    Abstract: The treatment and prognosis of acute large vessel occlusion with mild symptoms have not been sufficiently studied. The present study aimed to investigate the clinical or radiological predictors of clinical outcome in patients with stroke with mild symptoms due to acute large vessel occlusion. Methods— Of 2420 patients with acute large vessel occlusion in the RESCUE-Japan Registry 2 (Recovery by Endovascular Salvage for Cerebral Ultra-Acute Embolism-Japan Registry 2), a multicenter prospective registry in Japan, patients with modified Rankin Scale scores of 0 to 2 before onset and initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores of 0 to 5 were examined in post hoc analysis. We examined the clinical and radiological characteristics associated with a favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale score, 0–2 at 90 days) using multivariate analysis, as well as the factors associated with a favorable outcome in patients treated with endovascular therapy. Results— We analyzed 272 patients (median age, 73 years; median NIHSS score on admission, 3). Eighty-six (31.6%) patients were treated with intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator, 54 (19.9%) underwent endovascular therapy, and 208 (76.5%) showed a favorable outcome. In multivariate analysis, age 〈 75 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.42 [95% CI, 1.30–4.50] ), initial NIHSS score 0 to 3 (OR, 3.08 [95% CI, 1.59–5.98]), intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (OR, 2. 86 [95% CI, 1.32–6.21] ), and blood glucose level ≤140 mg/dL (OR, 2.37 [95% CI, 1.22–4.60]) were independently associated with a favorable outcome. However, endovascular therapy was not associated with a favorable outcome (OR, 1.65 [95% CI, 0.71–3.88] ). Among 54 patients treated with endovascular therapy, good reperfusion status was more common in the favorable outcome group (88.6% versus 60.0%; P 〈 0.05). Conclusions— Younger age, lower initial NIHSS score, intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator, and absence of hyperglycemia were independently associated with a favorable outcome in patients with acute large vessel occlusion with low NIHSS scores.

    Abstract: Endovascular therapy (EVT) is strongly recommended for acute cerebral large vessel occlusion with the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) ≥6 due to occlusion of the internal carotid artery or M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery. However, the effect of EVT for patients who have ischemic core with ASPECTS ≤5 (0–5) was not established. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the outcomes of EVT for patients with large ischemic core. Methods— Based on the data of The Recovery by Endovascular Salvage for Cerebral Ultra-Acute Embolism Japan Registry 2, patients with internal carotid artery or M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery occlusion and pretreatment ASPECTS 0 to 5 on noncontrast CT or diffusion-weighted image were extracted, and the outcomes by EVT were analyzed. Primary end point was defined as a good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of ≤2) after 90 days. Result— Among 2420 registered patients, 504 patients were with internal carotid artery or M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery occlusion and ASPECTS 0 to 5. Among these 504 patients, 172 (34.1 %) were treated with EVT (EVT group) and 332 (65.9 %) without (no-EVT group). In the no-EVT group, elderly patients, females, poor prestroke modified Rankin Scale, high National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, low ASPECTS, and late admission were significantly more observed. Good functional outcomes were significantly more observed in the EVT group than in the no-EVT group (19.8 % versus 4.2 %; P 〈 0.0001; adjusted odds ratio, 2.33; 95% CI, 1.10–4.94). The incidences of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 72 hours did not significantly different between the EVT group and the no-EVT group (3.7 % versus 4.9%; P =0.55; adjusted odds ratio, 0.50; 95% CI, 0.14–1.73). Conclusions— Although outcomes in this group of patients were usually poor, the data suggested EVT may increase the likelihood of a good functional outcome.

    Abstract: Background and Purpose: School-based programs of stroke enlightenment would be promising means to improve prevention of stroke as well as to spread the knowledge of stroke. Junior high school education is compulsory in Japan. We developed an educational system of stroke for junior high school students and teachers. Our purpose is to verify the effectiveness of this educational system to acquire knowledge of stroke for junior high school educations. Methods: Subjects were 100 students in the 3 rd grade of a public junior high school (40 girls, 14-15 years old). A stroke neurologist gave 45 minutes’ lesson in stroke to 25 students (S group) and 1 schoolteacher of health education by use of our educational system. A stroke neurologist also performed instructions to the schoolteacher how to use our stroke educational system to the students. The system includes stroke signs, symptoms, the FAST massage (Facial droop, Arm weakness, Speech disturbance, Time to call 119) and risk factors. After instructions by the stroke neurologist, the schoolteacher performed the lesson using the same educational system to the other 75 students (T group). Questionnaires on stroke knowledge (total 12 items for stroke signs and 10 items for risk factors) were examined for all students at the baseline and immediately after the lesson. Results: The total scores were not significantly different between the 2 groups either at the baseline or immediately after the lesson. In the S group, the items of correct answers on stroke signs[median 11(IQR 8-11) vs. 6(6-8.5) , P 〈 0.001 ]and stroke risk factors [9(8-9) vs. 7(5-7.5), P 〈 0.001] significantly increased after the lesson than at baseline. In the T group, the items of correct answers on stroke signs [10(8-11) vs. 7(6-9), P 〈 0.001 ]and stroke risk factors [8(7-10) vs. 7(6-8); P 〈 0.001]also significantly increased. On the FAST massage, there is no significant difference between 2 groups (73% vs. 92%; P=0.056). Conclusions: The stroke education program using our educational system would be promising means for junior high school educations.

    Abstract: Early reperfusion after endovascular thrombectomy is associated with an improved outcome in ischemic stroke patients; however, the time dependency in elderly patients remains unclear. We investigated the time–outcome relationships in different age subgroups. Of 2420 patients enrolled in the RESCUE-Japan Registry 2 study, a study based on a prospective registry of stroke patients with acute cerebral large-vessel occlusion at 46 centers, we analyzed the data of 1010 patients with successful reperfusion after endovascular therapy (mTICI of 2b or 3). In 3 age subgroups ( 〈  70, 70 to 〈  80, and ≥ 80 years), the mRS scores at 90 days were analyzed according to 4 categories of onset-to-reperfusion time ( 〈  180, 180 to 〈  240, 240 to 〈  300, and ≥ 300 min). In each age subgroup, the distributions of mRS scores were better with shorter onset-to-reperfusion times. The adjusted common odds ratios for better outcomes per 1-category delay in onset-to-reperfusion time were 0.66 (95% CI 0.55–0.80) in ages  〈  70 years, 0.66 (95% CI 0.56–0.79) in ages 70 to  〈  80 years, and 0.83 (95% CI 0.70–0.98) in ages ≥ 80 years. Early reperfusion was associated with better outcomes across all age subgroups. Achieving early successful reperfusion is important even in elderly patients.

    Abstract: Statins have been associated with reduced recurrence and better functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, the effect of statins in patients with acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) is not well scrutinized. Methods and Results RESCUE (Recovery by Endovascular Salvage for Cerebral Ultra‐Acute Embolism)‐Japan Registry 2, a physician‐initiated registry, enrolled 2420 consecutive patients with acute LVO who were admitted to 46 centers across Japan within 24 hours of onset. We compared patients with and without statin use after acute LVO onset (statin group and nonstatin group, respectively) in terms of the modified Rankin scale at 90 days. We estimated that the odds ratios for the primary outcome was modified Rankin scale and we estimated the odds ratios for a 1‐scale lower modified Rankin scale adjusting for confounders. After excluding 12 patients without LVO and 9 patients without follow‐up, the mean age of 2399 patients was 75.9 years; men accounted for 55% of patients. Statins were administered to 447 (19%) patients after acute LVO onset. Patients in the statin group had more atherothrombotic cerebral infarctions (34.2% versus 12.1%, P 〈 0.0001), younger age (73.4 years versus 76.5 years, P 〈 0.0001), and lower median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale on admission (14 versus 17, P 〈 0.0001) than the nonstatin group. The adjusted common OR of the statin group for lower modified Rankin scale was 1.29 (95% CI, 1.04–1.37; P =0.02). The mortality at 90 days was lower in the statin group (4.7%) than the nonstatin group (12.5%; P 〈 0.0001). The adjusted OR of the statin group relative to the nonstatin group for mortality was 0.36 (95% CI, 0.21–0.62; P =0.02). Conclusions Statin administration after acute LVO onset is significantly associated with better functional outcome and mortality at 90 days.

    Abstract: Endovascular therapy has been shown to be effective in patients with acute cerebral large‐vessel occlusion, but real‐world efficacies are unknown. Methods and Results We conducted a prospective registry at 46 centers between October 2014 and January 2017. Eligible patients were those who were aged 20 years or older, with acute cerebral large‐vessel occlusion, and who were hospitalized within 24 hours of the onset. We enrolled both consecutive patients who were treated with or without endovascular therapy. Endovascular therapy included thrombectomy, balloon angioplasty, stenting, local fibrinolysis, and piercing. The primary outcome was a favorable outcome as defined by a modified Rankin Scale of 0 to 2 at 90 days after onset. Secondary outcomes were modified Rankin Scale of 0 to 1 and mortality. Safety outcomes were intracerebral hemorrhage or a recurrence of ischemic stroke. We constructed the 2242 (1121 each) propensity score–matched patients cohort based on a propensity score for endovascular therapy and estimated the adjusted odds ratio, followed by sensitivity analyses on original 2399 (1278 in endovascular therapy versus 1121 in no endovascular therapy) patients. In the propensity score–matched cohort, favorable outcomes were observed in 35.3% and 30.7% of patients in the endovascular therapy and no endovascular therapy groups, respectively ( P= 0.02). The adjusted odds ratio for the favorable outcome was 1.44 (95% confidence interval, 1.10–1.86, P =0.007). The efficacy of endovascular therapy in achieving favorable outcomes did not differ between our subgroups and in the sensitivity analyses. Conclusions Endovascular therapy decreased disabilities at 90 days in real‐world patients with acute cerebral large‐vessel occlusion. Clinical Trial Registration URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

    Abstract: The “1-3-6-12-day rule” for starting direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation after acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack recommends timings that may be later than used in clinical practice. We investigated more practical optimal timing of DOAC initiation according to stroke severity. Methods: The combined data of prospective registries in Japan, Stroke Acute Management with Urgent Risk-factor Assessment and Improvement-nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (September 2011 to March 2014) and RELAXED (February 2014 to April 2016) were used. Patients were divided into transient ischemic attack and 3 stroke subgroups by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score: mild (0–7), moderate (8–15), and severe (≥16). The early treatment group was defined as patients starting DOACs earlier than the median initiation day in each subgroup. Outcomes included a composite of recurrent stroke or systemic embolism, ischemic stroke, and severe bleeding within 90 days. Six European prospective registries were used for validation. Results: In the 1797 derivation cohort patients, DOACs were started at median 2 days after transient ischemic attack and 3, 4, and 5 days after mild, moderate, and severe strokes, respectively. Stroke or systemic embolism was less common in Early Group (n=785)—initiating DOACS within 1, 2, 3, and 4 days, respectively—than Late Group (n=1012) (1.9% versus 3.9%; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.50 [95% CI, 0.27–0.89]), as was ischemic stroke (1.7% versus 3.2%, 0.54 [0.27–0.999] ). Major bleeding was similarly common in the 2 groups (0.8% versus 1.0%). On validation, both ischemic stroke (2.4% versus 2.2%) and intracranial hemorrhage (0.2% versus 0.6%) were similarly common in Early (n=547) and Late (n=1483) Groups defined using derivation data. Conclusions: In Japanese and European populations, early DOAC initiation within 1, 2, 3, or 4 days according to stroke severity seemed to be feasible to decrease the risk of recurrent stroke or systemic embolism and no increase in major bleeding. These findings support ongoing randomized trials to better establish the optimal timing of DOAC initiation.

    Abstract: Background and Purpose: We have reported that stroke lesson by stroke neurologists for junior high school students improved their stroke knowledge. For the next step, we investigated whether junior high school students could get the knowledge only by stroke education with a comic book and animated cartoon, which we produced to spread the stroke knowledge widely. Methods: We produce a comic book and a 10-minutes animated cartoon instructing stroke risk factors, stroke sign and symptoms, and encouraging immediate calling for emergent medical service (EMS) on identification of stroke signs and symptoms (the FAST message). Three stories were involved in this comic book and animated cartoon. The first one was a case of acute ischemic stroke treated successfully with hyperacute thrombolytic therapy. The remaining 2 stories were cases of transient ischemic attack; a case of preventing stroke successfully with an appropriate action of his family, but the other case of suffering from a completed stroke with delay of the hospital visit due to the lack of stroke symptom knowledge. From December 2011 to March 2012, 493 students in 15 classes of the 1 st grade (12 - 13 years old) of 3 junior high schools were enrolled. Each subject was distributed the comic book and watched the animated cartoon. Stroke lessons were not performed. Questionnaires on stroke knowledge were examined before, immediately after, and 3 months after the intervention. Results: Proportions of correct answer in all questions except arrhythmia were significantly higher immediately after the intervention than at baseline. At 3 month, higher proportions of correct answer for facial palsy, speech disturbance, hemiplegia, numbness of one side, calling 119 for stroke, alcohol drinking, smoking, and obesity were preserved as compared with those at baseline;75% vs. 33%, 91% vs. 60%, 79% vs. 52%, 58% vs. 51%, 79% vs. 52%, 90% vs. 85%, 96% vs.72%, 69% vs.54%, 35% vs.22%, respectively (p 〈 0.05). Fifty six percentages of students answered correctly the FAST message. Conclusions: Stroke education by using our homemade comic book and animated cartoon improved knowledge about stroke among junior high school students.
