The influence of COVID-19 on short-term mortality in acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the differences in short-term mortality risk between acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Databases were systematically searched from December 1, 2019 to May 20, 2022 using the keywords coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, and ischemic stroke.
