Hospital Discharge and Readmissions Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic for California Acute Stroke Inpatients
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability in the United States, with approximately 795,000 new strokes occurring annually, including acute ischemic stroke (AIS), intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).1 The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted all levels of care for stroke patients, such as delays in initial presentation, reduction in acute therapies, limitations of in-patient resources, delays or lack of initiation of secondary stroke prevention therapy, and limitations in rehabilitation services after hospital discharge.

Patient Characteristics and Outcomes Associated with Decline in Stroke Volumes during the Early COVID-19 Pandemic
Recent studies have documented a decrease in evaluations of stroke patients during the early weeks of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in the United States (US).1 –4 This phenomenon raises concern that delays in emergent treatment and implementation of secondary stroke prevention measures may contribute to the morbidity and mortality of the pandemic. As a second wave of COVID-19 sweeps through the country, there is an urgent need for public health communica tion that targets populations most likely to delay evaluation for stroke-like symptoms.

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...

Preserving Access: A Review of Stroke Thrombectomy during the COVID-19 Pandemic INTERVENTIONAL
SUMMARY: Thrombectomy for large-vessel-occlusion stroke is a highly impactful treatment. The spread of coronavirus 19 (COVID-19) across the United States and the globe impacts access to this crucial intervention through widespread societal and institutional changes. In this document, we review the implications of COVID-19 on the emergency care of large-vessel occlusion stroke, reviewing specific infection-control recommendations, available literature, existing resources, and expert consensus. As a population, patients with large-vessel occlusion stroke face unique challenges during pandemics. These are broad in scope. Resp...

The Caregiver Experience After Stroke in a COVID-19 Environment: A Qualitative Study in Inpatient Rehabilitation.
CONCLUSIONS: Caregiver attendance at therapy sessions and frequent, direct communication between staff and caregivers improved caregiver readiness for family member discharge following inpatient rehabilitation. This study shared perspectives from a distinctive time during the COVID-19 pandemic. If visitation for multiple therapy sessions is prohibited, we recommend taking alternative measures to keep the caregiver involved in the plan of care.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A326).

American College of Cardiology urges heart attack, stroke patients to seek medical help
(American College of Cardiology) Through its CardioSmart patient initiative, the American College of Cardiology has issued guidance to encourage patients experiencing a heart attack or stroke to call 911. While hospitals across the United States are experiencing an influx of COVID-19 patients, clinicians are reportedly seeing fewer patients going to emergency rooms for heart attack or stroke. Experts worry that patients who need critical care are delaying their treatment over concerns about the novel coronavirus.

Malignant Cerebral Ischemia in A COVID-19 Infected Patient: Case Review and Histopathological Findings
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for an unprecedented worldwide pandemic that has severely impacted the United States. As the pandemic continues, a growing body of evidence suggests that infected patients may develop significant coagulopathy with resultant thromboembolic complications including deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke. However, this data is limited and comes from recent small case series and observational studies on stroke types, mechanisms, and outcomes.
