“This study is the first to show that the presence of neurological symptoms, particularly stroke and confused or altered thinking, may indicate a more serious course of illness, even when pulmonary problems aren’t severe,” the study’s co-author Dr. David Altschul, chief of neurovascular surgery at Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, said in a news release.
“Hospitals can use this knowledge to prioritize treatment and, hopefully, save more lives during this pandemic.”
In concluding their findings, Altschul and his team were able to analyze data on more than 4,700 coronavirus-positive patients who were admitted to the Montefiore system between March 1 and April 16.
COVID Survival Declines When Brain Affected: Study

MONDAY, Dec. 28, 2020 (HealthDay News) Hospitalized COVID-19 patients with brain complications such as stroke and confusion have an increased risk of death, a new study shows.
The findings could improve care and save lives during the pandemic, the researchers said. This study is the first to show that the presence of neurological symptoms, particularly stroke and confused or altered thinking, may indicate a more serious course of illness, even when pulmonary problems aren t severe, said study co-author Dr. David Altschul, chief of neurovascular surgery at Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
Effect of Neurological Issues on COVID Mortality
People hospitalized with COVID-19 and neurological problems including stroke and confusion, have a higher risk of dying than other COVID-19 patients, according researchers at Montefiore Health System and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the journal
These findings have the potential to identify and focus treatment efforts on individuals most at risk and could decrease COVID-19 deaths, a media release from Albert Einstein College of Medicine suggests.
The study looked at data from 4,711 COVID-19 patients who were admitted to Montefiore during the 6-week period between March 1, 2020 and April 16, 2020. Of those patients, 581 (12%) had neurological problems serious enough to warrant brain imaging. These individuals were compared with 1,743 non-neurological COVID-19 patients of similar age and disease severity who were admitted during the same period.
