The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Stroke Volume	2020-06-04		.txt	text/plain	1080	60	53	1, 4 While it has been reported that Covid-19 infection may be associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke and large vessel occlusion in younger patients at our center, we observed the opposite, with the Covid-19 pandemic resulting not only in a decrease in the number of EVTs, but in the number of acute code strokes in general. 5, 6 While this may reflect a natural variation in the number of strokes in the population over time, our assumption is that measures aimed at minimizing exposure to Covid-19 have influenced the decision of patients to seek medical attention. With respect to the various means of patient presentation for code stroke activation (directly via emergency medical services [EMS], transfer from another hospital, emergency room walk-in, and inpatients), it appears that the decrease in code stroke volume is evenly distributed.	./cache/cord-258109-19zqd907.txt	./txt/cord-258109-19zqd907.txt
