    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: Selecting among different antiplatelet strategies when patients experience a new ischemic stroke while taking aspirin is a common clinical challenge, currently addressed by a paucity of data. Methods— This study is an analysis of a prospective multicenter stroke registry database from 14 hospitals in South Korea. Patients with acute noncardioembolic stroke, who were taking aspirin for prevention of ischemic events at the time of onset of stroke, were enrolled. Study subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the subsequent antiplatelet therapy strategy pursued; maintaining aspirin monotherapy (MA group), switching aspirin to nonaspirin antiplatelet agents (SA group), and adding another antiplatelet agent to aspirin (AA group). The primary study end point was the composite of stroke (ischemic and hemorrhagic), myocardial infarction, and vascular death up to 1 year after stroke onset. Results— A total of 1172 patients were analyzed for this study. Antiplatelet strategies pursued in study patients were MA group in 212 (18.1%), SA group in 246 (21.0%), and AA group in 714 (60.9%). The Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that, compared with the MA group, there was a reduction in the composite vascular event primary end point in the SA group (hazard ratio, 0.50; 95% confidence interval, 0.27–0.92; P =0.03) and in the AA group (hazard ratio, 0.40; 95% confidence interval, 0.24–0.66; P 〈 0.001). Conclusions— This study showed that, compared with maintaining aspirin, switching to or adding alternative antiplatelet agents may be better in preventing subsequent vascular events in patients who experienced a new ischemic stroke while taking aspirin.

    Abstract: We compared baseline characteristics and outcomes at 3 months between patients with minor anterior circulation infarction (ACI) versus minor posterior circulation infarction (PCI), including the influence of large vessel disease on outcomes. Methods— This study is an analysis of a prospective multicenter registry database in South Korea. Eligibility criteria were patients with ischemic stroke admitted within 7 days of stroke onset, lesions in either anterior or posterior circulation, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of ≤4 at baseline. Patients were divided into 4 groups for further analysis: minor ACI with and without internal carotid artery/middle cerebral artery large vessel disease and minor PCI with and without vertebrobasilar large vessel disease. Results— A total of 7178 patients (65.2±12.6 years) were analyzed in this study, and 2233 patients (31.1%) had disability (modified Rankin Scale score 2–6) at 3 months. Disability was 32.3% in minor PCI and 30.3% in minor ACI ( P =0.07), and death was 1.3% and 1.5%, respectively ( P =0.82). In a multivariable logistic regression analysis, minor PCI was significantly associated with disability at 3 months when compared with minor ACI (odds ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.09–1.37; P 〈 0.001). In pairwise comparisons, minor PCI with vertebrobasilar large vessel disease was independently associated with disability at 3 months, compared with the other 3 groups. Conclusions— Our study showed that minor PCI exhibited more frequent disability at 3 months than minor ACI. Especially, the presence of vertebrobasilar large vessel disease in minor PCI had a substantially higher risk of disability. Our results suggest that minor PCI with vertebrobasilar large vessel disease could require more meticulous care and are important targets for further study.

    Abstract: Since its introduction, controversy has existed about the administration of intravenous heparin for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. We studied trends in the intravenous heparin use during a 6-year time period and the potential influence of clinical guidelines in national language on intravenous heparin administration in Korea. Methods— On the basis of a prospective nationwide multicenter stroke registry, we collected data on patients with acute ischemic stroke who arrived within 7 days of symptom onset during the time period 2008 to 2013. We studied patient demographics, prestroke medical history, stroke characteristics, and stroke treatment. Data from a total of 23 425 patients from 12 university hospitals or regional stroke centers were analyzed. Results— The administration of intravenous heparin steadily decreased throughout the study period: 9.7% in 2008, 10.9% in 2009, 9.4% in 2010, 6.0% in 2011, 4.7% in 2012, and 4.3% in 2013 ( P for trend 〈 0.001). The reduced intravenous heparin use was associated with moderate stroke severity, atrial fibrillation, and stroke of cardioembolic, other-, and undetermined etiology. In a multivariable logistic model, increase of 1 calendar year (odds ratio, 0.89; 95% confidence interval, 0.84–0.95; P 〈 0.001) and release of clinical practice guidelines in Korean (odd ratio, 0.74; 95% confidence interval, 0.59–0.91; P 〈 0.01) were independent factors associated with reduction in the frequency of intravenous heparin use. Conclusions— Use of intravenous heparin for acute ischemic stroke treatment has decreased in Korea, and this change may be attributable to the spread and successful implementation of regional clinical practice guidelines.

    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: Backgrounds: Previous studies demonstrated the association of resting heart rate with cardiovascular outcomes while there were only few evidence for patients who experienced ischemic stroke. As atrial fibrillation (AF) is characterized by rapidity and irregularity of heart rate, heart rate characteristics might be a predictor for future vascular event in patients with AF acute ischemic stroke. Methods: From a multicenter prospective registry of stroke patients, acute ischemic stroke patients with AF who admitted within 48 hours after stroke onset were included. Heart rate data during the first 24 hours after admission were collected and level and variability of heart rate were assessed by mean and coefficient of variation (CV). Primary outcome was a composite of stroke recurrence, myocardial infarction and all-cause death, which was prospectively captured until 1 year after stroke onset. Results: A total of 2,046 patients were included for the final analysis. There were 102 (5.0%) stroke recurrence, 9 (0.4%) myocardial infarction and 440 (21.5%) death events within 1 year after stroke onset. Proportional hazards regression models were constructed and the non-linearity of effects of heart rate parameters were examined for outcome events. Among all the associations, effects of mean heart rate on primary outcome and all-cause mortality were non-linear ( p’s for quadratic effect = 0.017 and 0.032, respectively). The overall effects were significant only for effects of mean heart rate on primary outcome and all-cause mortality (P =0.013 and P=0.006, respectively). Effects of CV on outcome variables were not significant. Conclusion: This study suggests that mean heart rate during the first day of hospitalization was a predictor of future vascular events in AF patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke and the association seems to be non-linear ‘J shaped’. However, heart rate variability did not affect.

    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: Background: The incidence of stroke in young adults is increasing with the growing prevalence of stroke risk factors among young adults over the last decades. However, studies on secular trends in the young-age stroke population are scarce. Methods: We extracted data of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients aged 18-50 (n=7053; age, 43±6; male, 72%) from the multicenter stroke registry in South Korea. Demographics, risk factors, stroke characteristics, management, and clinical outcomes in young adults with AIS were summarized according to calendar year (2008-2019). Trends analysis was conducted using a linear regression model for continuous variables and the Mann-Kendall trend test for categorical variables. Results: There was no significant change between 2008 and 2019 in the proportions of young adults among female patients (7.1% to 7.0%, p=0.44). However, the proportions of young adults within male patients tended to decrease (12.4% to 10.7%; p=0.001) The prevalence, and awareness of risk factors were unchanged during the study period. Regarding stroke subtypes, there was a significant increase in other determined etiology (8% to 20%; p 〈 0.001) and a tendency to decrease in large artery atherosclerosis (26% in 2008; 34% in 2009 to 26% in 2019; p=0.28). The endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) rate increased (2% to 8%; p 〈 0.001), but the intravenous thrombolysis rate (8.8% to 10.6%) and door-to-needle time (38 to 36 min) did not change. Use of dual antiplatelet (DAPT; 29% to 55%; p= 〈 0.001) increased and direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with atrial fibrillation tended to increase (11.7% in 2013 to 44.8% in 2019; p=0.07; DOAC began to be used in 2013 in Korea). However, the use of anticoagulants among young adult patients having atrial fibrillation tended to decrease (80% to 66%; p=0.054). Clinical outcomes, including a 3-month modified ranking scale 0-2 (84.6% to 85.2%), 1-year mortality (2.8% to 2.4%), and stroke recurrence rate (4.5 to 5.6%), did not improve during the study period. Conclusions: Among young adults with ischemic stroke, the EVT rate and use of DAPT or DOACs increased. Still, awareness of risk factors, door-to-needle time, and anticoagulation for atrial fibrillation required more attention to improve clinical outcomes.

    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.
