A statistically significant increase in the number of Black and Hispanic patients presenting with strokes was noted in California, Pacific hospitals, Western hospitals, and all hospitals in the United States during various months studied comparing 2020 to 2019. Given the recent pandemic and racial disparity among patients afflicted with SARS-CoV-2 and the possible link of this virus and cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), we sought to analyze whether there was a disparity for stroke patients presenting to hospitals during this time using the Get with the Guidelines (GWTG) National Stroke Database. The primary endpoint of this study is to compare whether there was a significant difference in the proportion of patients in each reported racial category presenting to our institution with stroke during the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2.	./cache/cord-332065-afq26621.txt	./txt/cord-332065-afq26621.txt
