Dual Antiplatelet Treatment

Background: The factors associated with clopidogrel resistance in patients with stroke recurrence receiving single or dual antiplatelet treatment (SAPT or DAPT) may differ. This study compared the high on-treatment platelet reactivities (HPRs) and the factors associated with clopidogrel resistance in recurrent ischemic stroke patients receiving clopidogrel or aspirin and clopidogrel.Methods: We enrolled and allocated 275 recurrent ischemic stroke patients to the clopidogrel and DAPT groups and compared their demographics, conventional risk factors, and P2Y12 reaction units (PRUs). Clopidogrel resistance was categorized as PRU higher than 275. We performed a multivariate logistic regression analysis to determine the factors underlying clopidogrel resistance during SAPT and DAPT.Results: In total, 145 (52.7%) and 130 (47.3%) patients received clopidogrel and DAPT, respectively at recurrence. The risk factors of the two groups were not significantly different, except that coronary artery disease was more frequent in the DAPT group. The PRU was higher (255 ± 91 vs. 221 ± 84; p = 0.002) and clopidogrel resistance was more frequent (45.5 vs. 31.5%; p = 0.018) in the SAPT than in the DAPT group. Hyperlipidemia was associated with clopidogrel resistance during SAPT, and smoking (Odds ratio = 0.426, 95% confidence interval 0.210–0.861; p = 0.018) had a protective effect against clopidogrel resistance. For those receiving DAPT, old age, female, low hemoglobin A1c level, and high ARU were associated with clopidogrel resistance.Conclusions: HPR and clopidogrel resistance were more frequent in recurrent ischemic stroke patients receiving clopidogrel than in those receiving DAPT. Smoking was independently associated with less clopidogrel resistance among those receiving clopidogrel SAPT but not in those receiving DAPT.

Antidepressant Use

Background: Post-stroke depression is common, yet little is known about factors associated with antidepressant use in this population Methods: Data from the multicenter, prospective Adherence eValuation After Ischemic stroke-Longitudinal (AVAIL) registry was used to identify patients with post-stroke depression and to describe factors associated with antidepressant use. The analysis was performed after 3 months in 1751 ischemic stroke patients who had been admitted to 97 hospitals nationwide; 12 month follow-up was available for 1637 patients. The Get with the Guidelines-Stroke database was used to collect baseline data. Patients were classified as depressed based on a self-report scale (the Patient Health Questionnaire-8; score range 0 to 24, score ≥10 indicating depression). Frequencies were compared with Pearson X 2 and unadjusted ORs were calculated. Results: The prevalence of post stroke depression was similar at 3 and 12 months (19% [331/1751] vs 17% [280/1637], respectively, p=0.17). Regardless of depression status, antidepressant use was higher at 12 months (16% [287/1751] vs 20% [334/1637], p=0.002). Antidepressant use was also higher at 12 months in depressed patients (25% [84/331] vs 35% [98/280], p=0.009). The odds of antidepressant use at 3 months was higher in women than men (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.1), Whites vs. Blacks (OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.8), in patients with vs. without cognitive deficits (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.2-2.1) and in those with more severe disabilities (mRS≥3 vs. mRS<3, OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.3-2.3). Use did not vary with educational level, marital status, living situation, medication insurance coverage, or stroke recurrence. Similar trends were present at 12 months, except with higher use in those with recurrent stroke or TIA (OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.4-3.1). Conclusion: Three-quarters of depressed stroke patients at 3-months and nearly two-thirds at 12 months were not receiving antidepressants. Regardless of depression status, utilization of antidepressants after 3 and 12 months varied based on gender, race/ethnicity, cognitive status, disability level, and after 12-months, stroke recurrence. The reasons for the apparent underuse of antidepressants in patients with prevalent post-stroke depression require further study.

Abstract Background HIV-associated non-AIDS (HANA) conditions are becoming common as People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (PLWHIV) age. However, data estimating the prevalence of HANA conditions and associated risk factors is lacking in developing countries. This study evaluates reasons for hospitalizations among PLWHIV in Udupi, India in the antiretroviral era, and describes associated risk factors. Methods Demographic and clinical data were extracted from medical charts of 1280 HIV-infected patients 18 years and older who were admitted to Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, India between January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017, for a total of 2157 hospitalizations. Primary reasons for hospitalization were categorized into AIDS-defining vs Non-AIDS-defining and HANA vs Non-HANA conditions (Fig 1). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate demographic and clinical factors associated with hospitalizations due to AIDS-defining illness and HANA conditions. Categorization of Reasons for Hospitalization Results Patients’ median age was 45 (18-80) years; 70% male. Median age of patients with AIDS-defining illness (45% of hospitalizations) was lower at 44 (18-75) years compared with HANA (15% of hospitalizations) at 48 (21-80) years. Age (OR, 95% CI) (0.985, 0.974-0.995), admission CD4 (0.998, 0.997 - 0.998), history of hypertension (HTN) (0.59, 0.42-0.82), stroke (0.49, 0.24 - 0.93), diabetes (1.56, 1.10 - 2.19), and AIDS-defining cancers (1.74, 1.05 - 2.89) were associated with AIDS-defining hospitalizations (Fig 2). Additionally, age (1.016, 1.001 - 1.031), history of HTN (1.70, 1.16 - 2.46), coronary artery disease (CAD) (4.02, 1.87- 9.02), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (2.30, 1.15 - 4.61), stroke (2.93, 1.46 - 5.96), Hepatitis B (3.32, 1.66- 6.72), Hepatitis C (16.1, 2.84 - 314), sexually transmitted disease (STD) (3.76, 1.38- 10.8), and HANA-associated cancer (2.44, 1.28- 6.42) were associated with HANA hospitalizations (Fig 3). Patient Risk Factors for AIDS-related Hospitalization Patient Risk Factors for HANA-related Hospitalization Conclusion Prevalence of HANA conditions was lower than AIDS-defining illnesses possibly because of a younger population. Patients with AIDS-defining illnesses were also likely to have HANA conditions. Early detection and effective treatment of both HIV and HANA conditions is essential to decrease hospitalizations in low-resource settings. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Abstract Background: The incidences of stroke recurrence, disability, and all-cause death of patients with minor ischemic stroke (MIS) remain problematic. The aim of the present was to identify risk factors associated with adverse outcomes at 1-year after MIS in the Xi’an region of China. Methods: The cohort of this prospective cohort study included MIS patients aged 18–97 years with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of ≤ 3 who were treated in any of four hospitals in Xi’an region of China between January and December 2015. The 1-year percentage of stroke recurrence, disability, and all-cause death were evaluated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between the identified risk factors and clinical outcomes. Results: Among the 1,121 patients included for analysis, the percentage of stroke recurrence, disability, and all-cause death at 1 year after MIS were 3.4% (38/1121), 9.3% (104/1121), and 3.3% (37/1121), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, current smoking, and pneumonia as independent risk factors for stroke recurrence. Age, pneumonia, and alkaline phosphatase were independent risk factors for all-cause death. Independent risk factors for disability were age, pneumonia, NIHSS score on admission, and leukocyte count. Conclusions: The 1-year outcomes of MIS is not optimistic in the Xi’an region of China, especially high percentage of disability. In this study, we found the risk factors affecting 1-year stroke recurrence, disability and, all-cause death which need further verification in the subsequent studies.

Introduction: TCD emboli monitoring (TCDe) is a non-invasive tool used to detect the presence of ongoing microembolic signals (MES) in the intracranial arterial vessels. The clinical utility of this test in the evaluation of acute stroke patients has been debated. Our goal was to evaluate clinical factors associated with MES in ischemic stroke patients who underwent TCDe to determine which patient population may benefit from TCDe. Methods: Retrospective cohort study of adult patients admitted to our tertiary care center for TIA or ischemic stroke from 2011 to 2012 who underwent TCDe. Monitoring was performed for 20 minutes using a standardized protocol. Inclusion criteria included insonatation of both middle cerebral arteries and completion of TCD bubble study (TCB). Repeat TCDe performed on the same patient were excluded from the analysis. Demographic, clinical and objective data were collected using our EMR system. Results: Of the 113 patients included in the final analysis, mean age was 57.9 years and 46.9% were female. MES occurred in 33.6% patients. Mean # of MES was 9.3 (SD 60.6). Patients with MES were significantly younger (51.8 years vs 61.0, p.006) and had fewer vascular risk factors: diabetes (10.5% vs 33.3%, p 0.006), hyperlipidemia (23.7% vs 49.3%, p 0.007), hypertension (47.4% vs 17.33%, p 0.067), atrial fibrillation (7.9% vs 17.33 %, p 0.16), congestive heart failure (5.3% vs 10.7%, p 0.32) and coronary artery disease (18.4 % vs 29.3%, p 0.2). Cryptogenic stroke and the presence of right to left shunt (RLS) was more frequent in patients with MES than those without. Mean WBC count and usCRP were both nonsignificantly higher in patients with MES. Conclusions: Clinical characteristics of patients with MES on TCDe differed from those without MES, which may have diagnostic and clinical implications. Patients with MES were younger and had fewer stroke risk factors. MES were seen more often in patients with RLS and in those with cryptogenic stroke, which raises the possibility of an association between these two factors. Interestingly, patients with MES also had higher usCRP and WBC values, suggesting a possible inflammatory component to the occurrence of MES. More research is needed with a larger sample size to better define the significance of the above findings.

Introduction: Regional disparities exist in stroke incidence and stroke related mortality in the United States. We aimed to elucidate the stroke risk factor prevalence trends based on urban versus rural location. Methods: From the National Inpatient Sample database the comorbid stroke risk factors were collected among hospitalized ischemic stroke patients during 2000-2016. Crude and age-and sex-standardized prevalence estimates were calculated for each risk factor during the time periods 2000-2008 and 2009-2016. We compared risk factor prevalence over the defined time periods using regression models, and differences in risk factor trends based on patient location categorized as urban (metropolitan with population of ≥ 1 million) and rural (neither micropolitan or metropolitan) using interaction terms in the regression models. Results: Stroke risk factor prevalence significantly increased from 2000-2008 to 2009-2016. When stratified based on patient location, most risk factors increased in both urban and rural groups. In the crude model, the urban to rural trend difference across 2000-08 and 2009-16 was significant in hypertension (p<0.0001), hyperlipidemia (p=0.0008), diabetes mellitus (p<0.0001), coronary artery disease (p<0.0001), smoking (p<0.0001) and alcohol (p=0.02). With age and sex standardization, the urban to rural trend difference was significant in hypertension (p<0.0001), hyperlipidemia (p=0.0007), coronary artery disease (p=0.01) and smoking (p<0.0001). Conclusion: The prevalence of vascular risk factors among ischemic stroke patients has increased over the last two decades. There exists an urban-rural divide, with rural patients showing larger increases in prevalence of several risk factors compared to urban patients.

Abstract Background: The burden of readmission after stroke is substantial, but little knowledge exists on factors associated with long-term readmission after stroke. In a cohort composing patients with ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA), we examined and compared factors associated with readmission within 1 year and first readmission during year 2-5. Methods: Patients with ischemic stroke or TIA who were discharged alive between July 2007 and October 2012, were followed for five years by review of medical charts. Timing and cause of the first unplanned readmission were registered. Cox regression was used to identify independent risk factors for readmission within 1 year and first readmission during year 2-5 after discharge. Results: The cohort included 1453 patients, of whom 568 (39.1%) were readmitted within 1 year. Of the 830 patients that were alive and without readmission 1 year after discharge, 439 (52.9%) were readmitted within 5 years. Patients readmitted within 1 year were older, had more severe strokes, poorer functional outcome, and a higher occurrence of complications during index admission than patients readmitted during years 2-5. Cardiovascular comorbidity did not differ between the two groups of readmitted patients. Higher age, poorer functional outcome, coronary artery disease and hypertension were independently associated with first readmission within both 1 year and during year 2-5. Peripheral artery disease was independently associated with readmission within 1 year, and atrial fibrillation was associated with first readmission during year 2-5. Conclusions: More than half of all patients who survived the first year after stroke without any readmissions were readmitted within 5 years. Patients readmitted within 1 year and between years 2-5 shared many risk factors for readmission, but they differed in age, functional outcome and occurrence of complications during the index admission.

Objectives: This research is to measure the prevalence rate of antiplatelet resistance in ischemic stroke patients and measure the vascular risk factors associated with antiplatelet resistance in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods and Subjects: This was a cross-sectional study with the number of respondents in this study amounted to 155 patients who all had ischemic stroke disease at Bethesda Hospital in Yogyakarta Indonesia used stroke registry to complete the data of the risk factors. VerifyNow method is used to measure the responsiveness of antiplatelet therapy. Results: Among the 155 patients with ischemic stroke, 45 were women (29%), 110 were men (71%), and the elderly (age more than 60 years old) in 81 patients. In total 155 patients with ischemic stroke, 106 of them have hypertensive, with diabetes are 19 patients, dyslipidemia is 90 patients, and ischemic heart disease in 13 patients. The prevalence of antiplatelet resistance in risk factors, for age more than 60 years, is 21 patients (25%, RR=1.06, *p=0.96), in diabetes is 7 patients (36%, RR=1.17, **p=0.74), dyslipidemia is 19 patients (21%, RR=0.68, ***p=0.24), and ischemic heart disease is four patients (30%). Among 127 patients, 22% (28 patients) had aspirin resistance, while from 42 patients, 26.2% (11 patients) were resistant to clopidogrel. Conclusion: Antiplatelet resistance is common in ischemic stroke patients. One of five patients treated with antiplatelet showed non-responsiveness. Vascular risk factors do not increase the risk of antiplatelet resistance in ischemic stroke patients.

Background and Purpose: Intracranial arterial calcification is a marker of atherosclerosis burden in the general population. The aim of the study is to investigate risk factor profiles of vascular calcification in ischemic stroke patients. Methods: We identified ischemic stroke patients who underwent complete CTA from a prospective single-hospital stroke registry in 2018. Automatic artery and calcification segmentation method measured calcification volumes in the intracranial, extracranial, and aortic arteries using deep-learning U-net model and region-grow algorithms. Severe vascular calcification was defined as patients in the upper quartile calcification volume. The prevalence of severe vascular calcification and mean calcification volume were investigated by age category (<60 years, 60-70 years, 70-80 years, 80 years ≥). The relation between each potential risk factors and severe vascular calcification was assessed using the multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, NIHSS score, and TOAST stroke subtypes. Results: Of the 558 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients, 388 patients (212 males; mean age 66.6±14.2 years) met inclusion and with quantitative CTA calcification. The prevalence of severe vascular calcification (CTA calcification volume> 812 mm 3 ) increased with increasing age category (<60 years: 6.8% (7/103), 60-70 years: 15.7% (18/115), 70-80 years: 39.6% (38/105), 80 years ≥: 45.9% (34/74), P<0.001 for χ 2 test). Over age 80 years subsets had significantly higher mean calcification volume with 1213 mm 3 than other age category (<60 years: 225 mm 3 , P<0.001; 60-70 years: 462 mm 3 , P<0.001; 70-79 years: 817 mm 3 , P=0.020 for t-test). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, age (OR 1.096, 95% CI 1.066-1.128, P<0.001), smoking (OR 3.430, 95% CI 1.833-6.419, P<0.001), and large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) (OR 4.260, 95% CI 1.963-9.247, P<0.001) were independently associated with severe vascular calcification. Conclusion: In the quantitative CTA analysis of calcification volume, older age and smoking were high risk for severe atherosclerotic calcium burden in ischemic stroke patients. Moreover, severe vascular calcification may differentiate LAA from other stroke etiology.

Background: women who have ischemic strokes are on average older than men.Several studies, however, show that stroke outcomes are worse in women even after adjusting for age, and the specific conditions that contribute to this outcome are poorly known. Our objective was to evaluate post-stroke disability and mortality after ischemic stroke in women. Methods: acute ischemic stroke patients were prospectively included in a multidisciplinary secondary stroke prevention program. Pre-stroke vascular risk factor profile and control were obtained from electronic records; disability (modified Rankin scale) were evaluated one month after stroke. Results: fifty seven percent of the 1194 ischemic stroke patients prospectively included between December 2006 and December 2013 were women. They were older, more probably hypertensive, dislipidemic and diabetic, and had higher incidence of atrial fibrillation, while men had higher prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, smoking, and history of coronary heart disease and peripheral artery disease. Pre-stroke vascular risk factor control and management are shown in table 1. Women had worst outcome than men: mRankin >1 (66% women vs 52% men, p 0.0001), 30-day mortality (4% women vs 2% men, p 0.04), composite disability + mortality (52% women vs 36% men, p 0.0001). After adjusting by age women still had higher risk of disability and mortality: m-Rankin >1 (OR 1.40, 95%CI 1.05-1.87; p 0.02); mortality (OR 1.64, 95%CI 0,98-2,74), and composite disability + mortality (OR 1.59, 95%CI 1.22-2.07; p 0.004). Conclusion: in our cohort women have worst post-stroke outcome, even though they have higher burden of vascular risk factors they have lower prevalence of vascular disease in other vascular beds previous to stroke. This difference persists after adjusting by age, raising the possibility of specific gender risk factors influencing on ischemic stroke outcomes.
