke transfer network dyads had 1 transfer with EVT compared to only 17% of non-VI dyads. There was no substantial change in 2017 or 2018.Conclusion:From
Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 18, Issue 1 , Page e014592, January 1, 2025. There was no difference between treatment arms for the primary end point of death or disabling stroke using trial data (hazard ratio, 0.83 [95% CI, 0.411.68]) or claims data (hazard ratio, 0.89 [95% CI, 0.431.81]; interactionP=0.71).CONCLUSIONS:Claims-based
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP51-AWP51, February 1, 2025. The exposure was an incident diagnosis of non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, defined as a composite of intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, or subdural hemorrhage. The outcome was an incident diagnosis of dementia.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATMP37-ATMP37, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Limited studies have examined racial disparities in long-term survival after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with inconsistent findings. Stroke mortality risk was ~25% higher for White and Black compared to Hispanic and Other (aHR 1.25 (1.24-1.26)).
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP152-AWP152, February 1, 2025.

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP295-AWP295, February 1, 2025. Background:Structural inequity, including structural racism, is increasingly linked to stroke measures. Prior work has shown that ecosocial models quantifying constituent domains of structural racism correlate with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) incidence.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP58-AWMP58, February 1, 2025. Introduction:The management of acute ischemic stroke over the last three decades has seen an expansive progression in terms of medical and surgical interventions. 4.42, p<0.02). 3.06, p<0.04). 3.82, p<0.01).
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP327-ATP327, February 1, 2025. Self-reported stroke prevalence has increased among US adults aged 18-64 over the past decade and is projected to rise. Adults aged <65 years may face more challenges accessing healthcare compared to older adults, who have access to Medicare.
Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP235-AWP235, February 1, 2025. Disparities in outcomes of patients with ischemic stroke have been associated with insurance coverage.
