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.

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.

Stroke and Novel Coronavirus Infection in Humans: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: The occurrence of stroke in patients with COVID-19 infection is uncommon, but it may pose as an important prognostic marker and indicator of severity of infection, by causing large vessels occlusion and exhibiting a thrombo-inflammatory vascular picture. Physicians should be made aware and remain vigilant on the possible two-way relationship between stroke and COVID-19 infection. The rate of stroke among patients with COVID-19 infection may increase in the future as they share the common risk factors.

Impact of National Lockdown on the Hyperacute Stroke Care and Rapid Transient Ischaemic Attack Outpatient Service in a Comprehensive Tertiary Stroke Centre During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Conclusions: National lockdown in the UK due to the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with a significant decrease in acute stroke admission and TIA evaluations at our stroke center. Moreover, a lower proportion of acute stroke patients in the pandemic cohort benefited from reperfusion therapy. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of the pandemic on stroke care.

Modification of Acute Stroke Pathway in Korea After the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Outbreak
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the COVID-19 outbreak immediately affected the management process. However, it did not have a significant overall impact on the trends of stroke treatment processes and outcomes. The stroke management process should be modified according to changing situations for optimal acute management.

A case-control analysis of stroke in Covid-19 patients: Results of Unusual Manifestations of Covid-19-Study 11
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of stroke in COVID-19 patients presenting to EDs was lower than in the non-COVID-19 reference sample. COVID-19 patients with stroke had greater need for hospitalization and ICU admission than those without stroke, and longer hospitalization and greater in-hospital mortality than non-COVID-19 patients with stroke.PMID:34490961 | DOI:10.1111/acem.14389

Reduction in Acute Stroke Admissions during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Data from a National Stroke Registry
Conclusion: The marked decrease in admissions for acute stroke and TIA, occurring at a time of a relatively low burden of COVID-19, is of great concern. Public awareness campaigns are needed as patients reluctant to seek urgent stroke care are deprived of lifesaving procedures and secondary prevention treatments.Neuroepidemiology

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on acute stroke care: An  analysis of the 24-month data from a comprehensive stroke center in Shanghai, China
CONCLUSIONS: During the 24 months of COVID-19, a prolongation of stroke onset to hospital arrival and to intravenous rt-PA administration times were noted. Meanwhile, acute stroke patients needed to stay in the ED for a longer time before hospitalization. Educational system support and process optimization should be pursued in order to acquire timely delivery of stroke care during the pandemic.PMID:36890633 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14148

Stroke Hospital Admissions during the COVID-19 Outbreak in S ão Paulo, Brazil
Conclusion: We argue for policies aimed at improving stroke care and developing awareness campaigns regarding the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, as even in less severe presentations, stroke can trigger an increase in mortality, cost, and long-term disability.Cerebrovasc Dis

Stroke epidemiology and COVID-19 pandemic
Purpose of review The aim of this study was to describe the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the epidemiology, cause and clinical characteristics of incident stroke in different settings and populations. Recent findings Several studies have shown that there are three main themes in the epidemiology of stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic: COVID-19 seems to be associated with stroke in a significant number of patients. This association has been reported in several clinical series, mainly from China. There is a consistent trend towards a decreased number of hospital admissions of stroke patients during the pandem...
