    Abstract: The expected growth of stroke burden in Korea in early 2000s led to the initiation of a government-funded clinical research project with the goal of development and implementation of national stroke guidelines. The CRCS-K (Clinical Research Collaboration for Stroke in Korea) began as a part of this project. For stroke epidemiology and quality of care research, the CRCS-K developed a multicenter, prospective, stroke registry and began collection of data in 2008. Now, about 100 000 cases have been registered at 17 university hospitals or regional stroke centers and about 200 articles have been published based on the registry experience. The analysis of the 10-year secular trends showed overall improvement of stroke care and outcomes and areas for improvement. This large-scale, high-quality dataset provides opportunities to explore and compare treatment disparities using the comparative effectiveness research methods, design and conduct a registry-based randomized clinical trial, connect the registry data with other data sources including the national claims data and neuroimaging or genetic data, and collaborate with other international researchers. An international stroke registry consortium may be a viable future direction.

    Abstract: Stroke of other determined etiology (OE) includes patients with an uncommon cause of stroke. We described the general characteristics, management, and outcomes of stroke in OE and its subgroups. Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of a prospective, multicenter, nationwide registry, the Clinical Research Center for Stroke-Korea-National Institutes of Health registry. We classified OE strokes into 10 subgroups according to the literature and their properties. Each OE subgroup was compared according to clinical characteristics, sex, age strata, lesion locations, and management. Moreover, 1-year composites of stroke and all-cause mortality were investigated according to the OE subgroups. Results: In total, 2119 patients with ischemic stroke with OE types (mean age, 55.6±16.2 years; male, 58%) were analyzed. In the Clinical Research Center for Stroke-Korea-National Institutes of Health registry, patients with OE accounted for 2.8% of all patients with stroke. The most common subtypes were arterial dissection (39.1%), cancer-related coagulopathy (17.3%), and intrinsic diseases of the arterial wall (16.7%). Overall, strokes of OE were more common in men than in women (58% versus 42%). Arterial dissection, intrinsic diseases of the arterial wall and stroke associated with migraine and drugs were more likely to occur at a young age, while disorders of platelets and the hemostatic system, cancer-related coagulopathy, infectious diseases, and hypoperfusion syndromes were more frequent at an old age. The composite of stroke and all-cause mortality within 1 year most frequently occurred in cancer-related coagulopathy, with an event rate of 71.8%, but least frequently occurred in stroke associated with migraine and drugs and arterial dissection, with event rates of 0% and 7.2%, respectively. Conclusions: This study presents the different characteristics, demographic findings, lesion locations, and outcomes of OE and its subtypes. It is characterized by a high proportion of arterial dissection, high mortality risk in cancer-related coagulopathy and an increasing annual frequency of cancer-related coagulopathy in patients with stroke of OE.

    Abstract: Stroke is a devastating and costly disease; however, there is a paucity of information on long-term costs and on how they differ according to 3-month modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, which is a primary outcome variable in acute stroke intervention trials. Methods We analyzed a prospective multicenter stroke registry (Clinical Research Collaboration for Stroke in Korea) database through linkage with claims data from the National Health Insurance Service with follow-up to December 2016. Healthcare expenditures were converted into daily cost individually, and annual and cumulative costs up to 5 years were estimated and compared according to the 3-month mRS score. Results Between January 2011 and November 2013, 11,136 patients were enrolled in the study. The mean age was 68 years, and 58% were men. The median follow-up period was 3.9 years (range 0–5 years). Mean cumulative cost over 5 years was $117,576 (US dollars [USD]); the cost in the first year after stroke was the highest ($38,152 USD), which increased markedly from the cost a year before stroke ($8,718 USD). The mean 5-year cumulative costs differed significantly according to the 3-month mRS score ( p 〈 0.001); the costs for a 3-month mRS score of 0 or 5 were $53,578 and $257,486 USD, respectively. Three-month mRS score was an independent determinant of long-term costs after stroke. Conclusions We show that 3-month mRS score plays an important role in the prediction of long-term costs after stroke. Such estimates relating to 3-month mRS categories may be valuable when undertaking health economic evaluations related to stroke care.

    Abstract: Background and Purpose: Stroke is one of the most devastating and costly health problems of today. However, there is lack of knowledge about how costly it is in a long-term perspective and how much the long-term cost differs according to 3-month functional outcome, a major primary outcome variable of acute stroke intervention trials. Methods: Acute ischemic stroke patients who were registered into the multi-center stroke registry (Clinical Research Collaboration for Stroke in Korea, CRCS-K) in South Korea between 2011 and 2013 were matched to the National Health Insurance Service claim database. All the healthcare expenditure was extracted from the claim database and converted into daily cost of each individual. Yearly expenditures and cumulative expenditure up to 5 yeas were obtained and expressed in US dollars and were compared according to 3-month functional outcome (modified Rankin disability scale, mRS).Results: A total of 11,136 acute ischemic stroke patients (mean age, 68 years; men 58%) were analyzed. The median follow-up period was 1,418 days. The mean cumulative healthcare expenditure over 5 years was $74,295 (SD, $91,049) and showed a dramatic increment during the first month followed by a constant increase without a considerable change. The mean 5-year cumulative expenditure differed significantly according to 3-month functional outcome; $32,261 in those with 3-month mRS 0 and $163,244 in those with 3-month mRS 5. After adjusting for the selected potential confounders, the yearly expenditures and the cumulative one at each time point differed significantly according to 3-month mRS scores. Figure given below is showing the median 5-year cumulative daily expenditure by 3-month mRS. Conclusions: This study shows that the impact of 3-month functional outcome on the long-term healthcare expenditure following acute ischemic stroke may be more than expected. The efforts for improving functional outcomes are urgent.

    Abstract: To improve epidemiologic knowledge of neurologic deterioration (ND) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods In this prospective observational study, we captured ND prospectively in 29,446 patients with AIS admitted to 15 hospitals in Korea within 7 days of stroke onset. ND was defined as an increase in NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥2 (total), or ≥1 (motor or consciousness), or any new neurologic symptoms. Change in incidence rate after stroke onset, causes, factors associated with ND, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months and 1 year, and a composite of stroke, myocardial infarction, and all-cause death at 1 year were assessed. Results ND occurred in 4,299 (14.6%) patients. The highest rate, 6.95 per 1,000 person-hours incidence, was within the first 6 hours, which decreased to 2.09 within 24–48 hours, and 0.66 within 72–96 hours after stroke onset. Old age, female sex, diabetes, early arrival, large artery atherosclerosis as a stroke subtype, high NIHSS scores, glucose level, systolic blood pressure, leukocytosis at admission, recanalization therapy, TIA without a relevant lesion, and steno-occlusion of relevant arteries were associated with ND. The causes were stroke progression (71.8%) followed by recurrence (8.5%). Adjusted relative risks (95% CI) for poor outcome (mRS 3–6) at 3 months and 1 year were 1.75 (1.70–1.80) and 1.70 (1.65–1.75), respectively. The adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) for the composite event was 1.59 (1.45–1.74). Conclusions ND should be taken into consideration as a factor that may influence the outcome in acute ischemic stroke.

    Abstract: Randomized trials comparing the use of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to multimodal computed tomography (CT)/ CT angiography (CTA) for selecting candidates for endovascular therapy (EVT) have not been reported. This study aimed to elucidate whether MRI-based selection for EVT is safe and effective within and after a 6-hour time window compared with conventional CTA-based selection. Methods— Data from a prospective, nationwide, multicenter stroke registry were analyzed. Workflow timelines were compared between patients selected for EVT based on MRI (the MRI group) and CTA (the CTA group). Multivariable ordinal and binary logistic regression analyses were performed to explore the relationships between decision imaging for EVT and clinical outcomes, including good and excellent outcomes (modified Rankin Scale scores of 0–2 and 0–1, respectively) at 3-month, modified Rankin Scale score distributions and safety outcomes (symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage [SICH] and mortality). Results— Ultimately, 1265 patients (age, 69±12 yrs; men, 55%) were enrolled in this study. The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was 15 (11–19). All workflow time metrics were significantly delayed in the MRI group compared with the CTA group. There was no difference in good 3-month outcomes in patients arriving within 6 hours of onset between the MRI and CTA groups (38.1% versus 38.5%), but SICH and mortality rates were lower in the MRI group than the CTA group (3.8% versus 7.7%, P =0.01 for SICH; 15.4% versus 20.9%, P =0.04 for mortality). In the multivariable analysis, decision imaging was not significantly associated with 3-month functional outcomes (all P 〉 0.1) or mortality ( P =0.051); however, the MRI group was less likely to develop SICH than the CTA group ( P =0.01; odds ratio, 0.34 [95% CI, 0.17–0.77]). Conclusions— Our study found MRI-based selection for EVT was not associated with improving functional outcome compared with CT-based selection, but may be better at reducing the risk of SICH, despite the delays in all workflow time metrics.

    Abstract: Patients with minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack are at high risk of recurrent stroke and vascular events, which are potentially disabling or fatal. This study aimed to evaluate contemporary subsequent vascular event risk after minor ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack in Korea. Methods— Patients with minor ischemic stroke or high-risk transient ischemic attack admitted within 7 days of symptom onset were identified from a Korean multicenter stroke registry database. We estimated 3-month and 1-year event rates of the primary outcome (composite of stroke recurrence, myocardial infarction, or all-cause death), stroke recurrence, a major vascular event (composite of stroke recurrence, myocardial infarction, or vascular death), and all-cause death and explored differences in clinical characteristics and event rates according to antithrombotic strategies at discharge. Results— Of 9506 patients enrolled in this study, 93.8% underwent angiographic assessment and 72.7% underwent cardiac evaluations; 25.1% had symptomatic stenosis or occlusion of intracranial arteries. At discharge, 95.2% of patients received antithrombotics (antiplatelet polytherapy, 37.1%; anticoagulation, 15.3%) and 86.2% received statins. The 3-month cumulative event rate was 5.9% for the primary outcome, 4.3% for stroke recurrence, 4.6% for a major vascular event, and 2.0% for all-cause death. Corresponding values at 1 year were 9.3%, 6.1%, 6.7%, and 4.1%, respectively. Patients receiving nonaspirin antithrombotic strategies or no antithrombotic agent had higher baseline risk profiles and at least 1.5× higher event rates for clinical event outcomes than those with aspirin monotherapy. Conclusions— Contemporary secondary stroke prevention strategies based on thorough diagnostic evaluation may contribute to the low subsequent vascular event rates observed in real-world clinical practice in Korea.

    Abstract: Introduction: Predicting outcomes of acute stroke patients initially presenting with mild neurologic deficits is important in making decision for thrombolytic therapy. Previous researches with a small sample size have failed to find specific items of NIH Stroke Scale or clinical syndromes to be predictive of functional outcome. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that certain items of the NIH Stroke Scale or their combinations would be independently associated with unfavorable functional outcome after mild stroke Methods: Using a multicenter stroke registry database, we identified patients with acute ischemic stroke who presented within 4.5 hours of symptom onset and had initial NIH Stroke Scale scores ≤ 5. Functional outcomes at three months after the stroke were classified as favorable (modified Rankin Scale score [mRS] 0 to 1) or unfavorable (mRS 2-6). The individual NIH Stroke Scale items were dichotomized as absent (0) or present (≥1) for the analysis. The NIH Stroke Scale items and the total score were tested for predicting the outcomes in multivariable models adjusting for demographics and clinical characteristics. Area under the ROC curve (AUC) was used to assess the performance of multivariable models. Results: Among 2,209 patients who met the eligible criteria, 588 patients (26.6%) exhibited unfavorable functional outcome (mRS 2-6) at three months. The most frequently present items were item 10 (dysarthria, 37.5%), item 4 (facial palsy, 21.1%), item 8 (sensory, 15.0%), and items indicating limb paralysis. Among 15 items of NIH Stroke Scale, all items except for item 8 (sensory) and item 11 (extinction) were significantly associated with unfavorable functional outcomes in bivariate analysis (P 〈 0.05), and many of them remained significant in multivariable analyses. In multivariable analyses, the model including the total NIH Stroke Scale scores exhibited similar AUC (0.759; 95% CI, 0.740 -0.776; P=0.75 for pairwise comparison) compared to the model with all NIH Stroke Scale items (0.758; 0.739 - 0.775) in predicting functional outcomes after the stroke. Conclusions: Simply using the total score was as effective as using all NIH Stroke Scale items in predicting outcomes of patients presented with mild stroke symptom.

    Abstract: Introduction: The utilization of drip-and-ship thrombolysis paradigm, clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients treated with the paradigm could vary with regional stroke care system. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that clinical characteristics and functional outcomes of patients treated with drip-and-ship paradigm would be different from those of patients treated via direct visit. Methods: From a multicenter stroke registry, we identified acute ischemic stroke patients treated with tPA who arrived hospital within 6 hours from the symptom onset. Functional outcomes at three months after the stroke were classified as favorable (modified Rankin Scale score [mRS] 0 to 1) or unfavorable (mRS 2-6). Using multivariable analysis, we compared the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at 3 months and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages (SICH) between patients treated with drip-and-ship paradigm and those treated via direct visit. Results: Among 1,843 patients who met the eligible criteria, 244 patients (13.2%; 95% CI, 11.7-14.9) were treated using drip-and-ship paradigm. Patients treated with drip-and-ship paradigm had shorter onset to needle time compared with patients treated via direct visit (median[IQR], 110 minutes[79-150] vs 126 minutes[90-173], p 〈 0.001). After multivariable analysis, patients treated with drip-and-ship paradigm had significantly greater risk of unfavorable functional outcome (mRS 2-6) at 3 months after the stroke compared with patients treated via direct visit (OR 2.15; 95% CI, 1.50-3.08; p 〈 0.001). SICH also occurred more frequently in patients treated with drip-and-ship paradigm (OR 1.78; 95% CI, 1.02-3.12; p =0.04). Of 1,843 patients, 509 patients (27.6%, 71 patients with drip-and-ship paradigm and 438 patients via direct visit) received subsequent endovascular recanalization therapy. The use of drip-and-ship paradigm caused approximately 105 minute delay in onset to groin puncture time compared with those treated via direct visit (305 minutes[260-345] vs 200 minutes[155-245] , p 〈 0.001). Conclusions: Drip-and-ship thrombolysis paradigm was used in less than 15% of patients treated with tPA, and use of the paradigm caused a significant delay in onset to groin puncture time for endovascular therapy.

    Abstract: Background: Recovery after acute ischemic stroke is usually bi-phasic. It begins early with speed and slows down after the first month. Many factors have been reported as determinants of functional outcomes. However, there is a paucity of information on their differential effects on early and late recovery. Methods: Using a multicenter prospective stroke registry database, we identified ischemic stroke patients who were hospitalized within 7 days of onset to 12 hospitals, who were discharged within 30 days. Early recovery was defined as improvement of ≥ 4 points or 〉 50% in the NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores between baseline and discharge, and late recovery was as improvement of ≥ 1 point in mRS scores between discharge and 3 months. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to estimate effects of independent variables considering a correlation between the two dependent variables, early and late recovery. Results: During 54 months, 11088 patients met the eligibility criteria. Early recovery was observed in 36% and median NIHSS change from baseline to discharge was 3 points. Late recovery was found in 33%. Multivariate analysis for revealed that 1) age, pre-stroke mRS, initial NIHSS and prior statin use were associated with both the early and late recovery, 2) onset to arrival time, large artery atherosclerosis, previous stroke, initial blood glucose level, congestive heart failure, thrombolytic treatment were with the early recovery only, and 3) cardioembolism and statin at discharge were with the late recovery only (p’s 〈 0.05). Tests for estimating equality showed that age, onset to arrival time, initial NIHSS, initial blood glucose level, systolic blood pressure, smoking, thrombolytic treatment had differential effects on early and late recovery (p’s 〈 0.05). Conclusion: Many of known determinants of 3-month functional outcome may have differential effects on early and late recovery of acute ischemic stroke.
