The Incidence and Mortality Ratio of Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accidents in COVID-19 Cases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily known as a respiratory illness; however, a wide variety of symptoms and complications of the central nervous system (CNS), such as ischemic cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) have been reported. Hereby, we provide a systematic review and a meta-analysis of the literature, investigating the incidence of ischemic CVA and the mortality due to it in the setting of COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Our search databases included Google Scholar, MEDLINE via Pub… Show more

“…10 A recent systematic review found a 1.7% pooled incidence of ischemic stroke in COVID-19 patients. 11 It seems that central and peripheral nervous system manifestations are neglected symptom associated with this infection.…”

“…Only Heuveline and Tzen used an approach comparable to the present one, through an indirect standardisation 21 ; however they provided only a method for cross-sectional comparisons, and derived their sex- and age- specific ratios from the US population. This might represent a problem as age- and sex- specific mortality might vary across countries, for example according to the different prevalence of co-morbidities 52 which increase the risk of mortality in COVID-19 positive individuals 53 . Conversely, using AMTRs, standardised against the age- and sex-distribution of mortality in a reference population coming from the same countries under study, during a reference period, allowed a comparison of trends both in space and over time uncovering features of the pandemic otherwise not easily detectable.…”

“…Controversial data exist on the association of stroke and COVID-19 due to contradictory results of the studies assessing the first months of the year 2020 [35]. At the hospital level, meta-analyses of cases series and cohort studies suggest an increased risk of ischemic stroke among patients with this disease [5][6][7][8], but stroke codes and reperfusion procedures have decreased respecting the prepandemic era [17][18][19][20]. When compared with other viral diseases, the proportion of hospitalizations complicated by any thrombosis was higher in patients with COVID-19 than in patients with viral respiratory illness during 2002-2014 [36].…”

“…Despite being younger, the risk of stroke during admission was higher for patients from the CC than for patients from the non-COVID cohorts. The frequency of IHIS in our CC was lower than that of other series that reflect a > 1% absolute risk of stroke among patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 [ 5 – 8 ]. As opposed to these series, our cohort only included patients having a stroke during admission because of COVID-19 and excluded those patients presenting with stroke and SARS-CoV-2 infection at the time of admission.…”
