Global impact of COVID-19 on stroke care and IV thrombolysis
Nogueira, Raul G.; Qureshi, Muhammad M.; Abdalkader, Mohamad; Martins, Sheila Ouriques; Yamagami, Hiroshi; Qiu, Zhongming; Mansour, Ossama YassinObjective: To measure the global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of IV thrombolysis (IVT), IVT transfers, and stroke hospitalizations over 4 months at the height of the pandemic (March 1 to June 30, 2020) compared with 2 control 4-month periods. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study across 6 continents, 70 countries, and 457 stroke centers. Diagnoses were identified ...
Hypoalbuminemia, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, and functional outcom...
Di Napoli, Mario; Behrouz, Reza; Topel, Christopher H.; Misra, Vivek; Pomero, Fulvio; Giraudo, Alessia; Pennati, Paolo; Masotti, LucaPurpose: Hypoalbuminemia and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) are reported in critically-ill patients, but their relationship is unclear. We sought to determine the association of admission serum albumin and SIRS with outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Methods: We used a multicenter, multinational registry of ICH patients to select patients in whom SIRS parameters and serum ...
Clinical course and outcomes of small supratentorial intracerebral hematomas
Behrouz, Reza; Misra, Vivek; Godoy, Daniel A.; Topel, Christopher H.; Masotti, Luca; Klijn, Catharina J. M.; Smith, Craig J.; Parry-Jones, Adrian R.Background and Purpose: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volume, particularly if >= 30 mL, is a major determinant of poor outcome. We used a multinational ICH data registry to study the characteristics, course, and outcomes of supratentorial hematomas with volumes <30 mL. Methods: Basic characteristics, clinical and radiological course, and 30-day outcomes of these patients were recorded. Outcomes were categorize...
