Abstract Background: The novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) causes multi-system disease including possibly heightened stroke risk. Data from high-income countries (HIC) suggest disruptions to care delivery with reduced stroke admissions and administration of acute stroke reperfusion therapies. We are unaware of any published data on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stroke admissions and outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa. Purpose: To compare rates of stroke admissions and case fatality between corresponding periods in 2020 and 2019, within a hospital system in Ghana, to assess the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: We compared monthly stroke admissions and mortality rates between January to June 2020 vs. January to June 2019 at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, a tertiary medical center in Ghana. Predictors of in-patient mortality were assessed using a multivariate logistic regression model. Results: Stroke admissions were higher in January to June 2020 vs. January to June 2019 (431 vs. 401), an increase of +7.5% (95% CI: 5.1–10.5%). There was also a rise in recurrent stroke admissions in 2020 vs. 2019 (19.0% vs. 10.9%, p = .0026). Stroke case fatality trended higher in 2020 vs. 2019 (29.3% vs. 24.2%, p = .095) with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.22 (95% CI: 0.89–1.68). Conclusion: While an influence of secular trends cannot be excluded, the COVID-19 outbreak coincided with a comparatively significant rise in initial and recurrent stroke admissions at this Ghanaian tertiary hospital. Continued surveillance at this hospital, as well as assessment of this issue at other sites in Africa is warranted.

COVID-19 和中风:在加纳医疗保健系统中的经验

摘要背景:新型冠状病毒病 19 (COVID-19) 引起多系统疾病,包括可能增加中风风险。来自高收入国家 (HIC) 的数据表明,随着卒中入院人数的减少和急性卒中再灌注治疗的实施,护理服务中断。我们不知道有关 COVID-19 大流行对撒哈拉以南非洲地区中风入院率和结果影响的任何已发布数据。目的:比较 2020 年和 2019 年同期加纳医院系统内的中风入院率和病死率,以评估 COVID-19 大流行的潜在影响。方法:我们比较了 2020 年 1 月至 2020 年 1 月至 2019 年 1 月至 2019 年 6 月在加纳三级医疗中心 Komfo Anokye 教学医院的每月中风入院率和死亡率。使用多变量逻辑回归模型评估住院死亡率的预测因素。结果:2020 年 1 月至 6 月的中风入院率高于 2019 年 1 月至 6 月(431 对 401),增加了 +7.5%(95% CI:5.1-10.5%)。与 2019 年相比,2020 年复发性中风入院率也有所增加(19.0% 与 10.9%,p = .0026)。与 2019 年相比,2020 年卒中死亡率呈上升趋势(29.3% 对 24.2%,p = .095),调整后的优势比为 1.22(95% CI:0.89–1.68)。结论:虽然不能排除长期趋势的影响,但 COVID-19 爆发恰逢这家加纳三级医院的初始和复发中风入院率相对显着增加。有必要对这家医院进行持续监测,并在非洲其他地点评估这一问题。与 2019 年 1 月至 6 月相比,2020 年 1 月至 6 月的中风入院率更高(431 对 401),增加了 +7.5%(95% CI:5.1-10.5%)。与 2019 年相比,2020 年复发性中风入院率也有所增加(19.0% 与 10.9%,p = .0026)。与 2019 年相比,2020 年卒中死亡率呈上升趋势(29.3% 对 24.2%,p = .095),调整后的优势比为 1.22(95% CI:0.89–1.68)。结论:虽然不能排除长期趋势的影响,但 COVID-19 爆发恰逢这家加纳三级医院的初始和复发中风入院率相对显着增加。有必要对这家医院进行持续监测,并在非洲其他地点评估这一问题。与 2019 年 1 月至 6 月相比,2020 年 1 月至 6 月的中风入院率更高(431 对 401),增加了 +7.5%(95% CI:5.1-10.5%)。与 2019 年相比,2020 年复发性中风入院率也有所增加(19.0% 与 10.9%,p = .0026)。与 2019 年相比,2020 年卒中死亡率呈上升趋势(29.3% 对 24.2%,p = .095),调整后的优势比为 1.22(95% CI:0.89–1.68)。结论:虽然不能排除长期趋势的影响,但 COVID-19 爆发恰逢这家加纳三级医院的初始和复发中风入院率相对显着增加。有必要对这家医院进行持续监测,并在非洲其他地点评估这一问题。与 2019 年相比,2020 年复发性中风入院率也有所增加(19.0% 与 10.9%,p = .0026)。与 2019 年相比,2020 年卒中死亡率呈上升趋势(29.3% 对 24.2%,p = .095),调整后的优势比为 1.22(95% CI:0.89–1.68)。结论:虽然不能排除长期趋势的影响,但 COVID-19 爆发恰逢这家加纳三级医院的初始和复发中风入院率相对显着增加。有必要对这家医院进行持续监测,并在非洲其他地点评估这一问题。与 2019 年相比,2020 年复发性中风入院率也有所增加(19.0% 与 10.9%,p = .0026)。与 2019 年相比,2020 年卒中死亡率呈上升趋势(29.3% 对 24.2%,p = .095),调整后的优势比为 1.22(95% CI:0.89–1.68)。结论:虽然不能排除长期趋势的影响,但 COVID-19 爆发恰逢这家加纳三级医院的初始和复发中风入院率相对显着增加。有必要对这家医院进行持续监测,并在非洲其他地点评估这一问题。在 COVID-19 爆发的同时,这家加纳三级医院的初始和复发性中风入院率相对显着增加。有必要对这家医院进行持续监测,并在非洲其他地点评估这一问题。COVID-19 爆发恰逢这家加纳三级医院的初始和复发性中风入院率相对显着增加。有必要对这家医院进行持续监测,并在非洲其他地点评估这一问题。
