Background and Purpose: Telemedicine for stroke patients’ care (telestroke [TS]) has grown notably in recent decades and may offer advantages during health crisis. Hospital admissions related to stroke have decreased globally during the COVID-19 pandemic, but scarce information is available regarding the effect of COVID-19 in TS. Using a population-based TS registry, we investigated the impact of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout our TS network in Santiago, Chile. Methods: Stroke codes evaluated after the onset of COVID-19 restrictions in Chile (defined as March 15, 2020) were compared with those evaluated in 2019. We analyzed differences between number of stroke codes, thrombolysis rate, stroke severity, and time from the stroke onset to hospital admission. Results: We observed that the number of stroke codes and the number of patients undergoing reperfusion therapy did not change significantly (p = 0.669 and 0.415, respectively). No differences were found with respect to the median time from the stroke onset to admission (p = 0.581) or in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores (p = 0.055). The decision-making-to-needle time was significantly shorter in the COVID-19 period (median 5 min [IQR 3–8], p < 0.016), but no significant changes were found at the other times. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the potential of adapting TS to extreme situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the importance of establishing networks that facilitate patient access to quality treatments.

Abstract

After implementing Phase 1 of the High-Frequency Phone Survey (HFPS) project in Latin America and The Caribbean in 2020, the World Bank conducted Phase 2 in 2021 to continue to assess the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on households. This new phase, conducted in partnership with the UNDP LAC Chief Economist office, included two waves. Wave 1 covering 24 countries. Wave 2 collected between October and December 2022, covering 22 countries. Of these countries, 13 participated in Phase 1: Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay and Peru. Countries that joined in Phase 2 are: Antigua & Barbuda and Brazil (only in Wave 1), Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Panama, St. Lucia and Uruguay.

This study presents information from 23 countries for which data was collected between May and July 2021. Brazil was integrated into the LAC HFPS Phase 2 project at a later point and was implemented with a slightly different approach. See the project information here: https://microdata.worldbank.org/index.php/catalog/4533.

Sampling procedure

The size of the Phase 2 Wave 2 overall (cell phones and landlines) selected sample of phone numbers (i.e., before any fieldwork activities) in each of the Original Countries (i.e. the 13 countries included in LAC HFPS Phase 1) is equal to the Phase 1 Wave 1 overall selected sample of phone numbers, plus the Phase 2 Wave 1 overall supplement fresh sample, plus the Phase 2 Wave 2 overall supplement fresh sample of phone numbers.

The samples of the Added Countries (i.e. those only included in Phase 2) is based on a dual frame of cell phone and landline numbers generated through a Random Digit Dialing (RDD) process. In the first phase, a large sample was selected in both frames, and then screened through an automated process to identify the active, eligible numbers. A smaller second-phase sample was selected from the active residential numbers from in the first-phase sample and was delivered to the country teams. Please see Sampling Design and Weighting document for more detail.
