cord-293717-j4w6mq0f	Meza, Herbert Tejada	Impact of COVID-19 outbreak on ischemic stroke admissions and in-hospital mortality in North-West Spain	2020-06-26		.txt	text/plain	2328	135	58	CONCLUSION: We found a decrease in the number of ischemic stroke admissions and an increase in in-hospital mortality during the COVID-19 epidemic in this large study from North-West Spain. We aimed to analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak on hospital ischemic stroke admissions as well as the use of reperfusion therapies and inhospital mortality in tertiary referral hospitals from North-West Spain. We used descriptive statistics to compare the incidence of stroke admissions before and after the setting of the state of emergency in Spain, expressed in strokes per week (W) and the differences between the other study variables (IVT, EVT, in-hospital mortality, and wake-up strokes or unknown-onset time) in those periods. This study demonstrates a decrease in stroke admissions and an increase in stroke mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic across 16 centers within the NORDICTUS network including Arago'n, Asturias, Cantabria, Castilla y Leo'n, Euskadi, Galicia, La Rioja, and Navarra in North-West Spain.	./cache/cord-293717-j4w6mq0f.txt	./txt/cord-293717-j4w6mq0f.txt
