Approximately 11,000 Veterans present to a VAMC annually with an acute ischemic stroke or TIA. The cornerstone of secondary stroke/TIA prevention includes delivering timely, guideline-concordant vascular risk factor management. Over the past decade, OSA has been recognized as a potent, underdiagnosed, and inadequately treated cerebrovascular risk factor. OSA is very common among patients with stroke/TIA with a prevalence of 70-80%. Despite being highly prevalent, 70-80% of patients with OSA are neither diagnosed nor treated. Untreated OSA has been associated with poor outcomes among patients with cerebrovascular disease including higher mortality and worse functional status. The mainstay of OSA therapy is positive airway pressure (PAP). PAP reduces recurrent vascular events, improves neurological symptoms and functional status among stroke/TIA patients with OSA. The evidence favoring neurological recovery is strongest when interventions are applied early post-stroke/TIA. Guidelines recommend diagnosing and treating OSA for stroke and TIA patients; however, within VHA, very few stroke or TIA patients receive OSA screening. This guideline recommendation was informed in part by clinical trials utilizing an acute OSA assessment protocol developed and implemented by the investigators' group. To address the observed gap in care, the investigators propose a Hybrid Type I, randomized, stepped-wedge trial at 6 VAMCs to increase the rate of timely, guideline-concordant diagnosis and treatment of OSA among Veterans with ischemic stroke/TIA and thereby reduce recurrent vascular events and hospital readmissions. The investigators will identify matched control sites for each ASAP implementation site to examine temporal trends in outcomes among non-intervention sites. For example, the investigators will use administrative data to examine the use of polysomnography across stroke/TIA patients in the VA system and compare changes in matched controls versus the intervention sites on the diagnostic rate. The same adjustment approach will be used for ASAP intervention sites and for control sites. Effectively identifying and treating risk factors for ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA) is important to patients, their family members, and healthcare systems. While obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a known risk factor for stroke and TIA that is present in more than 70% of stroke/TIA survivors, testing for OSA is infrequently performed for patients and within healthcare systems. The Addressing Sleep Apnea Post-Stroke/TIA (ASAP) study intends to improve rates of guideline-recommended OSA testing and treatment through local quality improvement initiatives (QI) conducted within and across 6 VA Medical Centers. ASAP will also determine the impact of these local QI initiatives on rates of OSA diagnosis, OSA treatment, treatment adherence, recurrent vascular events, and hospital readmissions.

Data and code necessary to replicate the findings from the manuscript titled "Hydrology and trophic flexibility structure alpine stream food webs in the Teton Range, Wyoming, USA". Abstract: Understanding biotic interactions and how they vary across habitats is important for assessing the vulnerability of communities to climate change. Receding glaciers in high mountain areas can lead to the hydrologic homogenization of streams and reduce habitat heterogeneity, which are predicted to drive declines in regional diversity and imperil endemic species. However, little is known about food web structure in alpine stream habitats, particularly among streams fed by different hydrologic sources (e.g., glaciers or snowfields). We used gut content and stable isotope analyses to characterize food web structure of alpine macroinvertebrate communities in streams fed by glaciers, subterranean ice, and seasonal snowpack in the Teton Range, Wyoming, USA. Specifically, we sought to: (1) assess community resource use among streams fed by different hydrologic sources; (2) explore how variability in resource use relates to feeding strategies; and (3) identify which environmental variables influenced resource use within communities. Average taxa diet differed among all hydrologic sources, and food webs in subterranean ice-fed streams were largely supported by the gold alga Hydrurus. This finding bolsters a hypothesis that streams fed by subterranean ice may provide key habitat for cold-water species under climate change by maintaining a longer growing season for this high-quality food resource. While a range of environmental variables associated with hydrologic source (e.g., stream temperature) were related to diet composition, hydrologic source categories explained the most variation in diet composition models. Less variable diets within versus among streams suggests high trophic flexibility, which was further supported by high levels of omnivory. This inherent trophic flexibility may bolster alpine stream communities against future changes in resource availability as the mountain cryosphere fades. Ultimately, our results expand understanding of the habitat requirements for imperiled alpine taxa while empowering predictions of their vulnerability under climate change.
