Inpatient virtual shared medical appointments to improve health literacy, increase patient self-efficacy, and reduce provider burnout in acute cerebrovascular pathology patients and their caregivers: a pilot study
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of a vSMA program at a tertiary care center during a pandemic was feasible. Themes caregivers expressed on the postsession 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 toward telehealth, but this study highlights the importance of avoiding marginalization of elderly and less technologically inclined populations.PMID:35921191 | DOI:10.3171/2022.4.FOCUS21764

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.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Volume of Acute Stroke Admissions: A Nationwide Survey in Japan
In conclusion, the acute stroke admission volume declined by 2.51% in 2020 relative to 2019 in Japan, especially during the months of high infection, and in highly infected prefectures. Overwhelmed healthcare systems and infection control practices may have been associated with the decline in the stroke admission volume during the COVID-19 pandemic.PMID:35753763 | DOI:10.2176/jns-nmc.2022-0099
