E-129 Trends in demographic and geographic disparities of stroke-related mortality in older adults in the United States from 1999 to 2020
Stroke is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the United States. Many risk factors are controversial, and their relative importance is not fully understood. Elucidating the association between demographic and geographic disparities and stroke-related mortality in older adults will guide policy to alleviate stroke burden. This retrospective cohort study characterizes stroke-related mortality among individuals aged 55 and older in the United States from January 1999 to December 2020 using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Wide-Ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research database. Segmented regressio...

COVID-19 meets neurointervention on the pages of JNIS
As 2019 came to a close, a novel B-coronavirus, labeled by the World Health Organization as COVID-19, was noted to be spreading in China.1 The COVID-19 virus is an enveloped single-strand, positive-sense RNA, which means that the virus can use its RNA as the template from which to create proteins needed for propagation and, ultimately, spread. The name coronavirus refers to the characteristic crown-like appearance of these viruses that is seen on electron microscopy. By spring 2020, COVID-19 was spreading rapidly throughout the United States and Europe, and neurointerventionalists soon found themselves on the frontline.2 T...
