Caregiver experiences of social support following stroke
The burgeoning public health concern of caregiving influences lives of many people.1 Informal caregivers are loved ones who are not paid for services they provide to the person needing assistance,2 most often family members or close friends. In the U.S. there are over 53 million informal caregivers.3 Caregivers can support the care recipient in different activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).

Original Article: Increased Stroke Severity and Mortality in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Analysis from the N3C Database
Studies from early in the COVID-19 pandemic showed that patients with ischemic stroke and concurrent SARS-CoV-2 infection had increased stroke severity. We aimed to test the hypothesis that this association persisted throughout the first year of the pandemic and that a similar increase in stroke severity was present in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.

Association of baseline frailty status with clinical outcome following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is an emergent neurosurgical condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. The prognostic significance of baseline frailty status in aSAH patients has not been previously evaluated in a large, nationally representative sample.

Type of admission is associated with outcome of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage
ConclusionsSpontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage patients admitted directly to our comprehensive stroke center showed less complications compared to those transferred from general hospitals. This improvement was independent of time to treatment. Additional research in multiple centers using prospective analysis should be conducted to confirm that preferential direct transport to a comprehensive stroke center would likely yield considerable improvements in public health.
