Conclusion
Patients with AIS and COVID-19 had a higher rate of intensive care need,
higher intubation rates, longer hospital stay, higher mortality, and
poorer prognosis than those with AIS without COVID-19. High levels of
ferritin, D-dimer and fibrin degradation products were associated with
poor prognosis. Further studies are needed to elucidate their role in
the pathogenesis of AIS.
