Background: Prevalence and etiology of unconsciousness are uncertain in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We tested the hypothesis that increased inflammation in COVID-19 precedes coma, independent of medications, hypotension, and hypoxia.
Methods: We retrospectively assessed 3203 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 from March 2 through July 30, 2020, in New York City with the Glasgow Coma Scale and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) scores.
Introduction: Improving the health care dispensed to patients who have suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) requires a thorough knowledge of its evolution.
Aims: To examine the evolution of CVA and its subgroups by looking at the rates of mortality, recurrences and extra-neurological complications. We also sought to determine the value of different clinical scales and urinary incontinence at the beginning of CVA as factors that could potentially predict its severity.
Introduction: Knowledge about the epidemiology of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), or stroke, in the town of Rivera, Uruguay, would be useful as the basis on which to apply health care strategies both in the prevention of risk factors and in early diagnosis and treatment.
Aims: To determine the incidence of CVA in the town of Rivera and to study the association between certain risk factors and the pathological type of CVA.
Patients And Methods: The study, which spanned the period between 1st March 2000 and 28th February 2001, was conducted in the town of Rivera, which has a population of 62,859 and is located in the north of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay.
