Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Complicating Herpes Zoster Ophthalmicus Ophthalmoplegia.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare cause of strokes and is most common in younger patients particularly those less than 50 years of age. It is more common in females than in males and is known to be associated with pregnancy, puerperium, oral contraception, congenital and acquired thrombophilia, and malignancy. Less commonly, it has been shown to be associated with infections and more recently has been found to be associated with COVID-19 infection with thrombocytopenia and the COVID-19 vaccine AstraZeneca.

Survival prediction algorithms for COVID-19 patients admitted to a UK district general hospital.

Objective: To collect and review data from consecutive patients admitted to Queen's Hospital, Burton on Trent for treatment of Covid-19 infection, with the aim of developing a predictive algorithm that can help identify those patients likely to survive.

Design: Consecutive patient data were collected from all admissions to hospital for treatment of Covid-19. Data were manually extracted from the electronic patient record for statistical analysis.
