P.061 How neurologists screen for occult cancer in acute ischemic stroke

Background: People with acute ischemic stroke (IS) have a higher prevalence of occult malignancy. Consensus is lacking, however, on the extent cancer screening tests that should be offered in this population. We performed single-center study to review curent practices IS. Methods: reviewed consecutive admissions for IS at our institution between January and December 2020. defined extensive as i) investigation test falling outside Canadian guidelines, or ii) any chest, abdomen pelvis imaging by CT, TEP/CT ultrasound. compared clinical features people without Fisher Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: Among 171 patients IS, 11 (6.4%) underwent screening. A lower BMI was only feature associated (p=0.013). Markers were not included age (p=0.479), male sex (p=0.758), cryptogenic etiology (p=1.000), infarctions multiple vascular territories (p=0.748), hemoglobin (p=0.505), fibrinogen (p=0.162) C-reactive protein (p=0.442). Conclusions: Common predictors more small sample Validated prediction models may help clinicians guide investigations
