Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Admission and Mortality Among Patients With Severe Emergency Diseases at Emergency Departments in Korea in 2020: Registry Data From the National Emergency Department Information System
J Korean Med Sci. 2023 Jul 31;38(30):e243. doi: 10.3346/jkms.2023.38.e243.ABSTRACTWe aimed to investigate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on admissions of patients with acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and severe trauma, and their excess mortality in emergency departments (EDs) in South Korea using registry data from the National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS) for patients attending EDs of regional and local emergency medical centers. During the outbreak period of 2020, there were 350,698 ED visits, which was lower than the total in 2019 (392,627 visits). Multiple logisti...

E-086 The effect of covid-19 vaccines on stroke outcomes: a single-center study
ConclusionAlthough vaccination did not show any significant difference in stroke patient outcomes on follow-up, vaccines were associated with lower rates of morbidity and mortality at discharge among stroke patients during the pandemic.Abstract E-086 Table 1Comparison of outcomes between COVID-19-positive unvaccinated vs. fully vaccinated patients presenting with stroke.*Adjusted for hypertension, atrial fibrillation, PVD, admission NIHSS, ASPECTS, tandem occlusion, and thrombectomy Unvaccinated Vaccinated Effect Variable Unadjusted Value (95% CI ) Unadjusted p-value Adjusted Value (95% CI )* Adjusted p-value* Primary Out...

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...

RECREATE: a study protocol for a multicentre pilot cluster randomised controlled trial (cRCT) in UK stroke services evaluating an intervention to reduce sedentary behaviour in stroke survivors (Get Set Go) with embedded process and economic evaluations
This study is a pragmatic, multicentre, two-arm, external pilot cluster randomised controlled trial with embedded process and economic evaluations. UK-based stroke services will be randomised 1:1 to the intervention (usual care plus Get Set Go) or control (usual care) arm. Fifteen stroke services will recruit 300–400 stroke inpatient and carer participants, with follow-up at 6, 12 and 24 months. The proposed primary endpoint is stroke survivor self-reported Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living scale at 12 months. Endpoint analyses will be exploratory and provide preliminary estimates of intervention effect....

P-028 Impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the intracranial aneurysm treatment and associated outcomes: a propensity score matching study
Conclusions and RelevanceThe COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the healthcare system and has led to changes in the treatment of various neurological conditions, including ICAs. The pandemic resulted in a shift in the treatment of SAH and an increase in endovascular procedures over open surgical clipping. COVID-19 infection has been associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke and worsened outcomes for stroke patients. Further research is necessary to understand the long-term effects of the pandemic on the healthcare system and patient outcomes.Disclosures A. Ghaith: None. M. Ghanem: None. E. Greco: None....

E-069 Covid-19 and mechanical thrombectomy: confounder or contributor
ConclusionLate in the pandemic, mortality rates remain very high for patients with COVID-19 undergoing mechanical thrombectomy. This is significant in that later circulating variants appear to cause less severe disease.Disclosures C. Houk: None. N. Ellens: None. G. Kohli: None. D. Schartz: None. D. Proper: None. T.

Trends in the Longitudinal Utilization of Oral Anticoagulants Among Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation Patients With Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid Insurance
Long-term oral anticoagulation (OAC) is recommended for stroke prevention for most patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and elevated stroke risk.1 While trends in initiation of OAC have been described,2,3 long-term trends in utilization of OAC in patients continuously followed for AF have not been adequately explored. Some healthcare systems adapted anticoagulation services to respond to disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic.4 We thus investigated how OACs were utilized in patients with newly diagnosed AF from 2018 to 2021 across 3 insurance types: Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial.

Position of the Polish Cardiac Society on therapeutic targets for LDL cholesterol concentrations in secondary prevention of myocardial infarctions
Kardiol Pol. 2023 Jul 25. doi: 10.33963/KP.a2023.0162. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiovascular diseases account for 43% of deaths in Poland. The COVID-19 pandemic increased the number of cardiovascular deaths by as much as 16.7%. Lipid metabolism disorders are observed in about 20 million Poles. Lipid disorders are usually asymptomatic, they cause a significant increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Up to 20% of patients who experience an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may experience a recurrence of a cardiovascular event within a year, and up to 40% of these patients may be re-hospitalized. Within 5 years af...
