cord-300742-hsfh4hw9	Ghoreishi, Abdoreza	Stroke care trends during COVID-19 pandemic in Zanjan Province, Iran. From the CASCADE Initiative: statistical analysis plan and preliminary results	2020-09-16		.txt	text/plain	3959	202	49	We used a Bayesian hierarchical model and an interrupted time series analysis (ITS) to identify changes in stroke hospitalization rate, baseline stroke severity [measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)], disability [measured by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)], presentation time (last seen normal to hospital presentation), thrombolytic therapy rate, median door-to-needle time, length of hospital stay, and in-hospital mortality. Variables of interest included hospitalization rate per week per 100,000 population (total ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes), male-to-female ratio, severity of stroke at admission [measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)], functional status at admission and at discharge [defined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) >2], presentation time (last known well to hospital admission), the proportion of patients who received intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) to total ischemic stroke incidence, door-to-needle time, door-to-CT time, hospital length-of-stay, and in-hospital mortality per admissions ratio (death before discharge).	./cache/cord-300742-hsfh4hw9.txt	./txt/cord-300742-hsfh4hw9.txt
