    Abstract: Patients with acute stroke are often accompanied by comorbidities, such as active cancer. However, adequate treatment guidelines are not available for these patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between cancer and the outcomes of reperfusion therapy in patients with stroke. Methods: We compared treatment outcomes in patients who underwent reperfusion therapy, using a nationwide reperfusion therapy registry. We divided the patients into 3 groups according to cancer activity: active cancer, nonactive cancer, and without a history of cancer. We investigated reperfusion processes, 24-hour neurological improvement, adverse events, 3-month functional outcome, and 6-month survival and related factors after reperfusion therapy. Results: Among 1338 patients who underwent reperfusion therapy, 62 patients (4.6%) had active cancer, 78 patients (5.8%) had nonactive cancer, and 1198 patients (89.5%) had no history of cancer. Of the enrolled patients, 969 patients received intravenous thrombolysis and 685 patients underwent endovascular treatment (316 patients received combined therapy). Patients with active cancer had more comorbidities and experienced more severe strokes; however, they showed similar 24-hour neurological improvement and adverse events, including cerebral hemorrhage, compared with the other groups. Although the functional outcome at 3 months was poorer than the other groups, 36.4% of patients with active cancer showed functional independence. Additionally, 52.9% of the patients with determined stroke etiology showed functional independence despite active cancer. During the 6-month follow-up, 46.6% of patients with active cancer died, and active cancer was independently associated with poor survival (hazard ratio, 3.973 [95% CI, 2.528–6.245]). Conclusions: In patients with active cancer, reperfusion therapy showed similar adverse events and short-term outcomes to that of other groups. While long-term prognosis was worse in the active cancer group than the nonactive cancer groups, not negligible number of patients had good functional outcomes, especially those with determined stroke mechanisms.

    Abstract: d ‐Dimer level is a marker of hypercoagulability, which is associated with thrombus formation and resolution. We investigated the value of d ‐dimer levels in predicting outcomes of acute ischemic stroke in patients who underwent endovascular treatment (EVT). Methods We analyzed data of patients who underwent only EVT from the SECRET (Selection Criteria in Endovascular Thrombectomy and Thrombolytic Therapy) registry. d ‐Dimer levels were routinely measured in 10 of 15 participating hospitals. Patients were grouped into tertiles (tertile 1, tertile 2, and tertile 3) according to d ‐dimer levels (lowest, moderate, and highest, respectively). We compared serial scores on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at baseline, on day 1 of hospitalization, and at discharge; functional outcome 3 months after EVT; and rate of mortality within 6 months after EVT. Results In the 170 patients, the median d ‐dimer level was 477 ng/mL (interquartile range, 249–988 ng/mL). In tertile 3, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score was higher at discharge than on day 1 of hospitalization. Poor outcome 3 months after EVT (modified Rankin Scale score, ≥3) was more common with high d ‐dimer levels (26.3% of tertile 1, 57.1% of tertile 2, and 76.4% of tertile 3; P 〈 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that a high d ‐dimer level was independently associated with poor outcome 3 months after EVT (odds ratio [OR], 4.399 [95% CI, 1.594–12.135] ). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed that a high d ‐dimer level was independently associated with death within 6 months after EVT (OR, 5.441 [95% CI, 1.560–18.978]; log‐rank test, P 〈 0.001). The d ‐dimer effect showed no heterogeneity across the subgroups for poor outcome 3 months after EVT or death within 6 months after EVT. The direction of effect was unfavorable for tertile 3 across all demographic strata. Conclusions High plasma d ‐dimer levels were predictive of early neurologic worsening, poor functional outcome 3 months after EVT, and death within 6 months after EVT.

    Abstract: A high and low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) could affect outcomes after reperfusion therapy for ischemic stroke. This study aimed to determine whether renal function based on eGFR affects mortality risk in patients with ischemic stroke within 6 months following reperfusion therapy. Methods: This prospective registry–based cohort study included 2266 patients who received reperfusion therapy between January 2000 and September 2019 and were registered in the SECRET (Selection Criteria in Endovascular Thrombectomy and Thrombolytic Therapy) study or the Yonsei Stroke Cohort. A high and low eGFR were based on the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation and defined, respectively, as the 5th and 95th percentiles of age- and sex-specific eGFR. Occurrence of death within 6 months was compared among the groups according to their eGFR such as low, normal, or high eGFR. Results: Of the 2266 patients, 2051 (90.5%) had a normal eGFR, 110 (4.9%) a low eGFR, and 105 (4.6%) a high eGFR. Patients with high eGFR were younger or less likely to have hypertension, diabetes, or atrial fibrillation than the other groups. Active cancer was more prevalent in the high-eGFR group. During the 6-month follow-up, there were 24 deaths (22.9%) in the high-eGFR group, 37 (33.6%) in the low-eGFR group, and 237 (11.6%) in the normal-eGFR group. After adjusting for variables with P 〈 0.10 in the univariable analysis, 6-month mortality was independently associated with high eGFR (hazard ratio, 2.22 [95% CI, 1.36–3.62]; P =0.001) and low eGFR (HR, 2.29 [95% CI, 1.41–3.72]; P =0.001). These associations persisted regardless of treatment modality or various baseline characteristics. Conclusions: High eGFR as well as low eGFR were independently associated with 6-month mortality after reperfusion therapy. Kidney function could be considered a prognostic factor in patients with ischemic stroke after reperfusion therapy.

    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 51, No. 4 ( 2020-04), p. 1231-1239
    Abstract: The TST trial (Treat Stroke to Target) evaluated the benefit of targeting a LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in 2860 patients with ischemic stroke with atherosclerotic stenosis of cerebral vasculature or aortic arch plaque 〉 4 mm, in a French and Korean population. The follow-up lasted a median of 5.3 years in French patients (similar to the median follow-up time in the SPARCL trial [Stroke Prevention by Aggressive Reduction in Cholesterol Level]) and 2.0 years in Korean patients. Exposure duration to statin is a well-known driver for cardiovascular risk reduction. We report here the TST results in the French cohort. Methods— One thousand seventy-three French patients were assigned to 〈 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) and 1075 to 100±10 mg/dL (90–110 mg/dL, 2.3–2.8 mmol/L). To achieve these goals, investigators used the statin and dosage of their choice and added ezetimibe on top if needed. The primary outcome was the composite of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, new symptoms requiring urgent coronary or carotid revascularization and vascular death. Results— After a median follow-up of 5.3 years, the achieved LDL cholesterol was 66 (1.69 mmol/L) and 96 mg/dL (2.46 mmol/L) on average, respectively. The primary end point occurred in 9.6% and 12.9% of patients, respectively (HR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.57–0.94]; P =0.019). Cerebral infarction or urgent carotid revascularization following transient ischemic attack was reduced by 27% ( P =0.046). Cerebral infarction or intracranial hemorrhage was reduced by 28% ( P =0.023). The primary outcome or intracranial hemorrhage was reduced by 25% ( P =0.021). Intracranial hemorrhages occurred in 13 and 11 patients, respectively (HR, 1.17 [95% CI, 0.53–2.62]; P =0.70). Conclusions— After an ischemic stroke of documented atherosclerotic origin, targeting a LDL cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL during 5.3 years avoided 1 subsequent major vascular event in 4 (number needed to treat of 30) and no increase in intracranial hemorrhage.

    Abstract: Whether a strategy to target an LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol 〈 70 mg/dL is more effective when LDL is reduced 〉 50% from baseline rather than 〈 50% from baseline has not been investigated. METHODS: The Treat Stroke to Target trial was conducted in France and South Korea in 61 sites between March 2010 and December 2018. Patients with ischemic stroke in the previous 3 months or transient ischemic attack within the previous 15 days and evidence of cerebrovascular or coronary artery atherosclerosis were randomly assigned to a target LDL cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL or 100±10 mg/dL, using statin and/or ezetimibe as needed. We used the results of repeated LDL measurements (median, 5 [2–6] per patient) during 3.9 years (interquartile range, 2.1–6.8) of follow-up. The primary outcome was the composite of ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction, new symptoms requiring urgent coronary or carotid revascularization, and vascular death. Cox regression model including lipid-lowering therapy as a time-varying variable, after adjustment for randomization strategy, age, sex, index event (stroke or transient ischemic attack), and time since the index event. RESULTS: Among 2860 patients enrolled, patients in the lower target group who had 〉 50% LDL cholesterol reduction from baseline during the trial had a higher baseline LDL cholesterol and a lower LDL cholesterol achieved as compared to patients who had 〈 50% LDL cholesterol reduction (155±32 and 62 mg/dL versus 121±34 and 74 mg/dL, respectively, P 〈 0.001 for both). In the 〈 70 mg/dL target group, patients with 〉 50% LDL reduction had a significant reduction in the primary outcome as compared to the higher target group (hazard ratio, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.43–0.88]; P =0.007) and patients with 〈 50% LDL reduction from baseline had little reduction (hazard ratio, 0.96 [95% CI, 0.73–1.26]; P =0.75). CONCLUSIONS: In this post hoc analysis of the TST trial, targeting an LDL cholesterol of 〈 70 mg/dL reduced the risk of primary outcome compared with 100±10 mg/dL provided LDL cholesterol reduction from baseline was superior to 50%, thereby suggesting that the magnitude of LDL cholesterol reduction was as important to consider as the target level to achieve.

    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 41, No. 9 ( 2010-09), p. 1978-1983
    Abstract: Background and Purpose— An effective stroke code system that can expedite rapid thrombolytic treatment requires effective notification/communication and an organized team approach. We developed a stroke code program based on the computerized physician order entry (CPOE) system and investigated whether implementation of this CPOE-based program is useful for reducing the time from arrival at emergency departments (ED) to evaluation steps and the initiation of thrombolytic treatment in various hospital settings. Methods— The CPOE-based program was implemented by 10 hospitals. Time intervals from arrival at the ED to blood tests, computed tomography scanning, and thrombolytic treatment during the 1-year period before and the 1-year period after the program implementation were compared. Results— Time intervals from ED arrival to evaluation steps were significantly reduced after implementation of the CPOE-based program. Times from ED arrival to CT scan, complete blood counts, and prothrombin time testing were reduced by 7.7 minutes, 5.6 minutes, and 26.8 minutes, respectively ( P 〈 0.001). The time from ED arrival to intravenous thrombolysis was reduced from 71.7±33.6 minutes to 56.6±26.9 minutes ( P 〈 0.001). The number of patients who were treated with thrombolysis increased from 3.4% (199/5798 patients) before the CPOE-based program to 5.8% (312/5405 patients) afterward ( P 〈 0.001). The CPOE implementation also improved the inverse relationship between onset-to-door time and door-to-needle time. Conclusions— The CPOE-based stroke code could be successfully implemented to reduce in-hospital time delay in thrombolytic therapy in various hospital settings. CPOE may be used as an efficient tool to facilitate in-hospital notification/communication and an organized team approach.

    Thrombus Volume as a Predictor of Nonrecanalization After Intravenous Thrombolysis in Acute Stroke
    Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) ; 2018

    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 49, No. 9 ( 2018-09), p. 2108-2115
    Abstract: We investigated whether measuring the volume and density of a thrombus could predict nonrecanalization after intravenous thrombolysis. Methods— This study included a retrospective cohort to develop a computed tomography marker of thrombus for predicting nonrecanalization after intravenous thrombolysis and a prospective multicenter cohort for validation of this marker. The volume and density of thrombus were measured semiautomatically using 3-dimensional software on a baseline thin-section noncontrast computed tomography (1 or 1.25 mm). Recanalization was assessed on computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography immediately after intravenous thrombolysis or conventional angiography in patients who underwent further intra-arterial treatment. Nonrecanalization was defined as a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction grade 0, 1, 2a. Results— In the retrospective cohort, 162 of 214 patients (76.7%) failed to achieve recanalization. The thrombus volume was significantly larger in patients with nonrecanalization than in those with successful recanalization (149.5±127.6 versus 65.3±58.3 mm 3 ; P 〈 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, thrombus volume was independently associated with nonrecanalization ( P 〈 0.001). The cutoff for predicting nonrecanalization was calculated as 200 mm 3 . In the prospective multicenter validation study, none of the patients with a thrombus volume ≥200 mm 3 among 78 enrolled patients achieved successful recanalization. The positive and negative predictive values were 95.5 and 29.4 in the retrospective cohort 100 and 23.3 in the prospective validation cohort, respectively. The thrombus density was not associated with nonrecanalization. Conclusions— Thrombus volume was predictive of nonrecanalization after intravenous thrombolysis. Measurement of thrombus volume may help in determining the recanalization strategy and perhaps identify patients suitable for direct endovascular thrombectomy.

    Abstract: Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) has been proposed as a simple, noninvasive method for estimating arterial stiffness. Although high baPWV was predictive of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity among general population, its predictive value for mortality in patients with acute stroke is unknown. We evaluated the prognostic value of baPWV in 1765 patients who had been admitted for acute ischemic stroke and had completed measurement of baPWV during admission. Primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and vascular mortality (death because of heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, or diseases of arteries, arterioles, and capillaries, determined according to the International Classification of Diseases ) after stroke. During a mean follow-up period of 3.33±1.57 years, there were 228 all-cause deaths, including 143 vascular deaths. In multivariate Cox hazard regression, patients in the highest tertile of baPWV ( 〉 22.63 m/s) were at an increased risk for both all-cause death (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.97; 95% confidence interval, 1.25–3.08) and vascular death (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.39; 95% confidence interval, 1.33–4.29) compared with the lowest tertile ( 〈 17.79 m/s). This study suggested that measurement of baPWV during the acute phase of stroke might be useful in identifying patients at a higher risk for mortality.

    Abstract: Background and purpose: Many patients with ischemic stroke have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary screening is recommended in patients with high risks for CAD. It remains uncertain which group of stroke patients need evaluation for asymptomatic CAD, and which evaluation tool is appropriate for stroke patients. We investigated whether the coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores could predict significant CAD in patients with acute stroke and which stroke patients need a screening test for significant CAD. Methods: Among consecutive stroke patients between September 2011 and August 2013, a total of 1143 patients who underwent multiple detector CT coronary angiography and cerebral angiography were included. Atherosclerotic stenosis ≥ 50% or obstruction was classified as significant stenosis in coronary and cerebral arteries. Patients were grouped into four subgroups on the basis of CAC score: 0, 0.1-99.9, 100-399.9, and ≥ 400. Presence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and cigarette smoking were considered as risk factors. Results: Of 1143 patients, significant stenosis was detected in 164 patients (14.3%) in the internal carotid artery (ICA), 279 (24.4%) in the vertebrobasilar artery (VBA), and 81 (7.1%) in the both ICA and VBA. Significant coronary artery stenosis in at least one coronary artery was detected in the 398 patients (34.8%). Two or more risk factors and one or more significant stenosis in the ICA or VBA were considered as screening criteria for choosing potential CAD patients according to AUC analysis. As the CAC score increased, odd ratio for significant CAD remarkably increased (2.1678, CI 1.0152 to 4.6290 for CAC score 0, 5.7193 ,CI 2.9192 to 11.2051 for 0 〈 CAC score 〈 100 , 15.6351 ,CI 7.8537 to 31.1262 for 100≤CAC score 〈 400, and 72.2925, CI 33.8979 to 154.1746 for CAC score≥400, respectively, P 〈 0.05 for all). Conclusion: Two or more risk factors and one or more significant stenosis in the ICA or VBA can be used to choose patients with stroke who need to perform a screening test predicting significant CAD. CAC score also can be used as a screening to perform coronary artery evaluation even in the patients without documented cerebral atherosclerosis.

    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 45, No. 8 ( 2014-08), p. 2305-2310
    Abstract: We investigated whether the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) has prognostic value for predicting functional outcome after acute cerebral infarction and whether the prognostic value differs between stroke subtypes. Methods— We included 1091 consecutive patients with first-ever acute cerebral infarction who underwent baPWV measurements. Stroke subtypes were classified using the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment classification. Poor functional outcomes were defined as modified Rankin Scale score 〉 2 at 3 months after stroke onset. Results— We noted that 181 (16.59%) patients had a poor functional outcome. In multivariate logistic regression, patients in the highest tertile of baPWV ( 〉 22.25 m/s) were found to be at increased risk for poor functional outcome (adjusted odds ratio, 1.88; 95% confidence interval, 1.06–3.40) compared with those in the lowest tertile ( 〈 17.55 m/s). No significant interaction between baPWV and stroke subtype was noted. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the addition of baPWV to the prediction model significantly improved the discrimination ability for poor functional outcome. Conclusions— baPWV has an independent prognostic value for predicting functional outcome after acute cerebral infarction. The prognostic value did not differ according to the stroke subtype.
