Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerged pandemic disease caused by a new coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2). Initially the mortality of this infection are related to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, but several publications also showed that this infection caused an inflammatory response with severe systemic complications (1).
spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating consequence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection.(2-3)Prior single-center studies have reported ICH in patients with COVID-19, but these findings have not been confirmed in a multicenter study.(3)
We sought to describe the prevalence of ICH among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in the American Heart Association COVID-19 Cardiovascular Disease registry and compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients with and without ICH.
