Patients with COVID-19 may present with neurological manifestations, lack of oxygenation, or clotting disorders such as ischemic or hemorrhagic strokes. This has been observed in even young patients with mild symptoms. The aim of this study was to explore current online news coverage of acute stroke associated with COVID-19 in the four-month period from April 2020 to July 2020, a time during which the US found itself in the center of the pandemic. The relevant Google News stories were reviewed for content. The analysis indicated that 118 online news reports covered the topic to varying degrees, including data from reputable sources, references to the neurological symptoms, and to the incidence of stroke in young patients. It is important that health professionals be aware of this risk and convey to the public the possibility of stroke due to COVID-19 so as to increase the probability of early diagnosis and optimal outcomes.
COVID-19 患者可能会出现神经系统表现、缺氧或凝血障碍，如缺血性或出血性中风。即使是症状较轻的年轻患者也观察到了这种情况。本研究旨在探讨 2020 年 4 月至 7 月的四个月期间与 COVID-19 相关的急性中风的当前在线新闻报道，这是美国处于大流行中心的时期。对相关的 Google 新闻报道进行了内容审查。分析表明，118 篇在线新闻报道不同程度地报道了这一主题，包括来自可靠来源的数据、对神经系统症状以及年轻患者中风发病率的引用。了解这种风险对于卫生专业人员很重要，并向公众传达 COVID-19 导致中风的可能性，以提高早期诊断和最佳结果的概率。
