MRI of Cerebrovascular Injury Associated With COVID-19 and Non-COVID-19 Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome: A Matched Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Cerebrovascular injury associated with COVID-19 has been recognized, but the mechanisms remain uncertain. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe pulmonary injury, which is associated with both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. It remains unclear if cerebrovascular injuries associated with severe COVID-19 are unique to COVID-19 or a consequence of severe respiratory disease or its treatment. The frequency and patterns of cerebrovascular injury on brain MRI were compared among patients with COVID-19 ARDS and non-COVID-19 ARDS.

Design

A case-control study.

Setting

A tertiary academic hospital system.

Patients

Adult patients (>18 yr) with COVID-19 ARDS (March 2020 to July 2021) and non-COVID-19 ARDS (January 2010-October 2018) who underwen
