ABSTRACT

Background and aims: Clinicians and researchers have addressed concerns about the negative impact of COVID-19 outbreaks on the ability of health care systems to provide timely assessment and acute therapies to patients with stroke. The aims of this study are to describe stroke care during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the same period the year before at a large acute care hospital in Sweden. Methods: In this cohort study data were collected from March 1st to August 31st in 2019 and 2020 on all patients diagnosed with stroke and TIA and registered at Danderyd Hospital in the national quality registry (Riksstroke). Data were completed with information from the medical record. Sweden had no lockdown during 2020. The number of patients with COVID-19 the same period 2020 treated at Danderyd Hospital were collected. Results: In year 2019 there were 472 registered stroke patients at Danderyd Hospital, compared to 481 registered stroke patients the same period during 2020. The number of minor stroke and TIA during the period in 2019 compared to 2020 were 424 versus 410 respectively (-3.3%). During the study period 2020 1428 patients with a COVID-19 diagnosis were treated. There was an increased delay from onset to arrival to the ED and door-to needle time. The rate of admission to Stroke Unit care and the rate of thrombolysis was maintained.
