Abstract

Despite a difficult year focusing on the COVID-19 pandemic, from 7 November to 8 November, stroke clinicians and researchers experienced a great opportunity to learn about the latest research results and developments across the entire care spectrum. This year’s European and World Stroke Organisation Conference was not only the first joint conference but also the first virtual experience of this magnitude in the field. More than 5000 participants were registered worldwide. Many interesting studies and impactful large trial results were presented giving rise to lively controversies (live sessions and chats). This article will focus on a few selected studies that were presented at the conference, ranging from insights into pre-hospital triage, acute interventions, to secondary prevention, rehabilitation and the impact of the current pandemic on stroke care.
Keywords: stroke; conference highlights; triage; thrombolysis; secondary prevention stroke; conference highlights; triage; thrombolysis; secondary prevention
