Due to the high rates of nosocomial transmission as well as the potential for overwhelming hospital resources, stroke centers across the world implemented new protocols for the triaging of patients with stroke, particularly those with LVOs requiring MT. 8 A recent study from a single center in New Jersey, one of the most heavily COVID-impacted states in the country, corroborated the decrease in overall stroke volume but also found a greater proportion of patients with stroke presenting with LVOs during the COVID-19 period. Although the overall incidence of AIS in COVID-19 is not clear, there is emerging evidence that the rate of LVOs is increased in patients with COVID-19 who may not have the typical stroke risk factors. ./cache/cord-271840-cw2xy1m6.txt ./txt/cord-271840-cw2xy1m6.txt
