Differences in In‐Hospital and Post‐Discharge Ischemic Stroke Care According to Prestroke Functional Status

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundLimited data exist regarding differences in ischemic stroke care across the care continuum between patients with and without prestroke disability. ResultsOf 2476 ischemic stroke patients, 1326 (53%) had prestroke disability. ResultsOf 2476 ischemic stroke patients, 1326 (53%) had prestroke disability.

Effect of Time Delay on Reperfusion After Tenecteplase in an Extended Time Window: Analysis From the CHABLIS‐T Trials

Journal of the American Heart Association

This study aimed to investigate whether time delay was associated with reduced odds of reperfusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with tenecteplase in the 4.5‐ Similarly, prolonged onset‐to‐thrombolysis time was associated with decreased probability of reperfusion (continuous variable: OR, 0.98

Case Report: Fatal atrioesophageal fistula following atrial fibrillation ablation—critical reflections on prevention

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

This case report describes a unique instance of a patient developing AEF following AF ablation, accompanied by ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Ultimately resulting in family-elected discharge against medical advice on the fourth day of hospitalization.

The association between the systemic immune-inflammation index and in-hospital mortality among acute ischemic stroke with atrial fibrillation patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

In-hospital mortality was defined as a Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 6 point. Multifactorial logistic regression analyses using fully adjusted models, demonstrated that the SII is independently associated with the risk of in-hospital death. Notably, the combined model outperformed the SII alone (P<0.05).

Abstract TP107: Quantifying Hospital Opportunities to Increase Thrombolysis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP107-ATP107, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Emergency-department-based implementation strategies to increase thrombolysis are promising. The study population was limited to ischemic stroke patients admitted to the hospital. Among 1608 hospitals, 1131 (70%) had tPA rates below 10%.

Findings from MOST Trial Presented at ISC24: Blood thinners added to clot-busting medication did not improve stroke outcomes

DAIC

Findings from the highly-anticipated MOST (Multi-Arm Optimization of Stroke Thrombolysis) trial were presented on the first day of the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference, ISC 2024, being held through Feb. A lot of our approaches in stroke treatment were learned from how we treat heart attacks.

Indirect Effects of Operating a Mobile Stroke Treatment Unit

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue 6 , Page 1646-1649, June 1, 2025. Mobile stroke units, also referred to as mobile stroke treatment units, have revolutionized acute stroke care by reducing thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy times, resulting in positive patient outcomes.
