Epidemiological Specificity оf COVID-19 Comorbidity

Abstract

Numerous observations have proven the influence of COVID-19 on the formation of comorbid pathology; however, the patterns of this relationship and the epidemiological consequences have not been sufficiently studied. Combination of two or more diseases of the cardiovascular system is a predictor of adverse outcomes in stroke patients with coronavirus infection, both in the acute period and after hospitalization. Ischemic stroke in patients with COVID-19 is associated with an increased risk of severe post-covid syndrome. The negative impact of the obligatory lockdown on disease outcomes has encouraged the authors to search for new organizational solutions as well as to elaborate appropriate technologies aimed at optimizing medical and social care for people who had no choice but to follow lockdown rules. Obligatory self-isolation, anxiety-depressive disorders, and frequent negative outcomes among these patients require the adoption of new organizational decisions and the development of effective technologies aimed at optimizing medical and social care. The authors conducted an analytical analysis of post-infectious complications in patients with ischemic stroke complicated by COVID-19. The authors conducted a combined retrospective study. Measures for improvement of medical care in stroke patients with concurrent COVID-19 were presented.
