Oral anticoagulant timing and hospitalization in newly diagnosed nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundNon-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) significantly increases ischemic stroke and systemic embolism (SE) risks. Despite the proven efficacy of oral anticoagulants (OAC) in reducing these risks, their underutilization highlights a gap in clinical practice. for stroke/SE-specific, p-value<0.001).

Association of Assisted Reproductive Technology and Stroke During Hospitalization for Delivery in the United States

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Endothelial damage, prothrombotic factor release, and a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in those receiving ART have been invoked to explain this association. Individual stroke subtypes (IS, SAH, ICH, and CVT) were evaluated as secondary endpoints. 100,000 vs. 9.1/100,000),

Abstract TP254: The Incidence Rate and Risk Factors of In-Hospital Onset Stroke Among 83,990 Hospitalized Patients

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP254-ATP254, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Clinical characteristics of patients with in-hospital onset stroke (IHOS) compared to those with out-of-hospital onset stroke are reported to be late detection of stroke onset, less use of rt-PA, presence of atrial fibrillation, and poor outcome.

A Bayesian network-based approach for identifying risk factors and predicting ischemic stroke in infective endocarditis patients

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Objective This study aimed to seek the risk factors and develop a predictive model for ischemic stroke (IS) in patients with infective endocarditis (IE) utilizing a Bayesian network (BN) approach. Two predictive models, logistic regression and BN, were used.

Abstract TP146: Disparities in risk factors between Black and White adults aged 18-64 years hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke, United States 2016-2020

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP146-ATP146, February 1, 2025. Introduction:Differences in risk factors may contribute to disparities in stroke risk. Results:The prevalence of hypertension and diabetes were higher among NHBA than NHWA hospitalized with AIS across all age groups.

Hospital?Level Variability in Reporting of Ischemic Stroke Subtypes and Supporting Diagnostic Evaluation in GWTG?Stroke Registry

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundSecondary prevention of ischemic stroke (IS) requires adequate diagnostic evaluation to identify the likely etiologic subtype. We compared the documentation rates and presence of risk factors, diagnostic testing, achievement/quality measures, and outcomes between patients with and without reported IS subtype.

Abstract 96: Temporal Trends in Vascular Risk Factor Burden Among Young Adults With Ischemic Stroke: The Florida Stroke Registry

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A96-A96, February 1, 2024. Introduction:While ischemic stroke (IS) in the young (18-55) is thought to have different etiologies than in older patients, a rise in vascular risk factors (VRFs) among young adults may translate to an IS risk profile similar to the older population.
