Background: Developing countries are challenging with stroke as the third cause of death in developed countries and the most popular neurologic disease which results in disability. This study was designed to assess the relationship between demographic factors and early outcome in adult patients with difference type of stroke. Methods and Materials: A retrospective register review was performed from March 2017 to March 2018. ED medical document (chart) were reviewed by a neurologist or physician to obtain the clinical diagnosis, patient characteristics. Their demographic data (such as age, gender), NIHSS score and MRS score were filled in questionnaire. the significant variables were verified in a multivariable model to achieve an attuned estimate of effect. Results: A total of 861 patients with stroke were included in the analysis; the male and female sex in the statistical population were 56% and 43%; the mean age of the patients was 14.32 ± 61.74. The mean NIHSS (16.08±10.51) & MRS (3.66) scores were evaluated, respectively 47% severe stroke (NICHSS>16). There was no significant relationship between age increase and NIHSS increase (P = 0.86). Conclusion: Aging has a significant relationship with increased stroke. Gender and age differences in risk of stroke outcomes are mostly described by variations in physical characteristics and stroke severity of the patients.

AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between autofluorescence (AF) signal measured with ultra-wide field imaging and visual functions in patients with cone-rod dystrophy (CORD). A retrospective chart review was performed for CORD patients. We performed the visual field test and fundus autofluorescence (FAF) measurement and visualized retinal structures with optical coherence tomography (OCT) on the same day. Using binarised FAF images, we identified a low FAF area ratio (LFAR: low FAF/30°). Relationships between age and logMAR visual acuity (VA), central retinal thickness (CRT), central choroidal thickness (CCT), mean deviation (MD) value, and LFAR were investigated. Thirty-seven eyes of 21 CORD patients (8 men and 13 women) were enrolled. The mean patient age was 49.8 years. LogMAR VA and MD were 0.52 ± 0.47 and − 17.91 ± 10.59 dB, respectively. There was a significant relationship between logMAR VA and MD (p = 0.001). LogMAR VA significantly correlated with CRT (p = 0.006) but not with other parameters. Conversely, univariate analysis suggested a significant relationship between MD and LFAR (p = 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, LFAR was significantly associated with MD (p = 0.002). In conclusion, it is useful to measure the low FAF area in patients with CORD. The AF measurement reflects the visual field deterioration but not VA in CORD.

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate if tests used to assess core stability could be used to determine success in physiological tests applied to assess dynamic balance and agility for a young active population. Methods: Pearson's r correlation coefficient was used to assess the relationship between the core stability tests and the dynamic balance and agility tests. Evaluation of the tests was established using Cronbach's coefficient of variance as part of intra-rater reliability tests. An analysis of 18 active college aged students was conducted (males: n= 13, females: n= 5). The mean ± SD age for males was 19.2 years ± 3.22 years and for females was 19.4 years ± 1.14 years. Conclusion: The results indicate that there is no significant relationship between tests that assess core stability and tests conducted to assess dynamic balance in active young adults. With the exception of the abdominal flexion test, no significant relationship exists between the remaining core stability tests and agility T-Test. Core stability is not a determinant of balance and agility.

Objective: Our study aimed to examine retrospectively the anesthesia techniques and their results applied to patients who underwent endovascular aortic repair due to aortic pathology. Methods: This retrospective and observational study included patients who underwent EVAR or TEVAR for abdominal and/or thoracic aortic aneurysm between 2015-2021. Patients’ demographic data, type of surgery and anesthesia, duration of surgery and anesthesia, amount of blood transfusion, lengths of stay in ICU and of hospital were recorded. Results: The data of 206 patients who underwent EVAR and TEVAR for abdominal and/or thoracic aortic aneurysm were obtained. TEVAR was applied to 63 patients and EVAR was applied to 143 patients. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia (GA) in all 63 patients who underwent TEVAR, while 15 patients who underwent EVAR were operated under GA and 128 patients under regional anesthesia (RA). The mean anesthesia and surgery times were found 136.1±72.0 min. and 112.2±71.3 min. in GA patients and it was 112.2±71.3 min. and 96.5±32.1 min. in RA patients. The mean length of ICU and hospital stays were determined as 1.6±2.1 days and 3.1±2.7 days in GA patients, and 1.2±0.6 days and 3.1±2.5 days in RA patients. Conclusion: GA or RA methods are preferred as anesthesia techniques in patients undergoing EVAR due to aortic aneurysm. Although RA has advantages compared to GA, such as shorting the lenght of hospital and ICU stays, reducing the blood product requirements, shorting both anesthesia and surgery times, patient characteristics should also be considered in the selection of anesthesia techniques.

Abstract Background Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is a common cause of acute respiratory infection (ARI) in adults. Prospective surveillance enables collection of representative data on demographic and clinical characteristics. Few data of this kind are available for adults hospitalized with RSV infection. We used active population-based surveillance to identify patients with laboratory-confirmed RSV infection and evaluated demographic characteristics and clinical outcomes. Methods Hospitalized adults ≥ 18 years old residing in a predefined catchment area with ≥ 2 ARI symptoms or exacerbation of underlying cardiopulmonary disease were screened for eligibility during October 2017–April 2018 and October 2018–April 2019 in 3 hospitals in Rochester, NY and New York City. Respiratory specimens were tested for RSV using PCR assays. Clinical and demographic data were abstracted from the medical record. Multivariate analysis was used to evaluate the relationship of patient characteristics with clinical outcomes. Results 8,217 hospitalized adults were screened and 9.4% positive for RSV infection. Preliminary clinical and demographic data were available for 348 patients including 14% 18–49 years, 28% 50–64 years and 58% > 65 years. Mean age was 68 years and 60% were female (Figure 1). Patients had a mean of 3 co-morbidities, with diabetes (40%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (30%), chronic kidney disease (28%), congestive heart failure (28%), coronary artery disease (25%) and asthma (24%) the most common co-morbidities (Figure 2). Median hospital length of stay was 6 days (IQR 4–10), 13% of patients were admitted to the ICU, 5% were mechanically ventilated and 5% died during admission and 12% within 6 months. In multivariate analysis having > 3 comorbidities, cardiac disease or a lower baseline functional status measured by activities of daily living scores was significantly associated with 6-month mortality. Conclusion The majority of hospitalized patients with RSV infection were older adults with ≥ 3 chronic comorbid conditions. Baseline functional status may be predictive of worse clinical outcomes in patients with RSV infection. These insights into patient characteristics and clinical outcomes will provide information for prevention programs. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.
