Early Brain Imaging Shows Increased Severity of Acute Ischemic Strokes With Large Vessel Occlusion in COVID-19 Patients

Reports are emerging regarding the association of acute ischemic strokes with large vessel occlusion and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). While a higher severity of these patients could be expected from the addition of both respiratory and neurological injury, COVID-19 patients with strokes can present with mild or none respiratory symptoms…

Incidence of pulmonary embolism in non‐critically ill COVID‐19 patients. Predicting factors for a challenging diagnosis

Recent studies suggest that thrombotic complications are a common phenomenon in the novel SARS-CoV-2 infection. The main objective of our study is to assess cumulative incidence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in non critically ill COVID-19 patients and to identify its predicting factors associated to the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism…

COVID-19-associated coagulopathy

An ongoing global pandemic of viral pneumonia (coronavirus disease [COVID-19]), due to the virus SARS-CoV-2, has infected millions of people and remains a threat to many more. Most critically ill patients have respiratory failure and there is an international effort to understand mechanisms and predictors of disease severity. Coagulopathy, characterized by elevations in D-dimer and fibrin(ogen) degradation products (FDPs), is associated with critical illness and mortality in patients with COVID-19…

The emerging spectrum of COVID-19 neurology: clinical, radiological and laboratory findings

Preliminary clinical data indicate that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is associated with neurological and neuropsychiatric illness. Responding to this, a weekly virtual coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) neurology multi-disciplinary meeting was established at the National Hospital, Queen Square, in early March 2020 in order to discuss and begin to understand neurological presentations in patients with suspected COVID-19-related neurological disorders…

High prevalence of deep vein thrombosis in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients

SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia patients present with coagulation disorders and marked susceptibility to thrombosis. However, the exact prevalence of DVT has been poorly investigated while the risk seems increased in ICU patients. Therefore, we decided to perform routine duplex ultrasound examination of the lower limb veins systematically, in order to administer appropriate anticoagulation in all intubated and mechanically ventilated patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia…
