E-086 The effect of covid-19 vaccines on stroke outcomes: a single-center study
ConclusionAlthough vaccination did not show any significant difference in stroke patient outcomes on follow-up, vaccines were associated with lower rates of morbidity and mortality at discharge among stroke patients during the pandemic.Abstract E-086 Table 1Comparison of outcomes between COVID-19-positive unvaccinated vs. fully vaccinated patients presenting with stroke.*Adjusted for hypertension, atrial fibrillation, PVD, admission NIHSS, ASPECTS, tandem occlusion, and thrombectomy Unvaccinated Vaccinated Effect Variable Unadjusted Value (95% CI ) Unadjusted p-value Adjusted Value (95% CI )* Adjusted p-value* Primary Out...

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...

E-145 Mortality following mechanical thrombectomy for ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19
ConclusionOverall, this study indicates that COVID-19 is a predictor of mortality among mechanical thrombectomy. This finding is likely multifactorial but may be related to multisystem inflammation, hypercoagulability, and re-occlusion seen in COVID-19 patients. Treatment-related factors, such as delays in care, may also play a role. Additional research would be needed to further delineate these findings.Disclosures J. Dallas: None. T. Wenger: None. K.

E-166 The effect of covid-19 on treatment and outcomes following ischemic stroke: a national assessment
ConclusionThis study identified a relationship between COVID-19 diagnosis and worse outcomes for each metric assessed. Most notably, even when controlling for disease-related factors, patients with COVID-19 were significantly less likely to undergo mechanical thrombectomy. Further, COVID-19 was associated with increased in-hospital mortality and worsened discharge disposition, although the exact causal relationship of this is unclear. Several factors might underly this, ranging from systemic/multisystem inflammation and worsened disease severity to logistical barriers to treatment caused by COVID-19. Further research is ne...

E-223 Improved time to diagnosis with portable MR imaging
ConclusionPortable MRI is a promising innovation with the aim to expand patient access and improve diagnostic times so that critical and potential lifesaving imaging diagnoses can be promptly treated with the urgency that is required. While initial analysis provides evidence that portable MRI has advantages over conventional MRI systems including workflow efficiency and improved patient imaging times, this will need to be compared to the unfortunate negative drawbacks of lessened image resolution and limited imaging sequences that come with the convenience of portable MRI systems. If the hypothesis is further corroborated,...

P-028 Impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the intracranial aneurysm treatment and associated outcomes: a propensity score matching study
Conclusions and RelevanceThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the healthcare system and has led to changes in the treatment of various neurological conditions, including ICAs. The pandemic resulted in a shift in the treatment of SAH and an increase in endovascular procedures over open surgical clipping. COVID-19 infection has been associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke and worsened outcomes for stroke patients. Further research is necessary to understand the long-term effects of the pandemic on the healthcare system and patient outcomes.Disclosures A. Ghaith: None. M. Ghanem: None. E. Greco: None....

Higher Hospital Frailty Risk Score is associated with increased complications and healthcare resource utilization after endovascular treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms
Conclusions Our study found that greater frailty as defined by the HFRS was associated with increased complications, LOS, total costs, and non-routine discharge.

Cerebral venous thrombosis after COVID-19 vaccination: the role for endovascular treatment
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a unique cause of stroke. Population-based studies demonstrate an incidence of clinically significant CVT of 1.3–1.5 per 100 000 per year.1 2 This may be an underestimated incidence, as these studies were not based on review of imaging and the often benign nature of this entity may lead to underdiagnoses. In the JNIS paper published by Cleaver et al,3 the authors describe their experience with endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in patients following COVID-19 vaccination. CVT-related stroke primarily affects young adult and middle-aged pat...

E-070 The use of inpatient virtual shared medical appointments for patients with acute cerebrovascular pathologies and their caregivers: a pilot study to improve health literacy, patient self-efficacy and reduce provider burnout
ConclusionsImplementation of a vSMA program at a tertiary care center during a pandemic was feasible. Themes caregivers expressed on the post-survey included better understanding of caring for a stroke patient, and coping with the unpredictability of a patient’s prognosis. The pandemic has precipitated shifts towards telehealth, but our study highlights the importance of avoiding marginalization of the elderly and less technologically inclined populations.Tables to be presented:Abstract E-070 Table 1Inclusion and exclusion criteriaAbstract E-070 Table 2Characteristics of Study ParticipantsAbstract E-070 Table 3Patien...

E-089 Changes in mechanical thrombectomy incidence rate at a comprehensive stroke center before and after Covid-19 shutdown
ConclusionThere appears to be a 3-fold decrease in MT presenting to the emergency department at our institution since the COVID-19 shutdown while ‘drip and shipped’ and in-patient admits have increased slightly. For patients admitted to the emergency department, there was a statistically significant ~25-minute increased arrival-to-puncture time after COVID-19 shutdowns. Further monitoring of presentation over the next year as the pandemic wanes will be revealing to any lasting impact on patient triage and treatment based on the COVID-19 pandemic.Disclosures B.

ConclusionCOVID-19 was an independent predictor of incomplete revascularization and poor outcomes in patients with stroke due to LVO.
