Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed stroke incidents as adverse events following the administration of 79,399,446 doses of six different COVID-19 vaccines in Mexico from December 2020 to August 2021.
- The research monitored hospitalized adult patients, focusing on types of strokes occurring within 30 days post-vaccination and identified acute ischemic strokes (AIS) as the most common, with a total incidence of 0.71 cases per million doses.
- Out of 56 stroke cases reported, most occurred shortly after vaccination (median of 2 days), with 48.2% diagnosed within the first 24 hours, highlighting the need for careful monitoring of potential neurological side effects following vaccination.
Background: Few studies are focused on the quality of life (QOL) of primary caregivers and the effects of the clinical variables of epilepsy and patient psychiatric comorbidity on primary caregivers.
Purpose: Our main objective was to describe QOL and level of burden (LB) in caregivers of people with epilepsy (PWE) at a tertiary-care hospital in Mexico City. A secondary purpose was to determine if LB and QOL were different between caregivers of patients with neuropsychiatric comorbidity and caregivers of patients without neuropsychiatric comorbidity.
