Summary

TELEstroke to CAre for STroke Patients at a Comprehensive Stroke Center (TELECAST-CSC) during the COVID-19 pandemic is a pre-post study evaluating guideline-based acute ischemic stroke care following the implementation of inpatient telestroke at a comprehensive stroke center during the COVID-19 global pandemic. TELECAST-CSC compares two cohorts: the "in-person phase" (December 1, 2019-March 15, 2020), when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered conventionally in-person and the "telestroke phase" (March 16, 2020-June 29, 2020) when all inpatient stroke team care was delivered exclusively via telestroke as part of our healthcare system's pandemic response. We studied the following primarily clinical endpoints: diagnostic stroke evaluation, secondary stroke prevention, health screening and evaluation, stroke education, mortality, and stroke recurrence and readmission rates.
