Risk of Hemorrhagic Stroke in Patients With Coronavirus Disease 2019
To the Editor We read with interest the article by Merkler et al regarding the increased incidence of ischemic stroke in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) compared with those with influenza. The authors also reported that 13% of patients with COVID-19 were receiving anticoagulation at the time of the stroke. Could the authors comment on the rate of anticoagulant use in patients with COVID-19 who did not have an ischemic stroke? This would also be helpful to assess the possibility that anticoagulation may have been protective.
