Social and health determinants related to adverse short-term outcomes after a first-ever stroke in adults younger than 65 years
Stroke-related mortality and disability-adjusted life years in adults younger than 65 have increased over the last decade. However, geographical differences in distributing these outcomes could reflect dissimilarity in determinants. Therefore, this cross-sectional study of secondary data from Chilean hospitals aims to analyze the association of sociodemographic and clinical factors with in-hospital case-fatality risk or acquired neurologic deficits (adverse outcomes) in inpatients aged 18 to 64 who experienced their first-ever stroke.

Stroke symptoms, risk factors awareness and personal decision making in Chile. A national survey
Stroke is the second main cause of death and the first cause of acquired disability in the world.1 Even though there is a slight decrease in its incidence, DALYs and mortality rates in Latin America since 1990, the absolute numbers are increasing due to rapid population aging. In 2019 e there were 30,704 discharges of a new or recurrent stroke and 7,989 deaths related to stroke becoming the second main specific cause of death in Chile.23 Reperfusion therapy rates are low in Latin America,4-6 with many possible barriers including inequity in accessing complex systems of care for stroke.

Breaking Down Barriers: Easter Island's First Telestroke Thrombolysis Experience and Case Report
Easter Island (Rapa Nui), Chile, is remote, located in the Polynesian Triangle in Oceania. The closest continental point is Chile, 3,512  km east. It has a population of 7,750 inhabitants, who are Chilean citizens, and receives more than 60,000 tourists a year. For this entire population, there is a medium complexity hospital without a neurology specialist. In 2019, local professionals were trained in a Telestroke program with remot e clinical support conducted by neurologists located on mainland Chile.
