The Burden of Stroke Mimics: Present and Future Projections
An increasing proportion of patients presenting with suspected stroke prove to have other conditions, often referred to as stroke mimics. The aim of this study was to present a projection of the number of hospitalized strokes, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), and stroke mimics in Norway up to the year 2050 based on expected demographic changes, to estimate the burden of stroke mimics in the coming decades.

Decompressive hemicraniectomy for space-occupying brain infarction: Nationwide population-based registry study
We analyzed data from the Norwegian Stroke Registry (NSR) to study access to and outcomes of decompressive hemicraniectomy for brain infarction in a nationwide routine clinical setting. We also discretionary assessed whether the outcomes were comparable with those achieved in randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and whether the use was in accordance with guidelines.

Response to Letter to the Editor
We thank the authors for their interest in our article and the thoughtful comments. As they correctly point out, the association between the first vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCov -19 vaccine and the described symptoms in our article does not prove any causality. However, cutaneous hemorrhages and headaches were frequently reported side effects after vaccination with ChAdOx1 nCov-19 in the Norwegian corona study cohort in young and previously healthy subjects. In lack of previous experience, there was a fear that these symptoms may have represented a mild form of VITT.
