cord-263363-2um8ntvi	de Havenon, Adam	Excess neurological death in New York City after the emergence of COVID-19	2020-07-20		.txt	text/plain	651	48	62	title: Excess neurological death in New York City after the emergence of COVID-19 Figure 1b shows the concept of excess non-COVID deaths, which averaged 1670/week during 03/21/20-05/30/20. In mid-March 2020, after the rise in COVID-19 infections in NYC, excess non-COVID deaths increased for cerebrovascular and Alzheimer's disease, but this increase was far less than multiple other causes of death. Lack of widespread COVID-19 testing during this period [4] means that many of the excess non-COVID deaths were likely due to complications from undiagnosed COVID-19. The relatively small 11.8% increase in cerebrovascular death suggests that while stroke may complicate COVID-19 infection, it may not be as fatal as other complications. Despite these limitations, we found that the two most common neurological causes of death, cerebrovascular and Alzheimer's disease, increased comparatively less than pulmonary, cardiac, and diabetic deaths in NYC during the recent peak of COVID-19 mortality.	./cache/cord-263363-2um8ntvi.txt	./txt/cord-263363-2um8ntvi.txt
