Monitored anesthesia care during mechanical thrombectomy for stroke: need for data-driven and individualized decisions
Conclusions Our study showed that the overall rate of conversion from MAC to GA during MT was low (1.6%) and, while higher in posterior circulation strokes, it was not predicted by either hemispheric dominance or stroke severity. Caution should be given before changing clinical practice during moments of crisis.

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...

Implementing the SNIS recommendations for neurointerventional emergent care in the setting of COVID-19: impact on stroke metrics and patient outcomes
Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic did not significantly affect stroke admission volume or acute stroke treatment utilization. Outcomes were not affected by implementing SNIS guidelines. Although there was a statistical increase in time to groin puncture for ET, it was not clinically meaningful. These results suggest hospitals managing patients efficiently can implement practices in response to COVID-19 without impacting outcomes.

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-177 Treatment of ischemic stroke in patients diagnosed with covid-19: a matched analysis of the national inpatient sample
ConclusionsIn this matched NIS analysis of patients treated for ischemic stroke with a concomitant COVID diagnosis, we demonstrate that EVT trends towards, although nonsignificant, higher rates of favorable functional outcomes when compared to medically managed patients.Abstract E-177 Table 1Patients with COVID and Acute Ischemic Stroke Comparing medical management vs EVT 1:1 Nearest Neighbor Matching for EVT based on Age, NIHSS, Gender, and Comorbidities Medically Managed N = 495 1 Endovascular ThrombectomyN = 495 1 p-value 2 Age in years at admission 66.82 ± 16.98 (19.00-90.00), (1.77) 65.67 ± 14.81 (28...

Impact of COVID-19 on the Volume of Acute Stroke Admissions: A Nationwide Survey in Japan
In conclusion, the acute stroke admission volume declined by 2.51% in 2020 relative to 2019 in Japan, especially during the months of high infection, and in highly infected prefectures. Overwhelmed healthcare systems and infection control practices may have been associated with the decline in the stroke admission volume during the COVID-19 pandemic.PMID:35753763 | DOI:10.2176/jns-nmc.2022-0099
