The data of patients admitted with transient ischemic attack, ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) to the emergency department of the Hanyang University Seoul Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. The data were compared between the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 periods. Poisson regression analysis was performed to evaluate changes in admission rates as a function of the year, social distancing level, and the interaction between the year and social distancing level. The number of admissions for CVAs dropped from 674 in the pre-COVID-19 period to 582 in the COVID-19 period. The decline in the number of admissions for ICH during social distancing measures was statistically significant, while the declines in SAH and ischemic stroke admissions were not. When the social distancing level was raised, admissions for CVAs dropped by 19.8%. The correlation between social distancing and decreased admissions for CVAs is a paradoxical relationship that may be of interest to the field of public health.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm12050664","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,21]],"date-time":"2022-04-21T03:46:11Z","timestamp":1650512771000},"page":"664","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Relationship between Social Distancing and Admissions for Cerebrovascular Accidents at a Tertiary Medical Center during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Retrospective, Community-Based Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4936-0432","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shin-Woong","family":"Ko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, College of Medicine, Hanyang University, 17 Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 133-792, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyoung-Joon","family":"Chun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, College of Medicine, Hanyang University, 17 Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 133-792, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hyeong-Joong","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, College of Medicine, Hanyang University, 17 Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 133-792, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyu-Sun","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, College of Medicine, Hanyang University, 17 Haengdang-dong, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 133-792, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"104953","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jstrokecerebrovasdis.2020.104953","article-title":"Falling Stroke Rates during COVID-19 Pandemic at a Comprehensive Stroke Center","volume":"29","author":"Siegler","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
