Introduction: A stroke is a sudden focal loss of brain function that lasts longer than 24 hours, during which there is a disturbance of cerebral circulation. It occurs due to ischemic damage or intra cerebral hemorrhage. In Europe, approximately one million people die from a stroke every year. In patients infected with the corona virus, the incidence of stroke is from 0.5 to 5.9%. Objective: to examine the total number of emergency interventions due to stroke symptoms in the Department of Emergency Medicine of Karlovac County in the period from April 1, 2019. until 31.12.2022. during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the medical documentation of ZZHM of Karlovac County for the period from April 1, 2019. until 31.12.2022. years. Results: In the period from April 1, 2019. until 31.12.2022. in ZZHM of Karlovac County, there were 34,138 emergency interventions. There were 550 emergency interventions due to stroke symptoms (1.6%). In the total number of patients with stroke symptoms, men were 239 (43.5%), that is, 13% less than women, who were 311 (56.5%). There were 463 (84.2%) patients over the age of 65, i.e. 68.4% more than those under 65. There were 87 (15.8%) under the age of 65. There were 8 (1.45%) COVID-19 positive patients with stroke symptoms. The mean value of the Glasgow Coma Scale in COVID 19 positive patients with stroke symptoms was 10.25±3.47. Conclusion: In patients who have developed a stroke, it is necessary to recognize symptoms as early as possible, apply targeted diagnostics and choose the right therapy. Early diagnosis and treatment of stroke contribute to the reduction of damage caused by ischemia and to faster physical recovery and reduction of disability.
