SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Stroke: Coincident or Causal?	2020-07-29		.txt	text/plain	656	44	55	Neurological manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection described in isolated case reports and single institutions do not accurately reflect the clinical spectrum of disease across all geographies in a global pandemic. Consistent with global reports, we observed a regional reduction in overall stroke volume during the COVID-19 pandemic peak. Surprisingly, less than 0.1% of patients suffered coincident SARS-CoV-2 infection and ischemic stroke. We also found no association between SARS-CoV-2 infection and stroke in younger patients. Similarly, a retrospective review in the UK during this same period [4] failed to identify a causal relationship in six patients with large vessel strokes and coincident SARS-CoV-2 infection because competing vascular risk factors were present. Regional data from five U.S. states suggests that among patients who sought care or were hospitalized during the peak of COVID-19, acute ischemic stroke in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection is rare and may be coincident.
