    Abstract: Observational data suggest that antiplatelet therapy after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) alleviates thromboembolic risk without increasing the risk of recurrent ICH. Given the paucity of data on the relationship between antiplatelet therapy after ICH and functional outcomes, we aimed to study this association in a multicenter cohort. Methods— We meta-analyzed data from (1) the Massachusetts General Hospital ICH registry (n=1854), (2) the Virtual International Stroke Trials Archive database (n=762), and (3) the Yale stroke registry (n=185). Our exposure was antiplatelet therapy after ICH, which was modeled as a time-varying covariate. Our primary outcomes were all-cause mortality and a composite of major disability or death (modified Rankin Scale score 4–6). We used Cox proportional regression analyses to estimate the hazard ratio of death or poor functional outcome as a function of antiplatelet therapy and random-effects meta-analysis to pool the estimated HRs across studies. Additional analyses stratified by hematoma location (lobar and deep ICH) were performed. Results— We included a total of 2801 ICH patients, of whom 288 (10.3%) were started on antiplatelet medications after ICH. Median times to antiplatelet therapy ranged from 7 to 39 days. Antiplatelet therapy after ICH was not associated with mortality (hazard ratio, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.66–1.09), or death or major disability (hazard ratio, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.59–1.16) compared with patients not started on antiplatelet therapy. Similar results were obtained in additional analyses stratified by hematoma location. Conclusions— Antiplatelet therapy after ICH appeared safe and was not associated with all-cause mortality or functional outcome, regardless of hematoma location. Randomized clinical trials are needed to determine the effects and harms of antiplatelet therapy after ICH.

    Abstract: The rate of spinal cord infarction (SCI) after surgical or endovascular repair of an aortic aneurysm or dissection is unclear. Methods— Using administrative claims data, we identified adult patients discharged from nonfederal acute care hospitals in California, New York, and Florida who underwent surgical or endovascular repair of an aortic aneurysm or dissection between 2005 and 2013. Patients with SCI diagnosed before the aortic repair were excluded. Our primary outcome was an SCI during the index hospitalization for aortic repair. Descriptive statistics were used to estimate crude rates of SCI. Analyses were stratified by whether the aneurysm or dissection had ruptured and by type of repair (surgical versus endovascular). Results— We identified 91 212 patients who had repair of an aortic aneurysm or dissection. SCI occurred in 235 cases (0.26%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.22%–0.29%). In patients with ruptured aneurysm or dissection, the rate of SCI was 0.74% (95% CI, 0.60%–0.88%) compared with 0.16% (95% CI, 0.13%–0.19%) with unruptured aneurysm. In secondary analyses, rates of SCI were similar after endovascular repair (0.91%; 95% CI, 0.62%–1.19%) compared with surgical repair (0.68%; 95% CI, 0.53%–0.83%; P =0.147) of ruptured aortic aneurysm or dissection; however, rates of SCI were higher after surgical repair (0.20%; 95% CI, 0.15%–0.25%) versus endovascular repair (0.11%; 95% CI, 0.08%–0.14%; P 〈 0.001) of unruptured aneurysm. Conclusions— SCI occurs in ≈1 in 130 patients undergoing aortic dissection or ruptured aortic aneurysm repair and in 1 in 600 patients undergoing unruptured aortic aneurysm repair.

    Abstract: Introduction: Dissection of a cervical artery has been well described as a cause of ischemic stroke in the young. The role of dissection as a cause of stroke among older adults is less clear, but there are no obvious reasons why older patients would have less of a predisposition to dissection than younger patients. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the incidence of dissection-related ischemic stroke would remain constant across age. Methods: We used inpatient discharge data included in the 2012-2015 releases of the National Inpatient Survey (NIS). We used previously validated ICD-9-CM codes to identify adults who were hospitalized with ischemic stroke and a concomitant diagnosis of either carotid- or vertebral-artery dissection. We compared the prevalence of concomitant dissection among stroke hospitalizations across patient subgroups defined by age. Survey weights provided by the NIS were used to calculate nationally representative estimates. Population estimates from the U.S. census were used to calculate the incidence of hospitalization with stroke and concomitant dissection per million person-years. Results: From 2012-2015, there were 17,325 hospitalizations with ischemic stroke and a concomitant dissection in the US. The prevalence of cervical-artery dissection among stroke hospitalizations was highest among those under 40 years of age and gradually decreased across increasing 10-year age intervals (Figure 1A). On the other hand, the overall incidence of hospitalization for stroke and concomitant dissection increased with increasing age (Figure 1B). Conclusions: In a nationally representative sample, we found that cervical-artery dissection accounts for a greater proportion of ischemic strokes among younger patients, but the absolute incidence of dissection-related stroke increases with age.

    Abstract: Background: Evidence of visceral infarction is often found in patients with acute ischemic stroke, and appears to be more common among patients with embolic stroke subtypes. It remains uncertain whether there exists a relationship between visceral infarction and functional outcomes among patients with stroke. Methods: Among patients with acute ischemic stroke enrolled in the Cornell AcutE Stroke Academic Registry (CAESAR) from 2011 through 2016, we included those with a contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomographic scan within 1 year of admission. Our outcome was ambulatory status at discharge from the acute stroke hospitalization, defined as walking without assistance, walking with assistance, and unable to walk. We used ordinal logistic regression to examine the association between visceral infarction and discharge ambulatory status after adjustment for demographics, stroke risk factors, stroke severity (NIH Stroke Scale score) and stroke subtype. Results: Among 2,116 ischemic stroke patients registered in CAESAR from 2011-2016, 228 had contrast-enhanced abdominopelvic computed tomographic imaging, of whom 40 (18%) had evidence of visceral infarction. Among the 188 patients without visceral infarction, 125 (66%) patients were discharged walking without assistance, 34 (18%) patients could walk with assistance, and 29 (15%) patients could not walk. In comparison, among the 40 patients with visceral infarction, 18 (45%) patients were discharged walking without assistance, 9 (23%) patients could walk with assistance, and 13 (33%) patients could not walk. After adjustment for demographics, stroke risk factors, stroke severity and stroke subtype, the presence of visceral infarction was associated with a worse ambulatory status (global OR for better ambulatory status, 0.3; 95% CI, 0.1-0.8). Conclusions: We found that the presence of visceral infarction, which is often incidentally detected on imaging among stroke patients, was associated with poor functional outcomes at the time of hospital discharge. These findings suggest that such incidental findings are not benign and are at the least a marker of poor outcomes.

    Abstract: To evaluate whether patients discharged to home after an emergency department (ED) visit for headache face a heightened short‐term risk of stroke. Background Stroke hospitalizations that occur soon after ED visits for headache complaints may reflect diagnostic error. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using statewide administrative claims data for all ED visits and admissions at nonfederal hospitals in Florida 2005–2018 and New York 2005–2016. Using standard International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes, we identified adult patients discharged to home from the ED (treat‐and‐release visit) with a benign headache diagnosis (cohort of interest) as well as those with a diagnosis of renal colic or back pain (negative controls). The primary study outcome was hospitalization within 30 days for stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) defined using validated ICD codes. We assess the relationship between index ED visit discharge diagnosis and stroke hospitalization adjusting for patient demographics and vascular comorbidities. Results We identified 1,502,831 patients with an ED treat‐and‐release headache visit; mean age was 41 (standard deviation: 17) years and 1,044,520 (70%) were female. A total of 2150 (0.14%) patients with headache were hospitalized for stroke within 30 days. In adjusted analysis, stroke risk was higher after headache compared to renal colic (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.69; 95% confidence interval [CI] : 2.29–3.16) or back pain (HR: 4.0; 95% CI: 3.74–4.3). In the subgroup of 26,714 (1.78%) patients with headache who received brain magnetic resonance imaging at index ED visit, stroke risk was only slightly elevated compared to renal colic (HR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.22–1.78) or back pain (HR: 1.49; 95% CI: 1.24–1.80). Conclusion Approximately 1 in 700 patients discharged to home from the ED with a headache diagnosis had a stroke in the following month. Stroke risk was three to four times higher after an ED visit for headache compared to renal colic or back pain.

    Abstract: The risk of arterial ischemic events after subdural hemorrhage (SDH) is poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of acute ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction among patients with and without nontraumatic SDH. Methods— We performed a retrospective cohort study using claims data from 2008 through 2014 from a nationally representative sample of Medicare beneficiaries. The exposure was nontraumatic SDH. Our primary outcome was an arterial ischemic event, a composite of acute ischemic stroke and acute myocardial infarction. Secondary outcomes were ischemic stroke alone and myocardial infarction alone. We used validated International Classification of Diseases , Ninth Revision , Clinical Modification diagnosis codes to identify our predictor and outcomes. Using Cox regression and corresponding survival probabilities, adjusted for demographics and vascular comorbidities, we computed the hazard ratio in 4-week intervals after SDH discharge. We performed secondary analyses stratified by strong indications for antithrombotic therapy (composite of atrial fibrillation, peripheral vascular disease, valvular heart disease, and venous thromboembolism). Results— Among 1.7 million Medicare beneficiaries, 2939 were diagnosed with SDH. In the 4 weeks after SDH, patients’ risk of an arterial ischemic event was substantially increased (hazard ratio, 3.6 [95% CI, 1.9–5.5]). There was no association between SDH diagnosis and arterial ischemic events beyond 4 weeks. In secondary analysis, during the 4 weeks after SDH, patients’ risk of ischemic stroke was increased (hazard ratio, 4.2 [95% CI, 2.1–7.3] ) but their risk of myocardial infarction was not (hazard ratio, 0.8 [95% CI, 0.2–1.7]). Patients with strong indications for antithrombotic therapy had increased risks for arterial ischemic events similar to patients in the primary analysis, but those without such indications did not demonstrate an increased risk for arterial ischemic events. Conclusions— Among Medicare beneficiaries, we found a heightened risk of arterial ischemic events driven by an increased risk of ischemic stroke, in the 4 weeks after nontraumatic SDH. This increased risk may be due to interruption of antithrombotic therapy after SDH diagnosis.
