The percentage of patients admitted for cardiovascular or cerebrovascular emergencies, who underwent interventional or open-surgical procedures during the hospital stay, were similar between pre-COVID and COVID periods for STEMI (84.7-86.3%), NSTEMI (58.0-60.5%), acute limb ischemia (81.9-82.8%), aortic rupture (51.5-56.7%), stroke (18.4-19.1%), and TIA (2.1-2.2%) (Fig. 2 and Table 1 ). This analysis of a large dataset of routinely collected health insurance claims demonstrated a marked decrease in hospital admission rates for several cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany. In this large-scale retrospective analysis of health insurance claims, we observed a marked decrease of in-hospital admission rates for acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular emergencies including myocardial infarction, acute limb ischemia, stroke, and transient ischemic attack during the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany.	./cache/cord-329900-lq91rb8c.txt	./txt/cord-329900-lq91rb8c.txt
