Characteristics and comparisons of acute stroke in “recovered & quot; to “active COVID-19 and “pre-pandemic” in Qatar database
AbstractUnderstanding the relationship of COVID-19 to stroke is important. We compare characteristics of pre-pandemic stroke (PPS), cases in acute COVID infection (CS) and in patients who have recovered from COVID-19 infection (RCS). We interrogated the Qatar stroke database for all stroke admissions between Jan 2020 and Feb 2021 (PPS) to CS and RCS to determine how COVID-19 affected ischemic stroke sub-types, clinical course, and outcomes prior to, during and post-pandemic peak. There were 3264 cases admitted (pre-pandemic: 3111, stroke in COVID-19: 60 and recovered COVID-19 stroke: 93). Patients with CS were significantl...

Computed Tomography Abnormalities and Epidemiology of Adult Patients Presenting With First Seizure to the Emergency Department in Qatar / Epidemiología y Alteraciones en la Tomografía Computarizada de los Pacientes Adultos Atendidos por una Primera Crisis Epiléptica en un Servicio de Urgencias en Qatar.
ConclusionsAdults who presented with first seizure to the ED in Qatar had a young male predominance, and a high proportion of brain CT scans were reported as abnormal. It is recommended that all such patients in this population should undergo prompt CT scanning in the ED, but the utility of routine electrolyte tests requires further investigation. Resumen ObjetivosExisten poco datos de la región del Medio Este del mundo en pacientes atendidos con una primera crisis epiléptica.
