People who experience strokes while infected with COVID-19 appear to be left with greater disability after the stroke, according a study led by UCL and UCLH researchers.
Having COVID-19 at stroke onset was also associated with more than double the mortality rate of other stroke patients, according to the findings published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry.
The researchers found evidence that people of Asian descent might be more likely to experience COVID-19-associated ischaemic strokes (those caused by blockage of blood vessels supplying the brain) than those in other groups in the UK.
