Abstract 195: Changing Trends of Thrombolysis and Thrombectomy for Low Severity Stroke: National Inpatient Sample Analysis (2016?2020)

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionOver the past decade, stroke management has significantly improved with the widespread use of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and the establishment of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) as the standard of care for increasing patients.

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%.

Anterior Circulation Thrombectomy in Patients With Low National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Score: Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUNDPrior studies have shown benefit for endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with large‐vessel occlusion and severe deficits, as captured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The primary outcome was routine discharge (home or self‐care).

Abstract WP257: Prevalence of Co-Morbid Ischemic Stroke and Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Characteristics of Patients: Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP257-AWP257, February 1, 2024. Background:Antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS) is an acquired thrombophilia that is a known cause of ischemic stroke (IS). The NIHSS findings suggested that stroke severity alone does not account for the observed differences in outcome.

Abstract WP3: Serum Glucose Fluctuations is an Independent Predictor of Adverse Outcomes in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Endovascular Treatment

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP3-AWP3, February 1, 2024. Outcomes included sICH, and inpatient mortality, adjusted for confounders which included age, gender, baseline NIHSS, perfusion grade (TICI) intravenous thrombolysis, history of diabetes and HBA1c.Results:A total of 224 patients (mean age was 68.7

Abstract WP199: Outcomes Following Posterior Cerebral Artery Thrombolysis vs Medical Management in those with Atrial Fibrillation

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWP199-AWP199, February 1, 2024. Background:The benefits of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion remain controversial, but intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) has proven benefit across nearly all ischemic stroke types.
