Comments on Stroke as a Neurological Complication of COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Incidence, Outcomes and Predictors
We read with interest the research article entitled “Stroke as a Neurological Complication of COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Incidence, Outcomes and Predictors”,1 it was a systematic review and meta-analysis on stroke incidence and different outcomes over COVID-19 patients. We are particularly concerned about the potential gro ups of overlapped COVID-19 stroke subjects in the meta-analysis under the worldwide SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Maintained acute stroke admission during the first wave COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden, a register-based study
Clinicians and researchers have addressed concerns about the negative impact of COVID-19 outbreaks on the ability of health care systems to provide timely assessment and acute therapies to patients with stroke. The aim of this study is to describe stroke care during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the same period the year before at an acute care hospital in Sweden.

Acute Stroke Care in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic respiratory disease with serious public health risk, and has taken the world off guard with its rapid spread. As the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies, overwhelming the healthcare system and the medical community, current practice for the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) will require modification, and guidelines should be relaxed while maintaining high standard quality of care. The aim of these suggestions is to avoid contributing to the rapid spread of COVID-19 as well as to conserve what are likely to be very limited resources (including personnel, intensive care/hos...

Optimization of Resources and Modifications in Acute Ischemic Stroke Care in Response to the Global COVID-19 Pandemic
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to healthcare organizations worldwide. A steadily rising number of patients requiring intensive care, a large proportion from racial and ethnic minorities, demands creative solutions to provide high-quality care while ensuring healthcare worker safety in the face of limited resources. Boston Medical Center has been particularly affected due to the underserved patient population we care for and the increased risk of ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19 infection.

Universal laboratory testing for SARS-CoV-2 in hyperacute stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic necessitates organizational and structural adjustments to local health care systems to protect medical professionals and patients from infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (1). Particularly older individuals and those with cardiovascular comorbidities are thought to be at increased risk of COVID-19 (2). Consequently, stroke patients can be considered an at-risk population and might benefit from infection control screens at hospital entry (3,4).

Code Stroke patient referral by Emergency Medical Services during the public COVID-19 pandemic lockdown
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic the use of health care systems changed suddenly. Hospitals were overwhelmed as a result of the staggering COVID-19 patient numbers1 and/or modified their daily routine due to prophylactic allocation of resources.2 Public lockdowns with strict containment recommendations for the community have been announced around the world.3 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) and dispatch centers were confronted with increasing numbers of patients/calls and reorganization of the dispatch system including Code Stroke patient referral.

Time of stroke onset in Coronavirus disease 2019 patients around the globe: a systematic review and analysis.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly became a pandemic. As of August 29th, 2020, over 24 million cases have been confirmed worldwide1. Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with diverse neurological manifestations involving both the central and peripheral nervous system2,3. In fact, reports of ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19 have increasingly been published, suggesting an association between these conditions. It has been proposed that SARS-CoV-2 infection induces a severe inflammatory response and hypercoagulable state, making patients susceptible to thromboti...

Unusual Pattern of Arterial Macrothrombosis Causing Stroke in a Young Adult Recovered from COVID-19
Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to grow all over the world. Neurological manifestations related to COVID-19, including acute ischemic Stroke (AIS), have been reported in recent studies. In most of these, the patients are older, have multiple co-morbidities as risk factors for AIS and have developed a severe respiratory illness. Herein, we report a 36-year-old man with no significant past medical history who recently recovered from a mild COVID-19 infection and presented with unusual pattern of arterial macrothrombosis causing AIS.

Commentary: Remote assessments of gait and balance - Implications for research during and beyond Covid-19.
We present assessments that do not require complex or costly equipment, specialized software, or trained personnel to administer. We provide recommendations to implement remote functional assessments for participant recruitment and continuation of lower limb neurorehabilitation research as a rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic and for utilization beyond the current pandemic. We also highlight critical research gaps related to feasibility and measurement characteristics of remote lower limb assessments, providing opportunities for future research to advance tele-assessment and tele-rehabilitation.

COVID-19 Lockdown Effects on Acute Stroke Care in Latin America
The Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has sparked an unprecedented international public health crisis. It has prompted numerous countries to implement lockdowns to mitigate the spread of the virus and to reduce the burden on health systems.1 The decrease in the use of health institutions for non-COVID medical conditions and mobility restrictions due to social isolation measures had a potential impact on the care of several non-communicable diseases, including stroke.2 –6
