Abstract:Intro:
Space weather induced geomagnetic storms have been associated with an increased risk of stroke occurrence. Data on image-proven, temporally related large vessel occlusion stroke (LVO) and geomagnetic storms are lacking. We sought to investigate this potential association to determine whether space weather forecasts can be used to predict incoming cluster events.
Methods:
Data from a Comprehensive Stroke Center were collected from January 1, 2017,… Show more
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.
