Stroke patterns and outcomes during the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic: a cross-sectional study

CONCLUSION: The factors that cause the delayed transfer to the hospital and onset of treatment should be addressed. Patient counseling about the likely prognosis can be done after evaluating the probable outcome based on the NIHSS score and median duration of hospital stay. Nevertheless, mechanisms should be developed to reduce the prehospital delay at the ground level as well as at the policy level.PMID:37363610 | PMC:PMC10289718 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000000722
