Using Clinical and Echocardiographic Characteristics to Characterize the Risk of Ischemic Stroke in Patients with COVID-19
Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) caused by infection with SARS-CoV-2 has been associated with a variety of systemic complications resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality.1 Early case series identified an elevated incidence of ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19.2-4 In retrospective studies, ischemic stroke has been identified in 0.5-5.8% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.5-10 Infection with COVID-19 has been independently associated with acute ischemic stroke compared with control subjects and the severity of COVID-19 syndrome correlates with risk acute stroke.

Original Article: Increased Stroke Severity and Mortality in Patients with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: An Analysis from the N3C Database
Studies from early in the COVID-19 pandemic showed that patients with ischemic stroke and concurrent SARS-CoV-2 infection had increased stroke severity. We aimed to test the hypothesis that this association persisted throughout the first year of the pandemic and that a similar increase in stroke severity was present in patients with hemorrhagic stroke.

Stroke and Thromboprophylaxis in the era of COVID-19
In the rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic, many patients presenting with acute ischemic stroke may be potentially infected with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS CoV-2) agent. As stroke patients are often unable to give an adequate history of preceding COVID-19 symptoms, all stroke patients in areas with high prevalence of community transmission should be considered potential cases. Observational studies have suggested an increased tendency for thrombotic events in patients infected with SARS CoV-2.

DO ELEVATED LEVELS OF INFLAMMATORY BIOMARKERS PREDICT THE RISK OF OCCURRENCE OF ISCHEMIC STROKE IN SARS-CoV2 ?: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
: Stroke, a dreaded complication of SARS-CoV2, has been reported in 0.9 to 5% of SARS-CoV2 patients. There are concerns that SARS-CoV2 infection has a significant independent association with acute ischemic stroke, even in the absence of conventional cerebrovascular risk factors. Whether elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers have predictive value in the occurrence of stroke in SARS-CoV2 is poorly understood.

COVID-19 encephalitis with SARS-CoV-2 detected in cerebrospinal fluid presenting as a stroke mimic
We report the case of a 35-year-old male with COVID-19 encephalitis presenting as a stroke mimic with sudden-onset expressive and receptive dysphasia, mild confusion and right arm incoordination. The patient received thrombolysis for a suspected ischaemic stroke, but later became febrile and SARS-CoV-2 was detected in cerebrospinal fluid. Electroencephalography demonstrated excess in slow waves, but neuroimaging was reported as normal. Respiratory symptoms were absent throughout and nasopharyngeal swab was negative for SARS-CoV-2.

Impact of the sars-cov-2 pandemic on the endovascular treatment of acute stroke – an italian single-center experience
: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic greatly influenced the overall quality of healthcare. The purpose of this study was to compare the time variables for acute stroke treatment and evaluate differences in the pre-hospital and in-hospital care before and during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, as well as between the first and second waves.

Ischemic stroke associated with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionIschemic stroke caused by COVID-19 has its own unique clinical features. Although common high-risk factors can also be observed, its importance may have changed. The major inflammatory storm of COVID-19 is more likely to occur in male patients. The increase in the proportion of cryptogenic stroke has also made stroke related to COVID-19 complicated.

This study investigates the risk factors, comorbidities, and outcomes in patients with SARS-VoV-2 infection and acute ischemic stroke compared to patients without these conditions. The present retrospective study was conducted in the King Abdullah International Medical Research Centre (KAIMRC), Ministry of National Guard, Health Affairs, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, during the period from April 2020 to February 2022. This study investigates the risk variables among the individuals who were diagnosed with either SARS-CoV-2 with stroke or patients with stroke alone. A total of 42,688 COVID-19 patients were registered, 187 cases of ...

Anticoagulation use and Hemorrhagic Stroke in SARS-CoV-2 Patients Treated at a New York Healthcare System
ConclusionWe observed an overall low rate of imaging-confirmed hemorrhagic stroke among patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Most hemorrhages in patients with COVID-19 infection occurred in the setting of therapeutic anticoagulation and were associated with increased mortality. Further studies are needed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of therapeutic anticoagulation in patients with COVID-19.

Impact of a Stay-at-Home Order on Stroke Admission, Subtype, and Metrics during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Conclusions: There was a trend of decreasing AIS admissions during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was also a significantly increased number of AIS patients with LVO who received MT, especially those with COVID-19. We conclude that cytokine storm resulting from SARS-CoV-2 infection might play a role in AIS patients with COVID-19.Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2020;10:159 –165
