Stroke Mechanism in COVID-19 Infection: A Prospective Case-Control Study.

Background: The characteristics and pathophysiological mechanisms involved in acute ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19 infection have not been fully clarified. We prospectively studied the phenotypic and etiological features of acute stroke occurring in COVID-19 infection.

Patients & Methods: Within nine months starting from April-2020, the presence of COVID-19 infection was determined by thoracic CT and SARS-CoV-2 PCR in all acute stroke cases managed in a single tertiary center.

Characteristics of obstetric admissions to intensive care unit: APACHE II, SOFA and the Glasgow Coma Scale.
