This is the first comparative study to evaluate the clinical presentation and outcome of COVID-19-related acute ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients in Turkey. Our results suggest that COVID-19-related acute stroke is associated with more severe clinical presentation and worse outcome. This seems to be linked to the coagulation abnormalities induced by COVID-19 infection.
