Infodemiology is a research discipline that investigates parameters of information distribution in order to support public health and public policy. Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia, is commonly used as a source of information for infodemiological studies. Using Pageviews analysis, we descriptively assessed the total monthly number of views of the Wikipedia articles in English describing main neurological diseases in the period from January 2018 to July 2020. Our results show a general trend of a decrease in interest in neurological disease-related pages throughout years and especially during the burst of interest towards coronavirus. The monitoring of infodemiological indicators shall be prioritized to reshape global campaigns and tailored advocacy programs.
A world map showing the global distribution of mortality from cerebrovascular diseases (age-standardized data per 100,000 population), WHO ATLAS, 2016 Kyrgyz Stroke Registry analysis : Ischemic stroke is prevalent in Kyrgyz polulation ( 777 patients, 1.5 years of observation) To implement RES-Q registry in 4 departments in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan 1. To determine the proportion of ischemic strokes and intracerebral hemorrhage in the general sample in 4 acute stroke departments in Kyrgyzstan 2. To detect the severity of neurological deficit according to the NIHSS in all patients with strokes 3. To identify the percentage of the neuroimaging made in the most acute period of strokes 4. To determine the percentage of mortality in the acute period of all strokes Methods • Data was collected for one month, at two different time of the year: February 2018, March 2018. • We registered 24 variables, including demographic parameters, types of strokes, median length of stay at hospital, post stroke disability and, treatment at discharge. RES-Q is an effective tool to collect clinical and demographic data in acute stroke patients.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
