ABSTRACT

Objectives Studies have reported high incidences of stroke in patients hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2, but
the impact of disease severity is unexplored. We aimed
to estimate the risk of incident ischaemic stroke in SARS-CoV-2 test-positive individuals compared with test- negative individuals stratified by disease severity during acute infection and post infection.
