Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stroke epidemiology and clinical stroke practice in the US
: To examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stroke, the number of stroke patients, time since last known well (LKW), morbidity, and mortality of stroke patients in Southwest Healthcare System (SHS), California (CA) and the United States (US) were analyzed during 2019 and compared to 2020. Our hypothesis is that there are regional differences in stroke outcome depending on location during the COVID-19 study period which influences stroke epidemiology and clinical stroke practice.

Feasibility of a remotely supervised home-based group eHealth Fitness and Mobility Exercise program for stroke: French-Canadian version preliminary study
CONCLUSION: FAME@home was feasible to deliver as a remotely supervised group exercise program to community-dwelling stroke survivors, with high levels of retention and adherence. FAME@home improved accessibility to exercise and facilitated engagement by having a class schedule and social interaction.PMID:34994303 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.2012008

Inequities in Telemedicine Use Among Patients With Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases: A Tricenter Cross-sectional Study
Discussion In our diverse cohort across 3 centers, we found differences in TM visit type by race and insurance early during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings suggest disparities in VTM access across different stroke populations. As VTM remains an integral part of outpatient neurology practice, steps to ensure equitable access are essential.

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.

Managing post-stroke care during the COVID-19 pandemic at a tertiary care level hospital in Peru
Objectives: To understand the hospital-to-outpatient care transition and how the discharge process of stroke patients is managed; and to identify potential opportunities to improve these processes, while contrasting pre- and during COVID-19 experiences in Peru.Methods: A qualitative study was conducted between February and March 2021 consisting of in-depth interviews of patients with stroke, their caregivers and healthcare personnel regarding stroke care at a national tertiary referral center for stroke care in Lima, Peru.

Social distancing, stroke admissions and stroke mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic: a multicenter, longitudinal study
Objectives. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between social distancing, stroke admissions and stroke mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic, while accounting for the rate of COVID-19 admissions. Methods. We performed a longitudinal analysis of a multicenter, prospective, hospital-based registry of intensive care units from 19 hospitals from Brazil, comprising a 14-month period of the COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated whether the daily rate of admissions (DRAstroke) and daily mortality rate for stroke were associated with the social distancing index (SDI), taking into account the daily rate of admissions for COVID-19 ...

Original Article: Increased Stroke Severity and Mortality in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Analysis from the N3C Database
Studies from early in the COVID-19 pandemic showed that patients with ischemic stroke and concurrent SARS-CoV-2 infection had increased stroke severity. We aimed to test the hypothesis that this association persisted throughout the first year of the pandemic and that a similar increase in stroke severity was present in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.

Stroke and Thromboprophylaxis in the era of COVID-19
In the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, many patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke may be potentially infected with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS CoV-2) agent. As stroke patients are often unable to give an adequate history of preceding COVID-19 symptoms, all stroke patients in areas with high prevalence of community transmission should be considered potential cases. Observational studies have suggested an increased tendency for thrombotic events in patients infected with SARS CoV-2.

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.
