    Abstract: The long‐term incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has not been well defined in large cohort studies of various race‐ethnic groups. Methods and Results A prospective cohort of patients with AIS who were registered in a multicenter nationwide stroke registry (CRCS‐K [Clinical Research Collaboration for Stroke in Korea] registry) was followed up for the occurrence of AMI through a linkage with the National Health Insurance Service claims database. The 5‐year cumulative incidence and annual risk were estimated according to predefined demographic subgroups, stroke subtypes, a history of coronary heart disease (CHD), and known risk factors of CHD. A total of 11 720 patients with AIS were studied. The 5‐year cumulative incidence of AMI was 2.0%. The annual risk was highest in the first year after the index event (1.1%), followed by a much lower annual risk in the second to fifth years (between 0.16% and 0.27%). Among subgroups, annual risk in the first year was highest in those with a history of CHD (4.1%) compared with those without a history of CHD (0.8%). The small‐vessel occlusion subtype had a much lower incidence (0.8%) compared with large‐vessel occlusion (2.2%) or cardioembolism (2.4%) subtypes. In the multivariable analysis, history of CHD (hazard ratio, 2.84; 95% CI, 2.01–3.93) was the strongest independent predictor of AMI after AIS. Conclusions The incidence of AMI after AIS in South Korea was relatively low and unexpectedly highest during the first year after stroke. CHD was the most substantial risk factor for AMI after stroke and conferred an approximate 5‐fold greater risk.

    Abstract: Background: Incidence of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding after acute ischemic stroke (AIS) was reported as 1.5% during hospitalization, one-thirds of which required blood transfusion. However, it is not known about the long-term incidence and the incidence rates by period after AIS. Methods: AIS patients who were admitted to the 14 participating hospitals between 2011 and 2013 were identified using a nationwide multicenter prospective stroke registry database. GI bleeding was captured with related diagnosis codes by International Classification of Diseases-10th Revision through the linkage between the registry database and the claims data. Bleeding requiring at least 2 packs of blood transfusion was defined as major GI bleeding. Incidence rates were calculated for each period as follow; 0-30 days, 31-90 days, 91-180 days, 181-365 days, 1-2 years, 2-3years, after 3 years. Results: Of 10,818 AIS patients, 59.0% were male and mean age was 67.5 ± 12.9 years. The median follow-up duration was 3.1 (interquartile range 2.3 to 4.0) years. During 31,208 person-years, 947 patients (8.8%) had 1,224 episodes of major GI bleeding. Annual incidence rate was 3.92 per 100 person-years. The incidence rates by periods were the highest at 19.21 per 100 person-years in the first month of AIS, gradually decreased to 9.02 in one to three months, 6.18 in three to six months, and 3.48 in six to twelve months. After three years, it remained at about 2.62 events per 100 person-years. During the observation period, only one major GI bleeding occurred without recurrence in about 80% of patients, about 13% recurred twice, and about 6% of patients had three or more recurrences. In the multivariable recurrent event analysis, anemia at admission, lower eGFR below 60, and mRS at 3 months ≥4 were independently associated with higher risk of major GI bleeding during the most of the observation period above 3 years. Conclusions: Major GI bleeding, requiring transfusion, seems to occur frequently after AIS, and the risk was gradually decreased after stroke. The efforts are needed to prevent it, especially in stroke patients with anemia and decreased renal function.

    Abstract: Purpose: The usefulness of the existing risk stratification tools for atrial fibrillation (AF) is limited in predicting stroke recurrence in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Neuroimaging parameters obtained from diagnostic work-up of AIS could offer more elaborate prediction. Methods: A multicenter prospective cohort of AIS patients with AF recruited from 14 university hospitals or regional stroke centers were followed up for recurrent ischemic stroke (RIS) and a composite of all stroke and TIA. Neuroimaging features were derived from acute and chronic infarction patterns, and SVD markers such as lacunes, CMBs, and WMH. Cumulative incidences according to each neuroimaging parameter were estimated and compared using the Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test and multivariable cause-specific hazard models with death as a competing risk. Results: A total of 2,270 patients were followed up for 431 days (IQR, 365-735), during which 111 RISs and 130 composite outcomes occurred. In unadjusted analysis, lesion multiplicity among acute infarction patterns, the presence of chronic non-lacunar infarction, and the presence of lacunes among SVD markers increased the risk of RIS significantly (Table). Other neuroimaging features such as territory multiplicity and location, confluency, topography, and size of acute lesions, lesion multiplicity, territory multiplicity, confluency, topography, and size of chronic infarction, number of lacunes, presence of CMBs, and WMH did not affect the incidence of RIS. The adjusted hazard ratios of lesion multiplicity of acute infarction, chronic infarction and lacunes were 1.45 (95% CI, 0.99-2.11), 1.57 (1.06-2.34) and 1.97 (1.30-2.98) for RIS, respectively. Similar findings were obtained for the composite outcome. Conclusions: Several neuroimaging markers were associated with recurrent ischemic stroke in AIS with AF. This could pave the way to a new stratification scheme for AF including neuroimaging parameters.

    Abstract: Background: The significance of silent brain infarction (SBI) for stroke recurrence in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has yet to be elucidated. This study aims to evaluate SBI as an independent predictor and which characteristics of SBI are associated with stroke recurrence in AIS patients with AF. Methods: A multicenter prospective cohort recruited AIS patients with non-valvular AF from 14 centers from Oct 2017 to Dec 2018, and followed for ischemic stroke recurrence, all types of stroke and TIA, and all-cause mortality. Three patient groups; stroke patients with prior stroke history (PS), first-ever stroke with SBI [F-SBI(+)] and first-ever stroke without SBI [F-SBI(-)] were compared with Cox frailty model according to predetermined covariates. SBI subtypes; embolic-appearing pattern (EAP) and non-EAP, and SBI characteristics; size, numbers, and vascular territory involvements were assessed. Results: A total of 978 AF-AIS patients [27.5% PS, 29.1% F-SBI(+), 43.4% F-SBI(-)] were followed for 365 [348-374] days (median). Incidence of ischemic stroke recurrence in F-SBI(+) was higher than F-SBI(-), however, there was no significant difference compared to PS (p=0.860). Adjusted hazards for ischemic stroke recurrence and all kinds of stroke and TIA in F-SBI(+) were shown to be elevated [HR 3.87 (95% CI 1.53-9.16) and 2.60 (1.21-5.56)], and similar to PS [4.20 (1.73-10.24) and 2.90 (1.36-6.18)] when compared to F-SBI(-), respectively. Despite irrelevance in non-EAP SBI, a 4-fold increase of hazards in EAP SBI was observed [4.07 (1.63-10.13)]. Other SBI characteristics were not associated with outcomes. SBI and SBI features did not increase all-cause mortality. Conclusions: SBI and specifically, EAP SBI elevated stroke recurrence in AF-AIS patients as much prior stroke has increased the risk. Considering SBI to predict recurrence is suggested likewise prior stroke history is scored in AF thromboembolic risk estimation tools.

    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: 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: We aimed to evaluate covert brain infarction (CBI), frequently encountered during the diagnostic work-up of acute ischemic stroke, as a risk factor for stroke recurrence in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: For this prospective cohort study, from patients with acute ischemic stroke hospitalized at 14 centers between 2017 and 2019, we enrolled AF patients without history of stroke or transient ischemic attack and divided them into the CBI (+) and CBI (−) groups. The 2 groups were compared regarding the 1-year cumulative incidence of recurrent ischemic stroke and all-cause mortality using the Fine and Gray subdistribution hazard model with nonstroke death as a competing risk and the Cox frailty model, respectively. Each CBI lesion was also categorized into either embolic-appearing (EA) or non-EA pattern CBI. Adjusted hazard ratios and 95% CIs of any CBI, EA pattern CBI only, non-EA pattern CBI only, and both CBIs were estimated. Results: Among 1383 first-ever stroke patients with AF, 578 patients (41.8%) had CBI. Of these 578 with CBI, EA pattern CBI only, non-EA pattern CBI only, and both CBIs were 61.8% (n=357), 21.8% (n=126), and 16.4% (n=95), respectively. The estimated 1-year cumulative incidence of recurrent ischemic stroke was 5.2% and 1.9% in the CBI (+) and CBI (−) groups, respectively ( P =0.001 by Gray test). CBI increased the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke (adjusted hazard ratio [95% CI], 2.91 [1.44–5.88] ) but did not the risk of all-cause mortality (1.32 [0.97–1.80]). The EA pattern CBI only and both CBIs elevated the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke (2.76 [1.32–5.77] and 5.39 [2.25–12.91], respectively), while the non-EA pattern only did not (1.44 [0.40–5.16] ). Conclusions: Our study suggests that AF patients with CBI might have increased risk of recurrent stroke. CBI could be considered when estimating the stroke risk in patients with AF.

    Abstract 44: Impact Of Novel Oral Anticoagulant Use On Secular Trend Of Vascular Events Or Death After Atrial Fibrillation-related Acute Ischemic Stroke

    Abstract: Introduction: Now novel oral anticoagulants (NOAC) are strongly recommended for secondary stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, it remains unclear to what extent the introduction of NOACs improved clinical outcomes in real-world practice. Methods: Using a nationwide prospective multi-center stroke registry database, we identified consecutive AIS patients with AF enrolled between Jan 2011 and Dec 2019, and analyzed one-year clinical events and NOAC prescription at discharge. The primary outcome was the composite of stroke, myocardial infarction, and all-cause death. To assess the mediation effect of NOAC on the outcomes, we performed natural effect models according to the calendar year. The exposure-mediator analysis, exposure-outcome analysis, and mediator-outcome analysis were performed using multivariate regression analysis according to the characteristics of the variables. Results: We analyzed 12,500 patients (mean age, 74.4 years; 51.3% male; median NIHSS at presentation, 8). From 2011 to 2019, the cumulative one-year incidence of the primary composite outcome (28.3% to 22.1%), all-cause mortality (23.8% to 17.9%), and stroke recurrence (8.3% to 5.1%) significantly decreased, while the NOAC prescription rate at discharge increased (0% to 75.6%). One-year increase in the calendar year was independently associated with a delayed occurrence of primary composite outcomes (Step 1: adjusted Time Ratio (aTR), 1.10; 95% confidence interval, 1.07-1.14) and with an increased NOAC prescription rate (Step 2: adjusted odds ratio, 2.20; 2.14-2.27). Increase in the NOAC prescription rate was significantly associated with the delayed occurrence of primary composite outcome (Step 3: aTR, 3.80; 3.15-4.58). However, after controlling for the NOAC prescription rate (mediator), the calendar year was no longer associated with the primary composite outcomes. (Step 4: aTR, 0.78; 95% CI 0.60-1.03). Thus, our results indicate full mediation of NOAC prescription in the association between the calendar year and primary composite outcomes. Conclusion: The reduced risk of major vascular events or death over time in AIS patients with AF was fully mediated by the increase in NOAC use.

    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: This study compared the effectiveness of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with clopidogrel-aspirin with that of aspirin monotherapy (AM) in mild-to-moderate acute ischemic stroke considering the risk of recurrent stroke using the Stroke Prognosis Instrument II (SPI-II) score. Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of data from a prospective, nationwide, multicenter stroke registry database between January 2011 and July 2018. We included patients with mild-to-moderate (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≤10), acute (within 24 hours of onset), noncardioembolic ischemic stroke. The primary outcome was a 3-month composite of stroke (either hemorrhagic or ischemic), myocardial infarction, and all-cause mortality. Propensity scores using the inverse probability of treatment weighting method were used to mitigate baseline imbalances between the DAPT and AM groups and within each subgroup considering SPI-II scores. Results: Among the 15 430 patients (age, 66±13 years; men, 62.0%), 45.1% (n=6960) received DAPT and 54.9% (n=8470) received AM. Primary outcome events were significantly more frequent in the AM group (16.7%) than in the DAPT group (15.5%; P =0.03). Weighted Cox proportional hazards models showed a reduced risk of 3-month primary vascular events in the DAPT group versus the AM group (hazard ratio, 0.84 [0.78–0.92]; P 〈 0.001), with no interaction between acute treatment type and SPI-II risk subgroups ( P interaction =0.44). However, among the high-risk patients with SPI-II scores 〉 7, a substantially larger absolute benefit was observed for 3-month composite vascular events in the DAPT group (weighted absolute risk differences, 5.4%), whereas smaller absolute benefits were observed among patients in the low- or medium-risk SPI-II subgroups (1.7% and 2.4%, respectively). Conclusions: Treatment with clopidogrel-aspirin was associated with a reduction in 3-month vascular events compared with AM in mild-to-moderate acute noncardioembolic ischemic stroke patients. Larger magnitudes of the effects of DAPT with clopidogrel-aspirin were observed in the high-risk subgroup by SPI-II risk scores.
