Ischemic stroke patients with COVID-19 infection have worsen prognosis in mortality regarding hypercoagulable state condition.Objective: The study aims to determine the relationship between the hypercoagulable state and the severity of acute ischemic stroke patients with COVID-19.Methods: This study is a retrospective analytic study using a cross-sectional method in acute ischemic stroke who meet the criteria must have focal clinical symptoms or global dysfunction lasting more than 24 hours, be caused by vascular factors, be confirmed positive for COVID-19, NIHSS (admission and discharge), and have an examination of D-dimer and/or fibrinogen. Chi-Square is used for data processing relationship analysis.Results: A total of 32 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study. Elevated D-dimer and/or fibrinogen were found in 28 patients (87.5%), confirming a hypercoagulable state. In this study, the average value of D-dimer was 5.3 mg/mL, and fibrinogen was 479 mg/dL. Based on the admission NIHSS score, it was found that most of the patients had moderate strokes with an average NIHSS score of 12. The chi-square test results showed no relationship between the hypercoagulable state and the severity of acute ischemic stroke as measured by NIHSS admission (p=0.333), but it was closely related to NIHSS exit (p=0.02). The finding supports that 40.62% of acute ischemic stroke patients with COVID-19 confirmed to have a hypercoagulable state had a death discharge status.Conclusion: There is no significant relationship between hypercoagulable state and stroke severity on admission, but it closely related to NIHSS on discharge and high mortality in acute ischemic stroke patients with COVID-19.Keywords: hypercoagulable state, acute ischemic stroke, degree of severity, NIHSS
